This is the fourth in what has become an expanding series on Donald Trump’s continuing attacks on the rule of law. Those attacks seem to work for him in one respect. Every new one displaces an old one. He’s now relying on “Trump fatigue,” a condition that causes voters to say, essentially, “What stupid thing did he say today?”

Then they discount his offensive, false or incoherent remark du jour. But his comments over time create a more complete picture and, in the case of the military, a recipe for disaster.
