it's, as usual, all at the feet of the media, who are treating Trump almost the same as they treated Reagan, the difference being that he's playing them much more effectively than did Reagan.

ever read On Bended Knee, the analysis of how/why the press caved in for Reagan, and how they protected him, essentially, during the 84 campaign, and almost completely ignored Iran Contra and the other scandals that plagued his venal administration, while he slept and watched tv through most of his 2d term.
