Their relationship with the president is not personal; their job is to report on who he really is, and provoking him to reveal himself lets them do their job even better. An insult is a confession in this context, and they might as well be field biologists documenting baboons doing baboon things.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

This is why commercial activity should be legal everywhere. A taco truck turns sleepy North Berkeley station into a thriving nightlife area. And no major costs for brick and mortar!

I just announced the No Kings Act, which will allow people to sue federal officers and agents for violating their constitutional rights In other words, if your constitutional rights are violated by Trump and his fascist regime, I'm helping you get made whole and get justice.
