With the Inauguration of Donald Trump you have set the bar very high.
You have declared Trump a:
1. Racist
2. Homophobe
3. Misogynist
4. Fascist
5. Tyrant
It’s similar to President Barack Obama being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize based on what he Might Do. (As an aside; He didn’t Do.)
Your Media now has their job cut out for them. They will have to position Trump’s tenure to fit all of your above expectations and accusations. But you can relax… your demands will most certainly be met.
So what happens if he turns out Not to be the above?
Don’t worry, there is always someone, somewhere, who will point to Trump as the Destroyer of Worlds. Your Press will find renewed energy to breathe life into their long deceased role as ‘government watchdog’… Trump will not suffer, as his predecessor did, from a lack of resistance.
But, you ask, what if he’s actually good, possibly… great?
Calm down… you can rest assured that any successes will be met with silence.
Remember your news source of choice, The New York Times motto:
“All the News we Choose to Print.”

LOL! There’s something to be said about lowering people’s expectations that can work in your favor. I’m sure the media will do an excellent job of pulling imaginary things out from behind their ears, but for the most part I think it’s going to be really challenging to confirm everyone’s fears.

Without the monopoly on the public ear… it may be slightly more difficult. We’ll see.
