I might be missing something but I find the intense coverage about whether Trump said cruel things about troops to be perplexing.

Trump started his campaign by insulting prisoners of war. It’s all on video.

The new report adds nothing to our understanding of Trump’s character.

By relying on anonymous sources to “prove” Trump holds these views, it really shifts the debate onto Trump’s terms. He can say it’s fake news.

But the content is not substantively different to what he has said publicly.

The attention paid to this story and the Pelosi haircut shows how addicted much of the media is to the normal rhythms of political coverage

The 190K Americans that have died since March hasn’t changed anything

And neither has Trump’s systematic effort to undermine the election
