ANN ALTHOUSE ECHOES SCOTT ADAMS: The “stable genius” stomps all over the Trump-is-stupid-and-crazy narrative by running a meeting in front of the cameras. “Look at him, with members of Congress arrayed around him at that table. The news media had to keep the cameras running live. After spending the last week promoting the theory that he’s stupid and crazy, the media look stupid and crazy, as he’s clearly in command, speaking coherently, behaving competently, and getting full respect from the members of Congress. This really was a perfect response the barrage of criticism that bounced off Michael Wolff’s convenient-but-fake book.” It’s like the whole thing was a setup that conveniently got rid of Bannon and enriched a guy (Wolff) that Trump is friendly with.
