I am deeply troubled by the ability of DJT to manipulate the U.S. news media. There’s a pattern he follows, time and again, and they react as if it’s brand-new, unique, and The End of All Things.
He yells that he’s done with Congress over Plague Stimulus legislation, kicks over the card table, and stomps away.
The media report The Presidential Stomp as if it is the first time ever, by him or any other president.
I agree that daily journalism is the first draft of history, but anybody who pays attention should have noticed DJT’s pattern. He’s a failed businessman who gets his way by threats, lawsuits, and tantrums.
Scream, yell, stomp. A couple days later, he’s ready to talk again, makes a new proposal even bigger than Congress’s, and negotiations resume. Eventually he announces that he’s pleased. Pass it and I’ll sign it.
He’s smart in a feral way, but still a one-trick pony.

I toyed with the idea that he didn’t really contract COVID-19, faked it for heinous reasons, but he’s not that good an actor.
There are 7 million Americans who know exactly how Rona feels, and know that he’s not virus-free.
The more lies, the wiser the lied-to.
