The press seems to have switched from “Trump’s brand of irreverent fascism is so sexy, we love it” to “Trump is a pathetic loser, and we can smell his fear”.

@goatsarah ultimately they want to be seen to back the winner and give the impression they were why the winner won. We see this in the UK media when the Murdoch press switch to backing labour when it’s obvious they’re going to win anyway so they can say “it was the Sun wot won it”. Leadership as the art of spotting which way everyone is running and getting out in front.
