Our news media has done a good job covering Trumps crimes, on the other hand they allowed Trump to completely use the news media to commit his crimes.
When he tweets, it's a test, When he says some things at a news conference it's a test. When he appears on Fox news he tests his ideas.
Right now he is testing the idea of firing Fauci. He has been testing the idea of defunding the W.H.O.
He watches the news, seeing how his idea is going over, then he makes a decision whether to do it or not. Trump uses the news media as an advisor. As a tool to commit his crimes. As a tool to attack his enemies. It works.

Such a wi mp, really.
