Naughty: Donald Trump. He still doesn’t seem to understand the presidency. Governing by insult and Twitter is simply juvenile. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Naughty: Saudi Arabia. Killing an American journalist, cutting him into small pieces, lying about it, then repeatedly changing stories. Let them keep their stinking oil! (AP Photo/Ricardo Mazalan)

Amazon chose to place half of its second headquarters in Arlington's Crystal City. Why it chose that location is due to a number of factors. (WTOP/Megan Cloherty)
Nice: Amazon. We didn’t get the whole pie of HQ2, but it’s nice for Northern Virginia to get a generous slice. Thanks, Jeff! (WTOP/Megan Cloherty)

Naughty: The University of Maryland. If there was a way to screw up the school’s reputation any more than it already is, I can’t imagine it. The football coach is fired. Wait, no he’s not. Whoops, yes he is.  Geeesh. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)

Nice: “Hamilton” finally came to D.C. The tickets were horribly expensive, but at least we can all feel smug about being in the know on this most interesting musical. (Joan Marcus/The Public Theater via AP)

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (11) lays on the ground as teammate Adrian Peterson, right, holds his hand after an injury during the second half of an NFL football game against the Houston Texans, Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018 in Landover, Md. Smith broke his right tibia and fibula on a sack by Texans' Kareem Jackson. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
Naughty: The Redskins. So, let’s see. They sign an aging quarterback who breaks his leg halfway through the season, and whose career may be over. Then the backup quarterback’s leg is broken. Oh, plus, they sign a linebacker who is a known abuser of women. And the name of the team is still a ridiculous slur. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

Nice: Mr. Rogers. If you haven’t seen “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” do so. It demonstrates the right way to interact with children. And bring some tissues along. (Jim Judkis/Focus Features via AP)
