"what liberal media?"
the press is actively covering for him. https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1259674038852616192
in case you don't know, "what liberal media?" is a reference to @Eric_Alterman's 2003 book, which was key to my early understanding of this media system https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/what-liberal-media/
the press has an intense bias to normalcy. trump is extremely abnormal. this leads the media to simply airbrush the weird crap he does and present a version of trump that bears absolutely no resemblance with reality.
i watch every public event trump does. rarely does one go all the way through without him saying or doing intensely weird shit. with any other prez - d or r - it would be wall to wall. with trump, they just shrug it off.
for instance, how many places did you see an exchange like this? absolutely batshit. barely made a blip. https://twitter.com/AmerIndependent/status/1258487594096230402
