I disagree. I think if the other family had won and presented as disastrous a first 100 days they'd have ripped them to shreds. had either side won and presented as ill-quipped, uneducated, inconsistent and incompetent a face to the watching world, they'd have ripped them to shreds.
Bush was bad, at times, in the face he showed to the camera, and the people he surrounded himself with seemed dangerous and far more powerful than the president himself, but this administration?... is a car crash. The president is tweeting random declarations of policy and intent, accusation and proffered proof based on the rantings of tv conspiracy theorists. Watching his people try to explain his thought process to the world is painful.
And that's before any mention of the Russia thing. Or the trampling all over historic ties of diplomacy and friendship with other nations. Random fucking sideswipes, like the refusal to shake Merkel's hand.
I'd say keep that light shining right onto the political shenanigans - and mock it to within an inch of its life, it deserves nothing more til the administration demonstrates at least some capacity for rational policy making and political competency.
I think it is absolutely the job of comedians and late night hosts to focus their comedy on the comedy of errors currently in effect in Washington.
