it is not an exaggeration to say that folks like Mike Beschloss and Doug Brinkley have done their profession no favors these past four years.

Beschloss lambasted President Trump in October, for example, after the commander in chief returned to the White House following a weekend at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center battling COVID-19. Upon his return, the president saluted Marine One from the South Portico stairs.

“In America....our presidents have generally avoided strongman balcony scenes — that’s for other countries with authoritarian systems.” - Beschloss
