The president’s constant refrain is to call the media the enemy of the people (“At the White House, Trump meets, berates the press,” Page A2, Nov. 8). And yet the media continue to play along. It is time for the Fourth Estate to wake up to this new abnormal.
Here is a crazy idea: Don’t cover him. Of course, keep covering what he and his administration are doing, but just stop showing up for the daily press briefings, and move on to other news items. It is a good bet that most people do not need yet another story about Donald Trump to confirm that this presidency is a train wreck. The media are treating this like a reality show. They should stop playing into Trump’s hands.

Note from KBJ: Sorry, Tim. Donald Trump is doing exactly what we elected him to do, namely, make America great again.
