The press thinks Americans are stupid

They believe that if Trump acts like a reasonable human being for ninety minutes they will forget he is a lunatic. That is no more effective a strategy than a defense lawyer putting the guy who shot and killed his wife , put her in a wood chipper, and then threw the remains into the ocean in a suit and expecting the jury to exonerate him.
