All those who are justifiably outraged by Trump's antics, his racist behavior, his lying, his narcissism, his treating of the most important job in the country a if it were his reality TV program - all of which we knew was coming - have yet to find the appropriate and effective way of dealing with his nonsense. My suggestion is "gently patronize".
His behavior is childish, a school yard bully who still sulks and throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. So the media and the Democrats need to treat it accordingly: smile and calmly point out his lies; remain adult when he behaves like a child; shake their heads sadly at his delusions and explain the reality of the situation; offer sympathy at how misguided he is; model adult behavior rather than responding in kind. The country needs to see that the alternative to a spoiled child in the White House is a grown-up.
It's been 30 months since he took office, and four years since he announced. Granted no one took him seriously before, but for his opponents, it's past time to get it together.
