I sat down to record this and honestly I’m still trying to figure out how we got here with Donald Trump. I’m watching this unfold and I keep thinking this can’t be real, but it is.

At some point I stopped being surprised and started just shaking my head because it feels like every single day he says or does something that pushes this even further into absurd territory.

I’m talking about Donald Trump saying things out loud that would’ve ended anyone else’s political career not that long ago, and now it just passes like it’s nothing.

I hear him speak and half the time it sounds like a parody of a president, except it’s not a joke. It’s actually happening, and I don’t know how anyone’s supposed to process that without feeling like something’s completely off.

What gets to me isn’t just Donald Trump, it’s the reaction to him. Or more accurately, the lack of one. I keep waiting for Republicans to hit a breaking point, to finally say enough, and it just doesn’t happen.

I’m watching this play out in real time and I can’t tell if they’re numb, scared, or just don’t care anymore.

And I keep coming back to the same question about Donald Trump. What actually changes anything anymore? I’m asking that seriously because it feels like the rules don’t apply to him the way they used to apply to anyone else.

Things that should matter don’t seem to matter, and the response is always weaker than it should be.

At some point this stops feeling like politics with Donald Trump and starts feeling like something else entirely. I don’t even know what the right word is for it, but I know it doesn’t feel stable.

It feels like we’re drifting into something that’s harder to recognize, and I don’t think enough people are willing to say that out loud.

So yes, I’m frustrated watching Donald Trump. I’m watching this like everyone else, trying to make sense of it, and I keep landing in the same place.

This isn’t normal, and pretending it is might be the most dangerous part of all.
