One Los Angeles-based anchor called President Trump "the worst ruler in history," skipping supervillains from Hitler and Stalin to Mao and Mussolini. Actual Good News: The media have pressed President Trump hard on the economy, which has always been his ace in the hole. Even The New York Times headlined the good news: "Economy Hits a High Note, and Trump Takes a Bow."You'd almost never know the paper hated Trump so much.
