    Reporting on what Trump says at this point is akin to trolling. We have years of evidence that what happens is maybe 20% of what he says. Breathlessly reporting everything he says is crying wolf.

    What should be done is reporting on the common themes instead of quotes. Trump isn’t going to deport illegal immigrants to the moon, but he likely would try to deport even more than in the past. He’s not going to disappear Biden onto some prison, but he might force a pointless investigation into criminal charges.
