Caren,

Like Putin, Trump is a bully, if not a thug.

His behavior, unopposed, encourages more of the same. Pushing back is essential, especially for those with weight to do so. The accommodations made by ABC and Disney look disappointing and unhelpful.

Lost popularity, position, and money are risks, but generally short-term compared with those accompanying appeasement and capitulation.

We must be more accurate with our words than Stephanopoulos, which can only strengthen our reporting and comment.

Best.
