How To Do It, Right

No foolish consistency here:

Q: Is your expectation other countries will assist in effort to blockade Iran?

TRUMP: Yeah. Other countries are gonna also.

Q: Which countries, sir?

TRUMP: We don't need other countries.

Press Watch advises The NYT on better ways to tell the story of Lumpy's derangement, dementia, delusion & dipshittery.

As I wrote last week, once a news organization acknowledges that the president is – or even may be – insane, they are also acknowledging that this is an extremely dangerous situation. That obliges them to start aggressively and constantly reporting on what can be done about it – even if there appears to be no political will to do so at the moment. It’s an imperative.

What we also need – as I begged for shortly before the election, when it really could have done some good – is a “Cronkite moment,” where trusted voices in news turn to the camera, or the internet, and declare that Trump is self-evidently unfit for office.

And in the meantime, every incremental news story about something Trump does or says that is abnormal – which is almost everything he does or says – ought to be accompanied by a statement about his mental instability.

Because that is really what explains Trump. Most immediately, it explains why we’re at war, and why he makes it worse and worse all the time.
