The US media, even CNN and the New York Times, is doing a terrible job covering Trump. It's like they are hedging their bets. Not only do they not acknowledge the absurdity of the things Trump is saying, they ask provocative questions that *inspire* Trump, and they take a subtly pro-gov stance in spite of the radical shift toward authoritarianism and fascism.
Just one example:
"Trump calls out Mark Carney’s Davos speech in a rebuke to Canada"
This subtly suggests #Canada did something wrong.
