the ones that happened last week. Any one of these would be enough to sink a normal administration, but since no one really holds him accountable, they just keep adding up.

But you're right. The MSM really focuses on Comrade Stupid so much that they can't cover anyone else. The chairman of CBS said that Trump would be bad for the country but good for CBS.
