Instead of posting near-daily topics about hating Trump, we can just assume you still hate Trump =p Personally, I'm continually amused by the hyperbolic stupidity embodied by the overly dramatic headlines and manufactured controversies. The NYT had an op-ed which succinctly discusses these issues:
To travel the liberal byways of social media over recent weeks was to learn that Donald Trump was on the precipice of axing Robert Mueller and was likely to use the days just before Christmas, when we were distracted by eggnog and mistletoe, to lower the blade.
Christmas has come. Christmas has gone. Mueller has not.
To listen to Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders, the tax overhaul that Trump just signed into law is no mere plutocratic folly. Its Armageddon (Pelosis actual word). Their opposition is righteous, but how will millions of voters who notice smaller withholdings from their paychecks and more money in their pockets square that seemingly good fortune with such prophecies of doom on a biblical scale?
Some of these Americans may decide that the prophets arent to be trusted and that the president isnt quite the pestilence they make him out to be.
Im not minimizing Trumps capriciousness or cupidity. He could yet fire Mueller, the special counsel. Some conservatives intensifying attacks on the counsel and the F.B.I. are clearly grist for that.
And the tax bill is indeed a messy, fiscally reckless means for Republican lawmakers to please their donors and crow that they are getting big things done.
But the end of the world? Come on. Thats not par-for-the-course hyperbole. Its peculiar-to-Trump hyperventilation, an understandable response to such an indecent president but quite possibly a tactical mistake. It could weaken the odds of hobbling him next fall, in the midterm elections, and of putting him far behind us in November 2020. And thats where I, for one, want him: in the rearview mirror, growing tinier and tinier as we zoom, pedal to the metal, toward a saner, more dignified horizon.
But I worry. When Trumps opponents react to so much of what he says and does with such unfettered outrage, that howl becomes background noise, and its harder to make sure that his unequivocally foul maneuvers stand out from his debatably foolish ones. When we constantly conjure the direst scenarios, we risk looking like ignorable hysterics and bolstering his grandiose claims of martyrdom if events unfold in a less damnable fashion.
