Because this.
“Take, for example, three cherished institutions—White House news briefings, independent courts, nonpartisan law enforcement agencies and a nonpartisan civil service.”
LOL. Thanks for my morning comedy minute! Never this mutt was a comedy writer
“Normal” was gone in January of 1993.
Is that a joke?
“...nonpartisan law enforcement agencies and a nonpartisan civil service.”
[[Here’s the problem: Many of these “presidential norms and traditions” that Trump has left by the wayside]]
No- Here’s the problem- TDS Never Trumpers make up wild vague accusations, but NEVER give any specifics about he accusations-
“A once-sturdy nonpartisan civil service and equally assured nonpartisan courts may be too weakened to enforce a return to prior norms. “
And that’s Trump’s fault, because the civil service became weaponized against him in 2016 and forward. Riiight./s
President Trump has raised expectations for performance and delivery in a way that no bush or obama traitor type would be able to get away with their brands of BS and make it through 4 years without an uprising.
Don’t you love these idiots, lets go back bending over and being nice and getting pummeled.
Because this.
The media is permanently neutered. That bothers people in the media.
Nepotistic, Democrat cesspools.

As a former federal employee of: DoD, Census Bureau, V.A., there ain’t no such animal as a ‘non-partisan’ civil service! And that goes back to 1986!
Republican Presidents have gotten this treatment for 50 years.
“...independent courts, nonpartisan law enforcement agencies, and a nonpartisan civil service.”
I believe that the dems have been undermining these institutions for decades and under 0bama all these rather independent agencies were replaced by partisan courts, law enforcement agencies and civil service.
Surprise, surprise.
