View original postand he doesn't care what conventional wisdom and practice dictate. As long as the media continues to judge him on how he measures up to the expectation of how a President is supposed to act, they will be disappointed but his supporters will be elated.

Republicans used to have quite a number of principles and standards. Now, it seems they, or at least the Trump fanboys among them, have just one: anything that annoys the liberal establishment is good. And nothing else matters. Hence the adoration for Trump without the least interest in whether he achieves anything of substance - he's a great president because he's truly without peer when it comes to annoying the liberal establishment. And hence the new criteria for Republican primaries: what matters is if the candidate praised and imitated Trump enough. I never thought I'd be sad to see the back of Mark Sanford, but at least the guy had a spine.
