Both Sides Now

Am I alone in thinking of Joni Mitchell every time the President talks about "Both Sides"

Tears and fears and Nazi pride
They say “Seig Heil” and the Jews deride
Dreams and schemes of my racist pals
I happily looked the other way

I’ve looked at fights from both sides now
The good and bad and still somehow
It’s only delusions that I recall
I really have no morals at all...
