Trump's comparisons of himself to Obama have grown pathological. @atrupar.com flags Trump obsessing about outdoing Obama's Iran nuclear deal (he won't). He's also been comparing their presidential foundations, too: newrepublic.com/article/2092...

“Deference” implies giving the president the benefit of the doubt. But where there is no doubt, there can be no benefit. Immergut refused to credit assertions with no basis in the record. She didn’t grandstand or sermonize; she simply applied the law to the facts. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

It should be noted that Sesame Street will still air on PBS. The deal indicates that new episodes would air on both Netflix AND PBS on the SAME DAY. Instead of having to rely on donations and federal funding (which PBS has lost, anyway), Netflix has the big bucks, and will produce the show!
