WOW from nationalreview no bias here


what a surprise more False equivalence. one telling people he cant just do what he want to do.. and Trump not recognizing how hard is to be The POTUS


Where Trump’s comments seem tinged with wistfulness — O, to enjoy unburdened the breeze at Mar-a-Lago! — Obama’s were more often tinged with frustration.

again telling people what he ment and not what he said ... as if we all can't comprehend a sentence

President Trump’s first 100 days have been mostly a flurry of shallow symbolic gestures. There is a reality-television program called American Pickers, and what happens on it is this: A junkman drives around in a van and offers to buy other people’s junk, sometimes haggling over the price. The supporting characters are assistant junkmen and sundry onlookers. It is as though someone decided to remake Sanford and Son without actors, Redd Foxx’s humor, or a plot. (Or that nifty theme music.) Its popularity is as inexplicable as it is undeniable. Because nothing actually happens on American Pickers, the show relies on the illusion of action, which is created through camerawork and editing. Junkman offers $x for a quantity of junk; Junk-Haver produces a look of concentration. The camera cuts quickly back and forth among the faces of Junkman, Deputy Junkman, Assistant Deputy Junkman, Junk-Haver, and Sundry Junk-Having Onlookers. And then there is a commercial for erection pills. The application to the first 100 days of the Trump administration is of course obvious.
