In the latest installment of everyone’s favorite political soap opera, How Can We Miss Him if He Won’t Ever Leave?, Donald Trump lashed out at the “mainstream media” for what he perceives as their unfair treatment of him. A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal printed an op-ed piece where they endorsed the increasingly popular opinion that the Republican Party really needs to move on from Trump and Trumpism. (And yes, we can use the term “printed” here, as there is still an ink and paper version of this venerable newspaper in addition to its online edition.)
While Trump’s address to the Conservative Political Action Committee last Sunday, an occasion that marked his return to public speaking, was well-received by its audience, the WSJ pointed out that “if CPAC represented America, Mr. Trump would still reside in the White House, not Mar-a-Lago.” Specifically addressing all of the boasting Trump did about his great successes over the course of the past year where he single-handedly defeated the pandemic, the paper went on to ask: “If 2020 was so fabulous, why are Republicans shut out of power up and down Pennsylvania Avenue?” Unsurprisingly, Trump was less than pleased with what he considered to be fighting words.
