The media hasn't learned a damn thing.
After Donald Trump’s bombing of Syria, Fareed Zakaria said: He became the President of the United States. This immediately reminded me when Zakaria described Trump as the ultimate bullsh**ter. His rant was epic and spot on. So a few missiles launched, that missed their target and that immediately changes Fareed’s mind about Trump.
The short memory span is very evident here and in the media. So my question is: How does Fareed Zakaria go from excoriating Donald Trump as a world class bull-sh*tter, to saying he became President after launching a few missiles?
The media never learns. Trump hasn't changed from the bullsh*tter Zarakria described. What’s disappointing here is, Zakaria will change his tune once again.
In the meantime, what he and many in the media do is continue to enable Trump.

"He has spent his whole life bulls**tting," Zakaria said. "He has succeeded by bulls**tting. He has gotten the presidency by bulls**tting. It's very hard to tell somebody at that point that bulls**t doesn't work. Because look at the results. He sees something, he doesn't particularly care if it's true or not, he just put it out there."
