And the evangelical crowd is unbothered. I’m sure they would be equally unbothered if Biden or Harris posted this exact photo of themself.

Here’s the thing: Donald Trump has been able to get away with saying and doing things that no other president in the history of this country has ever been able to. For some bizarre reason that no one can explain, the normal rules don’t apply to him. His reign will be the subject of study and analysis for many years to come.[/quote]

No, it won't.  The only historical footnote of his presidency will be as the transition from the TEA Party to whatever follows MAGA (America First?).

Trump has done little that will last long term.  While corrupt, he's only one in a long line of corrupt presidents going back to Clinton.  The rules fell apart when Obama broke so many, and people noticing Trump's destruction of norms simply admit they haven't been paying attention when their side has done the same.  [/quote]
People need to stop using this playbook: saying "but the Democrats did something too and it was worse." Such BS. No one compares to Trump when breaking norms; no one, not even a Republican. Come on, he knocked down part of the White House!

My favorite thing about Trump is that different people pick different things that he's done as *the* thing that crossed the line. Some say it's knocking down the East Wing. Some say it's pardoning a guy who helped him and his family make billions in crypto. Some say it's accepting a jet from Qatar. Some say it's the war in Iran. Some say it's posting a picture of himself as Jesus. And really there are no wrong answers here - he's crossed lines the likes of which no one has seen before.[/quote]

The Jesus thing is nowhere close to the worst thing he has done. It’s quite possibly the most bizarre and unhinged though. [/quote]

The fact that for many MAGA, THIS was the line he finally crossed is so illustrative of how little they care about anything real that actually matters. Their concerns are entirely fictional.[/quote]

MAGA doesn’t trust the news. They believe liberals exaggerate and make up things. And they are not wrong.

This blasphemy was sourced directly to the president himself. This is why. If the nytimes reported he was mocking Jesus, maga would not believe it. Again, a reputation the news media earned.

That’s absurd.  The NY Times is part of the right wing media ecosystem.  Its current editorial mission is to sanewash, carry water for authoritarianism, and amplify RW talking points and fake problems for MAGA to fixate on.  MAGA loves lies.  They should be lapping that up with a spoon.[/quote]this is a lie. the NYT has been running stories of his lapses.  MAGA does not read the NYT.[/quote]

You're both wrong (except the part where MAGA does not read the NYT - true, MAGA does not read at all).

I read the NYT and WaPo every morning. Stories of Trump's mental incapacity - distinct from stories that criticize his decisions without mentioning his mental health - are exceedingly rare, and there has NEVER been an editorial about it in either newspaper during his second term! Recently, some Opinion pieces have been allowed to talk about it, either directly, like in the recent NYT piece, or very circuitously, like some WaPo articles.

So the main centrist newspapers are not on board yet. They have to get on board and be more forthright about his recent, very clear symptoms of dementia, such as when he was told to tell the press the Jesus image was doctored, but instead he said he thought it depicted him as a doctor. This is dereliction of duty at this point.
