What is "malignant" about this presidency is that it hits back when the media do hit pieces on him and this has NEVER happened to the media before. They are used to making republicans cower into a fetal position when the media attacks then and not only does it not work with Trump but he puts THEM against the ropes!  The media can dish it out but it can't take it. So now their latest narrative (since the Russian collusion failed them) is to try to convince the country that Trump must be insane. That will fail them too.
