      1. I watched Trump's full comments today at the CIA. You should, too.

      3. His attacks on the media were truly concerning. That's an area where I agree with his critics.

      4. But I think a lot of the criticism is overwrought. He does shtick. It's humorous. A lot of Americans find it charming.

      5. Most of the media (& almost all of the Left) doesn't get this. They end up looking like scolds. Beware "Trump Derangement Syndrome"...

          6. Trump made some valid points. Other parts were jokes. Many Americans will love it. For their own good, critics & observers must get this.

          this is his personality, and because it's not a put-on, he would be disingenuous to act otherwise. He's not the 1st.

          disingenuous to expect an adult to recognize the immense responsibility of choosing one's words carefully?

          This is the dichotomy they'd like, yes. But what's the fun schticky way to report on, say, POTUS suggesting we steal Iraqi oil?

          I think the best way to undermine legitimate concerns is to reflexively oppose & unfairly scold. I fear that's happening.

          it plays into stereotype that many Americans have that says the media is biased -- & perception that it is impotent.

          You lauded "tradition" and "Burkean conservatism" in book. Doing shtick in front of CIA memorial wall is not that. Just sayin'.
