Oops, they did it again.

The White House decision to cooperate with Vanity Fair, giving the magazine exclusive access to top Trump administration figures, is one more example of what happens when you let the legacy media pretend that this time, it’s changed.

That its editors won’t screw you over, its reporters won’t put the worst possible spin on your remarks, its photographers won’t dream of using Photoshop to highlight your every blemish for social-media snipers to spread far and wide.

Why, oh why, does every Republican administration fall in love with the idea of trying to win over the people who hate them?

Beware of writers who act like you’re a friend.

Worry less about the media's reveling and a little more about the spouse's.   In a one minute trailer for Melania, The Movie, FLOTUS corrects the President and appears too busy working --- into the night in NYC --- on important things to pay attention to what the President's doing.

One movie followed by a three part docuseries on the full life of Melania Trump --- Washington, New York and Palm Beach --- will fill the 2026 election year.  I hope the President and other Republicans gird their loins.

WTF were they thinking.

The NY Media is in the pocket of Hillary Clinton.

Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, etc., are all aligned against Trump.
