| The amnesia in this article and many of the comments here is stupefying. Have we all forgotten the things DJT said and did throughout his campaign: - Called Mexican immigrants rapists and murderers; - Mocked the physically disabled; - Used his ownership of a beauty pageant to look at naked women dressing; - Made threats of political violence; - Demonstrated a contempt for science; - Put forth conspiracy theories regarding the President, HRC and climate change; - The racist (yes, racist) comments he made regarding Judge Curiel; And this isn't even the half of it. Let's also not forget the behavior of those who showed up at his rallies spewing hatred, racism and xenophobia. That actually happened. Does the press have issues? Undoubtedly. But to write off the last 18 months and Tuesday's election as "smugness" is to have lost the plot. |
Yes, Trump has done a lot that should disqualify him. (You didn't even mention what to me is about the biggest ones: Threatened revenge on those who spoke against him.)
And yes, the article has a very valid point about the media - it really does live in its own bubble, not understanding most of the country.
