Trump Trauma

This is not just a feud or a fight or a battle. It is scorched-earth warfare in which only one side can achieve victory. To a stunning degree, the press is falling into the president’s trap. The country’s top news organizations have targeted Trump with an unprecedented barrage of negative stories, with some no longer making much attempt to hide their contempt. Some stories are legitimate, some are not, and others are generated by the president’s own falsehoods and exaggerations. But the mainstream media, subconsciously at first, has lurched into the opposition camp and is appealing to an anti-Trump base of viewers and readers, failing to grasp how deeply it is distrusted by a wide swath of the country.

Those who the gods would destroy they first make mad, and, boy, is the mainstream media ever mad. CNN has become completely unwatchable. They can't go for one minute at a stretch without saying something completely crazy.

They are running polling numbers for Oprah for president in 2020. That's top news.

The election in Pennsylvania is a bellwether for the whole nation, they say.

The latest on the Russia collusion investigation.

And Trump is "assaulting" law enforcement.
