Contrary to what hope-peddlers and happy-pill sellers in the news media and commentariat would like the American people to believe, Trump is never going to stop.

Surprisingly, the commentariat has seldom acknowledged, let alone analyzed, the neurosis of showy patriotism concealing hidden hostility to one’s country, despite a popular film, “The Manchurian Candidate,” that described its essentials more than 60 years ago.

His statement that transgender girls and women participating in female sports leagues is “deeply unfair” produced screaming headlines — this from a longtime champion of LGBTQ+ rights, no less — and acres of analyses from the political commentariat and those inhabiting social media.

During the 2024 presidential campaign and after, a recurrent theme among the commentariat was that liberal Americans shouldn’t be, well, mean to Donald Trump supporters.

It’s true that last year Biden finally started touting “Bidenomics,” but congressional Democrats and practically the whole liberal commentariat quickly shut him down; didn’t the president see the polls showing that most people weren’t “feeling the benefits?”
