“…the fallout from the Ohio rally in particular, is illustrative not only of the changing contours of the debate over how to handle Trump’s speech, but also of its persistent unsolvability and the muddle that inevitably follows.” - Jon Allsop/CJR https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/trump_ohio_speech_bloodbath_media_broadcast_live.php

"Taylor realized “how much the reporting of #Trump necessarily edits & parses his words, to force it into sequential paragraphs or impose meaning where it is difficult to detect...

When he starts losing properties, he'll become even more destructive.
