Big shots

We are all familiar with a case where some big shot is pulled over and says to the cop, don’t you know who I am. I see something similar happening with the national press. Throughout my life presidential candidates have always acted one way while campaigning and another way while governing and the press fully expected Trump to follow that pattern. Now the press expresses surprise when Trump does not change the way they expected, that he does not act as they say, “more presidential”. They are in a dither over this and I can understand that because they have spent their lives studying politicians and consider themselves the experts in this field and now their knowledge seems inadequate to explain the Trump phenomenon. One of the main things they cannot understand is Trumps propensity to tweet and here is where I see them acting like the fore mentioned big shot. They say that he tweets because it drives them nuts and his voters like it. Their conclusion is, doesn’t he know who we are!
