| The Media's Editorial Agenda Against Trump |
It was no
secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a
demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in
American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a “catastrophe.”
Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck.
Like millions of other Americans, we clung to a slim hope that the new
president would turn out to be all noise and bluster, or that the people
around him in the White House would act as a check on his worst
instincts, or that he would be sobered and transformed by the awesome
responsibilities of office.Instead, seventy-some days in — and with about 1,400 to go before his term is completed — it is increasingly clear that those hopes were misplaced.
In a matter of weeks, President Trump has taken dozens of real-life steps that, if they are not reversed, will rip families apart, foul rivers and pollute the air, intensify the calamitous effects of climate change and profoundly weaken the system of American public education for all.
