RUSH: I think, folks, one addendum to this. I think something is subtly changing in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

My take is that the president himself and others in his administration are surprised to an extent by the constant, never-ending violence and… It\u2019s not even protesting. It\u2019s rioting. And I really believe… Help me rephrase it. I think that Trump really believed that, after he won, that there would be a quieting or a lessening of this rioting and protesting. I really do. I think that he expected not complete, total unity, but I think he expected that people would acknowledge that he won and be realistic about that, and I don\u2019t know if you\u2019d say give him a chance to lay down arms or whatever.<\/p>\n

But I think they were surprised that the intensity of this increased, and now I think they\u2019re starting to get it. I think the Trump administration, maybe the president himself, are starting to understand now the full-fledged nature of the opposition and their motivation and their purposes. And, more importantly, that they are not going away and that they can\u2019t be mollified and that they can\u2019t be reached halfway and that they can\u2019t be compromised with. They have to be defeated. Now, there are numerous pieces scattered throughout the media landscape today, the opinion pieces from some on the left.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a Newsweek story by Michael Wolff<\/a>, a media columnist. He thinks the media is blowing this sky-high. He thinks it\u2019s obvious the media is out to get — and he\u2019s a liberal. He\u2019s a left-wing Drive-Byer. He\u2019s very much alarmed by what he\u2019s seeing. He\u2019s even called out by name Brian Stelter at CNN<\/a>, told him to his face, “You guys are over the top here. You\u2019re hurting journalism. You\u2019ve cast aside any aspect of journalism, and it\u2019s clear that your purpose is to take Trump out. Your purpose is to destroy his presidency.<\/p>\n
