“People are proud to be saying Merry Christmas again,” President Donald Trump bragged, predictably, on December 24. “AP FACT CHECK: Trump on making Christmas great again,” came the even more predictable reply from the Associated Press. This is no way to watchdog an administration, let alone celebrate a beloved holiday.
Trump, an outsider con man who hustled his way into the most prestigious insider job in America by mastering the art of the troll, has not to date found his social media equal among the hydra-headed opposition. The president pecks out impotent bluster designed to inflame the haters, and Democrats, journalists, and establishmentarian Republicans take the bait every time, writes Reason‘s Matt Welch.
