    We consistently attribute too much meaning to things to do with Trump.

        Say that to the countless intelligence officers whose jobs he just directly obstructed.

        We look for reasons behind his election and strategies behind his actions, when the answers are probably fluke and impulse respectively.

        Seeing more pattern than exists is an innate human flaw, but the Trump presidency really brings it out.

        Instead of meaning, I would say intent. Meaning implies impact, of which there is plenty.

        Intent would be good when talking about his actions but I need a broader term if I want to include his election too.

        I've always thought he was an illiterate, unintelligent, bumbling mess. He's proven it to be true time and time again.

        When he uses the IRS to audit all liberal entities like Obama did with the Conservatives then you can worry! Until then its just fake news!

        I think we have to NOT normalize an assault on wmn, POC, immigrants & the cozy relationship w/ a hostile govt. None of it is normal!

        His strategy to morally exhaust us who don't eat his BS so he can do anything unchecked. Sharing intel w/ Isis via Russia is NEVER ok
