Politico: Why is Trump pouncing on Democrats and the media rather than seeking national unity?

Consider this the pounciest of the media’s constant “conservatives/Republicans pounce!” spin on bad news for their opponents. After having been reviled by Democrats and the media as a traitor for the past two years, Politico apparently expected Donald Trump and his allies to react to his exoneration by, um, pretending it never happened. The big takeaway from the outlet’s perspective is that Trump & Co. should have showed more “interest in healing or national unity” rather than point out that their opponents had engaged in paranoid conspiracy theories:
The article itself rings the same pouncy bell: (
Trump begins post-Mueller 'reset' by attacking Democrats, media - POLITICO)
“There’s a rare moment here for Donald Trump to get a bit of a reset,” said Matt Schlapp, a Trump ally and chairman of the American Conservative Union. “He’s got a chance to reconnect with more Americans than he even did previously.” But after the nearly two-year investigation found no collusion or clear obstruction of justice, Trump and his aides showed little interest in healing or national unity. They quickly launched a fierce counterattack against both Democrats and the media, claiming that Trump had survived what amounted to an extralegal coup — and implying that other charges of wrongdoing against him should also be discounted. “Democrats simply can’t be trusted,” former Trump White House official Steven Cheung said. “Democrats lied to the American people continually, hoping to undo the legitimate election of President Trump,” a Sunday statement from Trump’s re-election campaign declared.
Small wonder, then, that Trump et al aren’t seeking national unity from Democrats and the media. They still haven’t learned their lesson from Russiagate, and at this rate they never will. Under those circumstances, it’s laughable to spin this as a problem when the slandered doesn’t kiss and make up with those who slandered them.

The only "uniting" that needs to be done is the Left rejoining the rest of the nation over here in reality. They need to "unite" their minds after the past two years of cognitive dissonance.
If the Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrats are seeking national unity with Republicans, why are they continuing with their investigations and not promoting national unity themselves? Hmm...., trying 'National Unity' with the Democrats is like trying to make friends with a crocodile. They just look for the best moment to strike.
Stop and think about it. If I was accused of something I didn't do for two years and had my name and my family dragged through the mud because the other side couldn't accept that someone as corrupt as Hillary Clinton lost the election you can bet your bippy I would be looking for payback.
On the other hand, After more than two years of fomenting national disunity with its endless stream of smears innuendos and lies, the mainstream media now thinks their target should promote unity? Why don't they begin the process?
