Trump just isn't that mean

Trump just isn't that mean: It seems that all I’ve been doing lately is fielding pieces apologizing for Donald Trump’s personality. You know, the “mean tweets,” the aggressive remarks, the unwillingness to back down before a hostile establishment.

I’m sure that these writers mean well. (As opposed to those “conservative” writers who think that this is the right time to openly attack Trump for perceived personal and political failings, most of which exist only in the dark recesses of the writer’s brain.) All the same, it’s still a blunder in that it plays directly into the media’s narrative of Trump as a brutal, incorrigible thug.
