My hunch is that Natalie Hart and Donald Trump do not have sex with each other, although she is obviously besotted with him.
Her relationship with Trump may be best understood as her reinforcing the Norman Vincent Peale style "positive thinking" that seems to be so important in shaping Trump's understanding of how the world works.
According to this "positive" outlook, confident, optimistic thinking makes possible the outcome one desires, so the constant stream of affirmation and good news that Hart brings Trump both prompts and confirms speech and action that can often seem disconnected from the real world.
This kind of mind over matter thinking predates Peale , of course; New Thought and Christian Science are but two examples of this recurrent syndrome in US culture.

Although I agree with much of what the author says about Americans' fixation on mental health and the pathologization of ordinary life, his final recommendation reveals a problem in his thinking.
He urges us to find meaning in our lives by being less self involved and more geared to " outward-oriented action...because we feel the most meaningful when we are doing things that provide social significance — a sense that we matter, that we play an important role in other people’s lives."
I'm sure the author is right, but he shows little awareness of how a society that refuses to recognize a collective responsibillity to provide healthcare in an equitable manner, that treats those who work for a living as disposable "human resources", and that continually boosts the cult of individual success - how such a society may well leave so many with a sense that they don't matter, that they don't and can't play an important role in others' lives, and that anything other than the pursuit of narrow self-interest is a game for suckers.
I note that the Archbridge Institute , the thinktank of which the author is COO, ascribes a major role to markets in its promotion of "human flourishing" and hosts a piece touting the Chicago Boys and their " Chilean Miracle" as doubleplusgood.

Why is this desirable or necessary? Are we fresh out of stories to tell? Are the “content creators” in Hollywood so desperate for eyeballs that they’ll vomit up any IP of the past, hoping to exploit nostalgia while delivering another boring ass retelling of a story that somehow evades everything anyone enjoyed about said story?

I can be fairly accused of having made jokes and laughing at other's japes about the Eurovision Song Contest.
But today, as a USian, I must keep my lips sealed in response to anything people in Europe or the rest of the world might have to say about Sunday's abomination on the White House lawn.
USians can look forward now -- I fully expect -- to Trump monetizing his presidency with live broadcasts of him posting on social media while seated on a toilet.
His followers would lap it up.
And he'd laugh all the way to the bank.

What Bari Weiss is doing to CBS in general and 60 Minutes in particular is an unforgivable attack on the freedom of US television news.
Less serious, but significant nonetheless, is the harm Weiss has wreaked on attempts by some US liberals to question groupthink in some quarters of academia, the media, and the nonprofit sector.
By her using the pose of a "radical centrist" questioning "woke orthodoxy" to strengthen right wing power in education and the media, she has made honest and productive debate about conformity and freedom of expression even more difficult than it already was.
I cannot abide her bad faith posturing!

I have no plans to watch "Dutton Ranch", but I am going to resist the urge to be dismissive.
Part of the challenge of progressive politics in the USA lies in learning how to communicate with the culturally conservative with neither condescension nor compromise of core values.
