Trump's opponents have become fools

Let's start with three inappropriate views based on the dozens of conversations in Washington during the past year:

First, people who go to the White House to meet with President Trump usually turn out to be pleasantly surprised. They realize that Trump is not as twisted as he was expected, given what he writes on Twitter or how the media portrays him. Generally, they say he is close and loving, but repeated. He holds normal and good meetings and seems well-informed to succeed.

Second, people who work in the Trump administration have brutal diplomatic views about their boss. Some believe that he is a foolish child, as Michael Wolff describes [the translator: author of the book that caused the fuss these days]. Others, however, feel that he is simply an insane person who can be worked on. Others believe that he is strange but not impossible. Some can honestly admire Trump. And most of them filter his crazy stuff and pretend they don't even exist.

My impression is that the Trump administration is an unhappy place of work, because there is a lot of internal warfare and often there is no guidance from the top. But this is not an administration filled with people seeking to involve the 25th Constitution [Sen.i.i. translators: XXV administration of the Constitution of the United States deals with the continuation of the presidency and the implementation of procedures for both, filling the gap in the vice office of the president and in responding to presidential disabilities].

Third, the White House is becoming more professional. Imagine if Trump didn't make his own sweets famous. The madness of the past few weeks would have been put aside, and we would have seen the White House actively attempting to achieve its goals: returning to policies for Pakistan, returning to offshop policies, meeting policies for ISIS, nominating justice and forming policies for infrastructure, DACA, North Korea and Trade.

It's like two white houses. It's the Potemkin White House, which we tend to deal with: An angry TV trumpet, lawyers working on Russian investigation and press operations. And it's the invisible White House you never hear of, which is becoming increasingly effective in running affairs with a distracted boss.

Sometimes I wonder if the invisible White House has learned to use the Potemkin White House to deceive us until it changes the country.

I'm mentioning these inappropriate looks because the anti-Trump movement, which I proudly participate in, seems to be getting more silent. It seems that it has fallen into self - indulgence, a fairy tale of reality that it puts out, filters, unacceptable information. Many anti-Trumpists seem to be telling themselves the narrative of King George”'s madness: The Trump is a crazy semi-alandphabet surrounded by flatterers who are morally, intellectually and psychologically inferior to people like us.

I like to think it's possible to insist on anti-Trump while not reducing everything to a fairy tale.

The anti-Trump movement suffers from narrowness. Most people who hate Trump don't know anybody who works with him or who supports him. And if they have friends or family members who admire Trump, they learn not to talk about it. So they get all the information about Trumpism from others who also hate it or are disgusted by the trumpet, which is always a recipe for an epistemic mesh. [The translators: for conclusion of the mind].

The movement also suffers from lowrow-ism [shin.i: evowbrow] are called people who are not very intellectually or highly educated. The modern Lowrow man [Sean Hannity or Dinesh DéSouz] ignores normal journalistic or intellectual standards. It creates a style of communication that does not make you think more; it makes you think and notice less. It offers a steady diet of affirmation, focuses on simple issues that require a small background of information, and makes viewers or readers dependent on daily doses of a just abomination and a pleasant legalization.

We anti-Trumpists have our lowrow-ism, too, mostly in late-night TV shows. But anti-Trump slowdownism erupted, flourished and was met with the book recently published by Wolff.

Wolfe doesn't want to adhere to normal journalistic standards. He's happy to admit that if you're just saying rumors that are too good to verify. As Charlie Warzel wrote in BuzzFed, “For Wolff's book, the truth seems like a secondary thing about what really matters: engagement. ”

The effort of lowbow is not to challenge you, teach you something or make you grasp the conditions of reality; it's to make you feel the urge to distribute what it says in social media.

In any war, nations come like their enemies, so I suppose it's normal that the anti-Trump movement has begun to resemble the pro-Trump movement. But that's not good. I've noticed many young people watching the daily monotonous hysteria of us anti-Trumpists and calling it stupid.

This isn't just a problem involving the president. This is a mess about the rules they're gonna play with after Trump. Aren't we all constantly going down to Trump standards?

Or will we bring the difference between excellence and medicine, truth and falsehood? Will we not insist on the difference between a true expert and a rage with inaccurate information? Will we counter the differences between these institutions as the Congress Budget Office that operates with professional standards and speak with legitimate authority, unlike the mills and propaganda they cannot do?

There are hierarchies in every sphere. There's a huge difference between William Buckley and Sean Hannity, between the rapporteurs of this newspaper and the rumor distributors. Part of this problem is to maintain and maintain these differences, not contribute to their destruction.
