> [@Bricker](#): > > Trump is right: no politician in history has been treated worse. > > But no politician in history has arrived at the office of President so little prepared, and then made so many boneheaded decisions. > > So there’s a REASON for the unprecedented treatment: the unprecedented incompetence. This is all true, of course. But even if it wasn’t … Anticipating how the media will treat your words and actions is a crucial skill in being a politician. If you’ve given the media rope to hang you with and as a result have undermined your own ability to drain the swamp or take back government or whatever your supposed goal is, then you’ve failed as president, even if it’s true that you’re being treated unfairly. [This is true of Republicans generally. The media is biased against Republicans. But as a Republican that doesn’t get you off the hook. You need to appreciate that and then consider your words and actions and act in the way that would be most effective in that environment. Ignoring it and failing and then complaining that it’s not fair that you failed doesn’t cut it.] ---

Obviously, this causes more problems than it solves, is a constitutional catastrophe, is illegal, blah blah blah.

The media is biased against Republicans. Alternative hypothesis: the media treats the republican party _more_ than fairly, the republican party is just so batshit crazy that it still looks like the republicans don’t get a fair shake. Exhibit A: Donald fucking Trump runs the party. Exhibit B: Climate change denialism. Exhibit C: [Since this article was published](https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/lets-just-say-it-the-republicans-are-the-problem/), do you reckon things have gotten better or worse? Exhibit D: Look at how major “right-wing” news networks covered the news that Trump shared Codeword classified intel with russians. Or just “right-wing” “news” in general. Exhibit E: Compare and contrast: the benghazi non-scandal vs. everything we’ve seen over the last week If you’re legitimately pushing the lunatic fringe, the strongest tool in your arsenal is the constant refrain of “[everyone who criticizes us is biased](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/31/opinion/working-the-refs.html?_r=0)”. And if most watchdog groups are trying hard to give off the impression of bipartisanship, they will _bend over backwards_ to give you and your batshit fucking crazy ideas a fair shake, no matter how unreasonable that is. A party that is this fucking unmoored and insane has no right to complain when the press rightfully calls bullshit on their crap. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > Trump is right: no politician in history has been treated worse. Even setting aside the obvious cases of assassination and other physical assault, the fact is that for much of American history (to say nothing of world history) political vituperation was dished out to an extent that makes most modern mudslinging\* look like an episode of _Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood_. \*In the mainstream media, anyway. Obviously, the Internet’s power to send voices around the world where they once reached only to the end of the bar has had unfortunate side effects in this regard. > [@BobLibDem](#): > > I don’t recall any people questioning his citizenship. Or thinking he might be a terrorist because of his middle name. Or associating him with a religion that he doesn’t follow. Technically, evangelicals’ attempts to paint him as “a good Christian man” are an example of the last. ---

Yeah, from what I’ve heard of early american politics Trump hasn’t seen _anything_ yet, and never will. He’s just a big goddamned baby who thinks that the stubbing his toe has received is the worst injury ever in the world ever. ---

When a public figure spends years trying to prove that Trump isn’t an American, maybe then I’ll start feeling sorry for him. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > If you actually listen to what he said (and why would you?) he references “the media” as who he is talking about. And Lincoln was baked clean by the media of his day on a regular basis. So were a lot of other politicians. Anyone with an IQ of more than 95 knows that they’re going to be severely tested and severely criticized as President of the United States. It comes with the territory. Donald Trump clearly did not, nor does he currently, more than 100+ days into the office, appear to understand this. Previous presidents have also been both intelligent and experienced enough to maintain a sense of decorum and dignity under fire. Donald Trump possesses neither and doesn’t appear to be getting any hints. ---
