The pattern of the Trump administration is
evolving, despite many perturbations, toward a more conventional
relationship with the press and the country. I was taken gently to task
last week by my colleague Jonah Goldberg for applying “Never Trumper”
as an umbrella for all those who would rather endure horrible personal
fates than suffer the president to complete his term — rather than, as
it apparently means, just Republicans of that view. I was merely being
fashionably inclusive, but I repent my heresy and will henceforth refer
to vehemently anti-Trump Democrats as the Resistance (though I consider
the demarcation otiose).
Both groups seem to have given up finally on any serious allegation
against the president arising from his relations with Russia, and their
flirtation with the 25th Amendment (removal by vote of the cabinet and
two-thirds of the Congress for mental or physical incapacity) seems also
to have flickered away to the dustbin for hair-raisingly absurd ideas,
such as the national television campaign in November to persuade a
handful of members of the Electoral College to break their pledges to
vote for Trump after he had won the election.
