What makes it work best though is a press that won't challenge authority. One that allows tRump to lie about WikiLeaks. They have already let it drop that he loved WikiLeaks 141 times in 2016 and now doesn't know anything about WikiLeaks. That is absolutely amazing. If the press won't call him out for lying, the least they can do is require he be removed from office because he is mentally unfit to serve. No one can forget mentioning WikiLeaks 141 times only 2 and a half years previous and forget them. He must be suffering dementia. He must be removed from office if he truly knows nothing about WikiLeaks.
