Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent
A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”
Um, holy shit? This has gotta be up there in the most crass & worse things Trump has ever said

Also notice that half of it is camera crew.

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

You never want to read too much into a single special election, except tonight. Tonight, I give everyone permission.
LOL. Despite this being a Harris+71 seat, Democrat Meg Luger-Nikolai won tonight by a *91-point* margin. Easily one of the wildest overperformances we’ve ever seen, given the district’s deep, deep blue lean.
Couple of special elections in very blue districts in the Twin Cities area tonight, though only one is contested. It's a +71 Harris seat, so hard for Democrats to overperform when the margins are already so lopsided, but we'll see.

USA Today needs to retract this story.
1. The criticism is not widespread.
2. The only people attacking Walz in the article are Trump appointees or allies.
3. Holocaust survivors and historians have validated his perspective for decades.
