Jeffrey Blehar: "The Trump Effect: On the Media"

link

I foolishly thought Trump could keep himself largely under control until after the mid-terms, when he'll be a lame duck.

But, then, I would never have predicted the Charlie Kirk murder, which seems to have accelerated...lots of things.

Though I think I was well on my way to being wrong anyway.

Now I continue to (probably foolishly) hope that Trump can do enough to roll back the advances of the left to make the damage he's doing worth it. A reason for optimism: much of the damage he's doing won't survive long. In fact, blowback against his looniness will (I'd guess) likely help undo it rapidly. A reason for pessimism: much of the good he's doing probably won't survive long, either. (For one thing, much of it has been done by Executive Order.)

But I'm wrong a lot.

So who knows?
