Margaret Sullivan: Trump’s jokes with Putin over eliminating journalists is a betrayal of America. So is ignoring it.

In the past couple of weeks, President Donald Trump has accused the New York Times of "a virtual act of treason" because of an accurate story he didn't like. It reported that the United States "is stepping up digital incursions into Russia's electric power grid."

And he’s been credibly accused of rape by a well-known magazine journalist, to which he responded that it never happened and what’s more, she was “not my type.”

Apparently deadened by the constant barrage of outrages and scandals surrounding him, Congress and many Americans don't seem to care about any of it.
