Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic, spoke about the issues with how the media covers Trump and his incoherent ramblings. He stated that there was a normalcy bias that led to the media trying to find the one nugget of policy from Trump's speeches and covering that instead of presenting the full and incoherent reality.

Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic, spoke about the issues with how the media covers Trump and his incoherent ramblings. He stated that there was a normalcy bias that led to the media trying to find the one nugget of policy from Trump's speeches and covering that instead of presenting the full and incoherent reality.
I'm not a psychiatrist and I'm not diagnosing Trump with anything. I am, however, a man who has lived on this earth for more than 60 years. And I know someone who has serious emotional problems when I see them played out in front of me over and over. The 45th president is a disturbed person. He cannot be trusted with any position of responsibility and especially not with a nuclear arsenal of more than 1500 weapons. One wrong move could lead to global incineration.
I think the lead, you know, the real headline for that day is former commander in chief goes on mystifying rants about dying from sharks and electrocution.
This is really the problem with covering Trump in excerpts rather than just turning on the camera, showing people and letting him rip.
Even with that whole shark digression, a lot of the printed excerpts from it, including mine, because, you know, you just run out of space, only had little bits from it.
And I think, you know, you need to put it out there in a full paragraph and say, look, just read this and tell me if this is a person who ought to have control of nuclear weapons. This is a person probably shouldn't have control, you know, of car keys. And we just don't do that.
