The Press Falls for Trump Every Time

 The press falls for Trump every time. We keep on giving him oxygen to feed his vileness, like Lesley Stahl just did with Marjorie Taylor Greene on "60 Minutes."

This month we acknowledge the 30th anniversary of the Branch Davidian siege at Waco that helped spawn  the rise of militias, strengthened the NRA and gave birth to the fear of the "deep state." Trump is celebrating it because he knows who his core supporters are — the same people who venerate the Branch Davidians.

The key to understanding Trump and the press lies in Trump's affinity with Waco.
