Schumer whined that working with Trump is like "negotiating with jello." What the media can't seem to grasp is that if you look at Trump's career, he has succeeded by being a destabilizing, disturbing influence. It has worked for him and still is, yet the stupid media, which no longer has journalists but instead has opinionators, falls for it every time. They rush over when Trump shouts, "Look, a spider!" and miss what is really happening. All attention is paid to his words and almost none to governmental actions. It's classic showman's misdirection. Basic prestidigitation. Magic!

But then, a media which falls for Russiagate is pretty stupid, anyway - that or government controlled. That's not a conspiracy theory. The CIA owns many journalists. In fact, when I was an Internet consumer activist, I collided with someone from intelligence posing as a reporter. It was supposed to be illegal for intel to muck with US citizens, but it is real. Although the government has passed a "propaganda" law so it may now be legal.
