Anybody here remember ANY president under so much scrutiny by the press?
When Bush Jr. became the president he wanted to invade Iraq a second time come hell or high water, reason or not, justified or unjustified. He did, and not only that, he was helped tremendously by the press in succeeding to bring the case to the UN. Of course, Big Oil was behind the oil play.
Trump is a schmuck who isn't getting financed by any Big Anything, hence the media are having a field day. Trumps support is what folks on the left call "grassroots support".
Remember this?
This is ALL the CIA director and the Secretary of State took to the UN council to state their case. The US media's reaction the next day? "Slam Dunk Case". Shut the lights, close the door.
