CNN ^ | February 1, 2017 | By Ruth Ben-Ghiat

(CNN)We're not even two weeks into the Trump presidency. Has your head exploded yet? If so, you're right where Donald Trump and our shadow ruler, Steve Bannon, want you to be.

The onslaught of executive orders and threatening talk, while entirely in keeping with what Trump promised during the campaign, have left Americans of many political leanings feeling overwhelmed and fearful of what may come next.

Welcome to the shock event, designed precisely to jar the political system and civil society, causing a disorientation and disruption among the public and the political class that aids the leader in consolidating his power. . .

Yeah, sure, right. Is this the same CNN who was quiet as a church mouse on Sunday at Obama’s EOs?

Since when did editorializing become the replacement for actually reporting the real news?
That’s what this is, editorializing, not journalism...............

Actually of only one political leaning, left. The right gets it which is why we voted for Trump.

It is clearly labeled an opinion piece.

“...Americans of many political leanings...”

Guess that’s code for liberals, fascists, communists, atheists, Moose Limbs, snowflakes and D.C. bureaucrats.

Hey! They got that right!
I voted for Trump in hopes he would do EXACTLY that.

The other 99% of the ‘article’ is trash, but I want to focus on the positive.

LOL. This piece of fantasy is what passes for “analysis” on our favorite Fake News Channel. They toss out “coup” and “chaos” like popcorn and expect us to buy into their nonsense.

Sorry CNN, we don’t.

P.S. I just heard that you are being boycotted by Trump and that he doesn’t watch your channel. Too much Fake News for Trump.

And for me. And for millions of others. Sorry about that.

The media keeps making the mistake thinking that everyone thinks like they do.

I am thrilled with their heads exploding, not upset at all.

our shadow ruler, Steve Bannon

And CNN wonders why they're getting ignored and dissed?

The market is going to speak loudly over the next couple of years, and CNN is going to hear it quite clearly.

I guess remaining a viable commercial entity is now less important to CNN than (on behalf of their shadow ruler) functioning as de facto character assassins against the Trump administration.
