Examples of ironies in a Sentence

  1. Barbara Schapiro:

  5. Attorney General Barr:

    One of the ironies today is that people are saying it is President Trump who is shredding our institutions. I really see no evidence of that, from my perspective, the idea of' resisting' a democratically elected President and basically throwing everything at him, and really changing the norms on the grounds that we have to stop this President. That's where the shredding of our norms and institutions is occurring.
