Most likely thinking along the lines ofThe media has become incapacitated by two things: (1) its takeover by billionaires, many of whom are right-leaning to begin, and all of whom have a strong interest in currying favor with the Trump regime, and (2) its inability to determine how to respond to Trump's incessant bluster. On the second one, I'm not at all apologizing for them. It's their job to figure this out. But I do have some sympathy. When he says shit like this about Canada and Greenland, do you take him seriously? Do you take it as a joke? Do you attribute it to trolling? Is it best to just ignore it?
Trump has dumbed down the level of our political discourse to such a level that intelligent people, which includes most reporters, are simply unable to respond effectively. It's like trying to reason with a toddler having a tantrum because his binky is in the wash. Again, I'm not giving the press a pass. They have to figure this out. But godalmighty I just can't get past the absolute idiocy of the people who voted for this scumbag. What were you idiots thinking?
“So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong.”
