President Biden harrumphed upon being asked about Donald Trump. “I’m tired of talking about Donald Trump. I don’t want to talk about him anymore,” the president said. Not a surprise. Impeachment wasn’t even that popular. Senator Schumer declined the chance to have witnesses and extend the trial. So much the better for Biden and his agenda. But Biden doesn’t drive the clicks.

Luckily, Donald Trump has broken his post-election silence. And the most relieved constituency in America should be the liberal media.
