"Apparently, neither the media nor supposedly sober Republicans have learned anything from the past.

Trump gave a bonkers speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, musing about Russia blowing up NATO headquarters, claiming President Biden had taken the border wall and “put it in a hiding area,”...

We do not get headlines acknowledging this is unhinged."

Timid media and GOP figures are again, dangerously, normalizing Trump

The ex-president gave an unhinged speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Most headlines evaded the issue.

The Washington Post

"We do not get headlines acknowledging this is unhinged. Instead, we get from the New York Times: “Trump Says He Would Stay in 2024 Race if Indicted.”...

Politico went with: “Trump ties a ribbon on the most MAGA CPAC yet.” Hmm.

From the coverage, you would never understand how incoherent he sounds, how far divorced his statements are from reality, and how entirely abnormal this all is. Talk about burying the lead."

The Washington Post

"The press and Republicans’ mutual distaste for candidly acknowledging Trump’s break with reality and the danger he poses to democracy was on full display on the Sunday shows....

Equally cringeworthy, Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) on “This Week” wouldn’t rule out supporting a nominee indicted on a felony charge that involved overthrowing the 2020 election results"

The Washington Post

"Here are Republicans, some of whom are considering runs for the presidency, who somehow expect to get through a campaign without mentioning the single most disqualifying thing about the leader in the race (other than his mental unfitness):

He [Trump] betrayed the country.

Such timidity is itself disqualifying for someone seeking the presidency."

@ZhiZhu Goofing off & looting in (undeserved) presidential office, did Donald J. Trump ever abide by the most basic provision of the Constitution to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,..."?
Has he even ever been capable of doing so? (Rhetorical question)
