This is a good sign. Until recently the job the media seemed to be doing was to report what he wanted them to by redirecting their attention to how many fans he has. Today the media is not going for it. They are showing more of the protests, the town halls, and the complete anger at the Trump admin and Republicans.
They keep mentioning how so many are too scared to hold town halls. I think they realized that Trump has been using them and they are fighting back by showing how unliked he is.
If we keep this up, we will end his admin before the midterm.

(722 posts)But I think it's dawned on them that they've become incredibly complacent and lazy in recent decades, and that they MUST play their part - their Constitutional duty - to squeeze this demon back in the box.
I hope they get a taste for proper investigative reporting again.

(9,670 posts)If he doesn't resign, I don't see the Republicans ousting him for any reason.
Not enough there for treason. Not enough political will among the GOP to impeach him.
The Founding Fathers were pretty smart, but they certainly didn't foresee a clusterfuck of this magnitude, or we'd have a mechanism in place to reconvene an election whose results were tarnished by overt foreign influence.
