Jay Rosen: A few notes on unbuilding a key part of the presidency

February 19, 2017 by Michael Boyle

This is an important piece on the new reality from media thinker extraordinaire Jay Rosen:

Trump is thus revising the Presidency before our eyes. In his grip, it no longer attempts to muffle anxiety about the President and make people around the world feel okay about granting one person such enormous, unthinkable and inhuman powers. Instead, a new model is proposed: the president keeps everyone in a constant state of excitement and alarm. He moves fast and breaks things. He leads by causing commotion.
