The most amusing part of the Trump transition has been watching its effortless confounding of the media, often in fewer than 140 characters.

An epidemic of constitutional chin-tugging and civil-libertarian hair-pulling immediately breaks out. By the time the media have exhausted their outrage over the looming abolition of free speech, judicial supremacy, and affordable kale, Trump has moved on.
