A decade ago, the start of the Trump era

Byron York, Washington Examiner

The experience of 2015-16 should have made Trump’s media adversaries a little more

circumspect in their pronouncements. It didn’t. Instead, their early mocking of Trump led to years of full-scale rhetorical combat between the new president and the journalists who covered him. Now, some in the media are trying to suppress their instinct to engage in battle with Trump and instead understand what he is doing and what his supporters think about it. For many, it is still a very, very difficult task. But it is the right thing to do.
