God the way media babies him It bought his fraudulent autobiographical self-mythologizing, it credulously reports every hyperbolic claim he makes about his products knowing that they're false, and even when he says something colossally stupid and fantastical like this he gets earned media coverage

All this talk about the need for “civics.” But when Trump is walking around saying about going to war with Iran “I haven’t decided yet”; and “maybe I will; maybe I won’t”, how many media outlets are reminding Americans that Art. 1, Sec 8 grants the power to declare war to CONGRESS. Do your job.
