Juan Williams: We must not become numb to Trump's abnormality
By Juan Williams, opinion contributor — 07/20/20 06:00 AM EDT


Normal?

How about a summer in which Americans are not allowed to travel to Canada or Europe? Seriously. That’s due to President Trump’s failure to halt the high rate of coronavirus infections in the United States.

That’s not normal.

Is it normal for an American president to stand in the White House Rose Garden and begin ranting? Trump said if presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins this year’s election, Biden will do away with the suburbs and windows.

Yes, he really said that.

There is so much that is not normal at the Trump White House that Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC host, recently spent an entire segment reading off a stunning list of scandalous acts now accepted as normal in the Trump era.

Is it normal, she asked, that Trump “put his son’s wedding planner in charge of federal housing in the northeastern United States ... fired one inspector general who was investigating the secretary of State ... advertised his wife’s jewelry line on the White House website?"

Any of the Trump scandals, Maddow said, would have amounted to “the biggest scandal to ever afflict any other presidency — but by virtue of the sheer number of scandals that surround [Trump] like flies around a pigpen ... [they] have just become part of what we expect, right?”

Please - people are more enraged every day. Only numbskulls are numb.

5. Well, Juan Williams is a certified numbskull.

He once insisted, live on PBS Newshour, that the word “gladiolus “ was not a flower, but something else (?) called a glad’-joo-lis.

2. "...Biden will do away with the suburbs and windows".

Which is exactly what I was afraid of - my preferred candidate (Warren), would NEVER have done something so crazy.

6. Not exactly an original observation, Mr. Williams, but the "libs" on FOX are finally coming around.

Even stalwart Republicans realized it before you did, Jusn: "Long exposure to Donald Trump shouldn’t dull us to how loathsome a character he is, and to how humiliating it is that he is our president." - Bill Kristol
