The rending of hair and gnashing of teeth from those who despise Donald Trump continues inside the Beltway and across the country two weeks after his election to a second presidential term. This week, the less-than-dapper Don continues to nominate members of his Cabinet in a seemingly unending cavalcade of circus performers and reality television stars.
Meanwhile the White House Correspondents Association is trying to negotiate a deal to provide a reporting pool to cover the president-elect while previously critical news organizations rush to fellate him with the same enthusiasm one would give to a worm-ridden corpse. It’s perfunctory but it is less than joyful to behold.
