"Sanewashing is a word that had to be invented to describe how the more strait-laced media outlets were covering the speeches and tweets and other outpourings of Donald Trump."
"Typically, it might involve him addressing some MAGA rally in a deranged fashion, making all sorts of abusive statements about the many people he hates, in a wildly incoherent style."
"If you were to look at it written down, you would conclude it was probably time that the speaker was committed to a secure institution."
Sanewashing refers to the media's approach to covering Donald Trump's speeches and tweets, particularly during MAGA rallies. His statements often include abusive language and a disjointed style that, if read in written form, would suggest a need for mental health intervention. This term encapsulates the contrast between the serious nature of his rhetoric and the media's portrayal of it, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
