Politico put it this way:
"The former president and the person that polls show is still the most likely GOP presidential nominee in 2024, today on Truth Social called for the suspension of the Constitution."
This poses a problem for journalists who would cover the 2024 election. By what logic can that coverage proceed?
Neutrality makes sense only within a constitutional order that his candidacy is trying to upend. "Just report the news" pretends this will be a normal campaign.
What a cringe-fest!
Elon Musk trying so hard to hurl insulting zingers at Mastodon. But he just comes across as incredibly awkward and dorky.
He also fails at one of the first rules of PR: don't acknowledge the little guy lest you turn them into the big guy.
