The Atlantic: Donald Trump paying hush money to win an election 'is actually quite bad'

First things first: We don’t want to hear one word about Donald Trump’s “conspiracy” to hide potentially damaging information to aid his presidential campaign unless we’re going to talk about 1) the Hillary Clinton campaign paying an ex-spy to put together a completely fictional dossier of opposition research, and 2) the government and social media working in tandem to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story as “Russian disinformation.” Compared to those, paying hush money to Stormy Daniels is nothing.

The Atlantic has a piece out today trying to convince us that, even though the legal merits of the case against Trump are shaky, paying hush money to help your campaign is “actually quite bad.”

We shouldn’t lose sight of how disturbing it was. Yeah, we honestly didn’t care.

Quinta Jurecic writes:

It is inarguably true that the 2016 hush-money payments do not cut to the heart of the crises facing American democracy in the same way that the several other ongoing investigations into Trump do.

This is, by now, a familiar portrait: a candidate, and then a president, obsessed with gaining and holding on to power at all costs, without any care for or comprehension of his obligations to the public, nor any commitment to play by the rules that bind everyone else. Such conduct speaks directly to Trump’s unfitness for office and inability to conceptualize anything outside of himself. I would not, personally, rank it as worse than seeking to overturn the results of a lawful election or attempting a coup. But it is disturbing all the same.

Most of the lengthy piece actually breaks down how weak Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s care really is. But we should still care.

It’s pretty telling that The Atlantic feels the need, after Bragg’s press conference, to explain how the whole circus is “actually quite bad.” Not just bad, but actually quite bad.
