To the editor:
If there is anything President Trump has been able to successfully do since the day he announced his candidacy, it is his ability to get the press to chase the next shiny thing.
That is exactly what he’s doing with his suggestion of overriding the 14th Amendment with an executive order, denying citizenship to those born in this country, including the children of people here without authorization.
He knows he can’t do it, but it’s red meat for his base and a distraction to the rest of us, especially the press. Yes, he’s the president, but the biggest favor the press can do for this country is to take away his oxygen.
In other words, don’t cover the stupid stuff.

Note from KBJ: Hey, Tim. I'll bet you thought Trump couldn't ban immigrants from certain countries. Remember all the law professors you had lined up, who said that Trump would lose in the Supreme Court? What did the Supreme Court say? I hope you rely again on your left-wing law professors.
