Item: Trump voters don’t have horns

The New Yorker, the go-to survival guide for the liberal establishment, seems deeply perplexed why anyone would support a man who spews out insults against Mexicans, women, Muslims, immigrants and anyone who disagrees with him. So it travels to Grand Junction, Colo. — a rural, Republican stronghold — which might as well be Mars to your average Upper West Sider.

Instead of a “basket of deplor- ables,” reporter Peter Hessler meets pony-tailed hippies, voters of Mexican descent and lots of women who mobilized to support Trump shortly after the “Access Hollywood” story blew up.

Those voters held their noses during some of Trump’s outbursts and bad behavior, but believe he has the “pragmatism of a businessman” to fix the country’s problems, including in their town where big city problems like drugs have crept in.

To paint these voters with the broad brush of racism and ignorance, Hessler admits, is foolish.

“Almost everybody I met in Grand Junction,” the author writes, “seemed more complex, more interesting and more decent than the man who inspires them.”

Time, meanwhile, tells us in breathless, giddy fashion that Trump’s Russian problem has turned a corner with the revelation last week that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer representing the Kremlin’s interests.

“All of Washington has awakened to the fact that the Russia issue has spiraled beyond anyone’s control,” according to Time.

But more than halfway into the report, Time pundits concede that most of the buzzed-about charges against the president like treason, perjury and violations of some 18th-century law called the Logan Act won’t bring down this administration.
