The media can’t stand being stood up to. It’s used to politicians groveling before its power to destroy them. The problem is DJT isn’t a politician.
Which is understandable, or at least a given. Not really acceptable, but at least understood. BUT....when an ostensible member of the party that’s supposed to be standing up for freedom extols them and backstabs a member o his own party, not for being too accommodating, not for caving to the champions of tyranny, but for actually fighting back, that’s going too far.
