        I'm confused by this idea that journalists lack individual agency and are somehow obligated to frantically cover every crazed Trump tweet.

        Agency isn't black-and-white. When your livelihood depends on pageviews you're incentivized to cover what gets clicks.

        What's the logic that means we should take seriously his Flint water promise, but ignore his tweets? How do you decide?

        I have a response to this Q. and you've slightly misrepresented my take, but laying it out in full is ill-suited to Twitter.

        I don't know, I like that "losing-your-citizenship-for-a-year" thing. Like it a lot. Totem or not, some things need to be sacred.

        Perfect article. I actually enjoy reading the reactions, rather than the tweets themselves

        I agree with Trump. TOO many lost their lives fighting for this country, it's an insult to their memory.

        good article, Michael. I agree with all your points. Unfortunately, covering Trump's tweets is good for ratings.
