7. We should assume YES unless proven otherwise. When will

media start assuming that WH statements are lies given that they lie at a rate of 8x per day?

When will media assume that Trump words and deeds are purely self-serving unless otherwise proven, given...his entire life to date?

When will media assume that Trump's governing actions are not carefully considered, based on fact, resulting from thoughtful research, or in our best interests...given that he can't read, is incurious, is epically ignorant, doesn't want to hear bad news, doesn't staff any number of important official positions in government, listens to FOX, and is disinterested in facts?

When will the media assume that the WORST interpretation of their motives is true, given ALL observations to date after riding down the Trump Tower escalator?

The starting observation of any discussion of Trump's motives and actions should be that we are suspicious, scared, worried, distrustful, and angry. The fact that media spends time analyzing, dissecting, parsing his actions and words as though they come from someone normal should be worrisome to us all.
