Dear TV Talking Heads: Please Stop Saying “You Don’t Understand Trump”. You Absolutely DO!
Not a revelation: TV punditry overflows with nonsense. Literally. For four years of Trump kowtowing to Putin and the Republicans kowtowing to Trump, our news media and its chattering camp followers have scratched their heads hard enough to create divots every time they ask themselves “why” this is.
