Trump messed up.
But what gets me is that some of his detractors (those on the radical left) don't seem to realize that they end up distracting the focus from Trump's foul ups with their extreme overreactions to everything he says and does.
When everything he says is basically the most heinous expression ever made and going to lead to the end of the world, then, when he genuinely messes up, it doesn't seem to have as much impact when (according to the left) every single thing he does is an absolute catastrophe. It's kind of another take on the old "boy who cried wolf" scenario.
To wit: after Trump's displays of diplomacy that seemed to show deference to the word of Russia's leader, we now have lawmakers calling him "treasonous," accusing his summit with Russia as being "high crimes and misdemeanors," and actually calling for "military coupes" as if we are some undeveloped banana republic.
These overreactions seem like Trump's "insurance policy" for when he messes up. They distract from whatever he did or said and become new news stories to focus on, in and of themselves.
The triggered leftists and deranged media are the best thing to happen to Trump (and he knows it while they don't seem to). Who knows where he'd be without them?
