This is a fantastic comment in response to this article since it exemplifies the criticism of the article.

Once upon a time (ie 2 years ago) the President following the law, living up to both implicit and explicit agreements made with foreign nations, not wanting to plaster their own name onto everything, not lying about the citizens of the country, etc would be considered a good thing.

Today, doing the opposite is considered praiseworthy because “at least he’s doing something”.

This is exactly the “anything goes” mentality the author is critiquing.
