Theres an old adage that politics aint beanbag. Tough talk and underhanded tactics from politicians shouldnt send you to the fainting couch, unless it comes from the other side (and you can convince media outlets that some egregious sin has been committed or in more concrete terms, some law has been broken).
As hes done in every aspect of his life, Trump has exploited this cynical societal construct and completely shattered boundaries that seemingly used to exist. But he couldnt do so without pliant partners in the corporate media who have allowed him to operate under completely different rules than other politicians especially Democrats.
Just take his comments on Truth Social last week. In the midst of his desperate attempt to find an off-ramp for his disastrous war of choice in Iran its not going well; hes declared victory dozens of times but cant stop bragging about continuing to bomb Tehran to hell Trump reminded us that theres another evil to fight.

Thats right. The president declared that theres an enemy that rivals that of the Iranians who his so-called Secretary of War has sworn to obliterate: the Democratic Party. Did you happen to miss that story? I dont blame you. It was hardly a blip on the legacy medias radar.
