Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
But, can't we blame the media for trump's utter lack of a filter. For his hateful steam of consciousness? For doing their job, and reporting what pulls the eyes to their content?
The following points from Mr. Reich's article really resonated with me.
"Only actions should be news — not threatened actions, not possible actions, not proposed actions that are mere bubbles on a stream of consciousness — but concrete actions."
"Those who report on such actions should let us know exactly who is behind them, because often it’s not Trump."
"More likely it’s one of his fanatics — Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., Kash Patel, or Pam Bondi — who has ordered specific things to happen."
"Trump is responsible, of course, because it’s his regime. Yet we also deserve to know — so we can eventually hold them accountable — the people who are making America into the frightening, bigoted, lawless mess it’s fast becoming."
