Really? 3 1/2 years into this Trump shit show and I am STILL hearing talking heads

on my TV machine discuss whether or not Trump will "pivot" tonight and deliver a reasoned and reassuring speech outlining a course of action based on science.

Are there really people who get paid for expressing their opinions who are still waiting for the pus-bag in the Oval Office to "act presidential"?

Similar to the media practice of never calling Trump a liar.

The more pressure he's under and the more things go wrong, the more demented he gets. At some point I expect him to decompensate completely on live TV and start throwing his own shit at the walls.

Media won't get any access if they don't play softball?

Blowfeld gets a kick out of tormenting the press?

He frames everything for his base & Fox News?

He at times looks sick of the whole thing, and that I agree with?
