Trump ran as the anti-politician and absolute outsider. This allowed and still allows him to get away with things that no other politician or insider could.

morning all
and i dont quite agree

the R congress and the press both and simultaneously abdicated when he was elected

as i see it, the R congress, without any prodding, gave up its oversight role and a lot of its constitutional authority

the press forgot how the truth fits in with their job

we keep saying “no other president…” because congress and the media somewhat always did their jobs until he came along
