The media is never going to learn. Jon Favreau, Obama’s former speechwriter, clearly demonstrated this in one tweet. The media rushes to normalize and praise this “president,” but a short time later, it’s the same old Trump.
You see the problem here? The media’s expectation level of this president is very, very low. The media either doesn’t understand what they are dealing with, which I find hard to believe, or it’s truly this incompetent.
This NBC piece is literally giving him kudos for things he should have been doing a long time ago. They set the bar so low when it comes to this disaster of a “president.”
That's been especially evident since he departed Washington for the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires last week, where he gave a public cold shoulder to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, signed a trade deal with Mexico and Canada, canceled a press conference so as not to distract from the mourning of President George H.W. Bush and pulled back from his trade war with China.
On the flight home, he said he would agree to a two-week stopgap bill to avoid a government shutdown after months of threatening a showdown over Congress' refusal to provide full funding for his promised border wall. And he has exhibited all the grace in handling Bush's state funeral that he failed to show when Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., died just a few months ago.
On cue, and just to put an exclamation point on behavior that will never change, Trump decided it was a good day to attack his former Secretary of State.
Time and time again, the media’s rush to find the “presidential” in Trump’s presidency backfires. It only takes another tweet, a press conference or any form of communication this “president” chooses—to reaffirm his very erratic and unpresidential behavior. In the meantime, the media keeps generating these pathetic pieces that only serve to normalize his behavior. It appears the media will never learn.
