Peak U.S. Politics in the Trump Era: Trump tweets there's no chaos in his White House & the political press races to post stories documenting the chaos to prove him wrong, like whether he's wrong even matters anymore, b/c they're too busy documenting chaos to hold him accountable

The corruption, the subversion of democratic norms and institutions, the erosion of civil rights, the bigotry, the march of authoritarianism. These are the areas of focus. Not the illusion of chaos.

Insisting on assessing the Trump White House and presidency using traditional political metrics treats this administration like is it normal. That helps them. They're happy to be assessed to be "failing" while succeeding wildly at reshaping U.S. politics altogether.

How much have you heard about *how* Trump announced a fundamental shift in U.S. trade policy, vs. how much you've heard about the "chaos" regarding his announcement? https://t.co/A7Konrbb4f

The revolving door on the front of the White House is far less important than the steady stream of burglars walking our democracy piece by piece out the back door.
