What behaviors of Trump should not be corrected or normalized?The normalization of behavior previously regarded as completely unacceptable is one of the more dangerous aspects of the Divider-in-Chief's presidency.Bragging about ratings has been Trump's schtick since he started running, that is not new or news.
For someone who's "woke" and supposedly champions diversity and tolerance, I'm always mystified by how intolerant the Left is toward all things Trump. As Hannibal Lecter would say "what is it in and of itself"?
You can evaluate Trump's life experiences and personality development the way we looked at Obama's and make judgments. Was he raised by wolves? Was he deprived? Was he privileged? Does he have a personality disorder or two? Is he really smart or just really fucking lucky?
What I like about Trump is that he's a workaholic, and knows how the upper crust runs the country.
So I'm not "normalizing" Trump's behavior, I'm tolerating it knowing that is his personality.
Tolerating behaviors are how they become normalized.
Should a shrink give Trump feedback in the NYT so we can track his progress?
His lying and bullshit, obviously, should be corrected, but I was only pointing out the inconsistency in your post. If you tolerate a behavior - Trump's or anyone else's - that's how it becomes normalized. I always got a kick out of Paul Ryan saying Trump's behavior, on a given day, was 'unacceptable', and then proceeding to accept it. It stripped his words of meaning.
