It's not an accident that Trump's attention span lasts exactly one news
cycle. He's exactly like the rest of America, except that he's making news,
not following it – starring on TV instead of watching it. Just like we
channel-surf, he focuses as long as he can on whatever mess he's in, and
then he moves on to the next bad idea or incorrect memory that pops into
his head.

Lots of people have remarked on the irony of this absurd caricature of a
spoiled rich kid connecting so well with working-class America. But Trump
does have something very much in common with everybody else. He watches TV.
That's his primary experience with reality, and just like most of his
voters, he doesn't realize that it's a distorted picture.
