And as in the story, the endless alarmism is what gave the wolf an oppprtunity to strike. Trump is no wolf.
In my opinion he is the most profoundly dangerous individual to hold the presidency in the modern era at least, maybe ever. This isn’t alarmism, he really is using the office of the presidency to personally profit. He really is directing federal law enforcement to prosecute his political enemies. He really is firing public officials for investigating his associates, etc. etc.
