Even n p r dutifully reported that trump would have to drain the reflecting pool. And five people have been arrested for destruction of public property.

No notion that the arrests were questionable. They know how it sounds.

The media is in on it. They don't want to make the same mistake they made.When they tried the coup against roosevelt.
