    That’s completely missing the point. The point is the press has been talking like this since 2015. They have given him every avenue to just pretend this is how things work. It has only gotten to this point due to this kind of waffling bullshit not willing to call a spade a spade.

    It’s not about the fact that no one is going to stop him, we haven’t even had a press that’s been willing to point out that he doesn’t have these powers for almost ten fucking years now.
