34. At some point, he will need to move beyond trolling

but this is a very effective starting point. It is actually more about the media than it is about Trump. Each of these posts trolls how the outrageous and childish Trump is, yet the MSM has treated it as it all this is normal.

One hopes that this trolling gives the major media the cover they need to push back on Trump with, "Gavin Newsom has been calling attention to the fact that you _________________________ ." Hopefully, some of them will use that as the motivation to start asking real questions and reporting this corruption and destruction for what it is.
