How Trump Gets Away With Neglecting His Job

Jonathan Bernstein: “One of the worst delinquencies of the Donald Trump presidency is Trump’s continuing failure to fill executive branch posts, including important cabinet-level positions.”

“I doubt that many Americans are even aware of it.”

“It’s not that the news media are covering for Trump. It’s just that he’s getting close to a pass on his indifference to governing, and even to the needs of national security, because of what counts as ‘news’ and how the media go about doing their jobs.”
