Well, maybe not. Perhaps he is about to go after the press with all the power he can amass to his new office. Now that he has chosen Breitbart guru Stephen Bannon, who captained his campaign to success, as his new “Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor,” his purpose in continuing to belittle the Times may be clear. That's sad. And dangerous.
Competent U.S. Presidents do their job to the best of their ability, and learn to live with the consequences of a free press. Anything less is petty and annoying. And dangerous. And sad.
Of course, there's also the possibility Mr. Trump chose Bannon because of Breitbart's views on race, nationalism, immigration, etc...because he, our President-elect, approves of those views and hopes to further them and make them mainstream. Now those busy in Trump Tower are scrambling to deny that possibility. The evidence is stacked against them.
Besides, the Klan is celebrating Stephen Bannon being seated at the right hand of Donald the President Almighty, just the way it celebrated Donald Trump's election. Hardly need to have any other reason that they are the wrong choices for America.
A.Word.A. Day’s word for Monday was kakistocracy: "Government by the least qualified or worst persons." Yep, it's one to learn.
