rob society of protection for the environment, eliminate privacy protection for personal information so it can be sold to the highest bidder, allow your investment institutions do what is best for them and not the client...etc when you can do or plan to do all that and not be a villain of horrific proportions because you bomb some people tangentially associated with an act, and thus became presidential then you live in one F* up time.

Trump just learned that no matter how dire his situation is, all he has to do is lob some bombs at someone and he'll he exalted by the War Loving Media as the great commander in chief.

We are long past the time where we can expect the press to be any kind of a check on Trump.
