The press seems to have switched from “Trump’s brand of irreverent fascism is so sexy, we love it” to “Trump is a pathetic loser, and we can smell his fear”.
And honestly, I’m ok with that.

That's what it is to swim with sharks and, frankly, I love to see it.
@goatsarah The press operate like sharks smelling blood in the water. I’m not sure I’ve seen definite-enough signs yet but I live in hope. It’s all down to what brings in the most eyeballs and, till now, it has appeared that they think reporting the end of the democracy they depend on is the most profitable move.
The story is whatever fascinates the media, who then become the story and feed the cycle.
It's great that the Harris team has managed to give them a new narrative to be fascinated by. This "happy warrior" story is working to feed the endless loop.
This is the first time the media's fascination with Trump's hold on what used to be considered normal people (which then amplifies the effect) hasn't been the focus of attention since 2019.
