Historic in their sense
Hillary isn't a historic first, but a lot of the rank vile shit in this election IS a historic first.

The media are bashing Trump for the HORRIBLE CRIME of OVERRULING HIS STAFF. Some disloyal asshole** leaked a conversation where the idiot establishment tried to push Trump into acting like the idiot establishment. Trump refused and OVERRULED HIS STAFF, deciding to be a sane human instead of an idiot.

CRIME AGAINST NATURE! WAR CRIME! CONVENE THE NUREMBERG TRIBUNAL! AN EXECUTIVE LISTENED TO HIS SUBORDINATES THEN DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE! WORST EVIL CRIME EVER COMMITTED! UNTHINKABLE! THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! UNPRECEDENTED HISTORIC ARROGANCE AND CRIMINALITY! HANG HIM HIGH!

** Whoopsie! Reading this next day (after the first good sleep in several days), I caught myself being team-partisan. Normally I understand that leakers are assholes by definition; normally I consider all leaks to be good things. Need to bop myself upside the head and restore equilibrium.

This leak IS a good thing because it tells us something about Trump's leadership that could be problematic. Overruling subordinates is NOT the problem. That's an everyday part of any enterprise. The problem is the disloyal asshole who knew how the Deep State could use this everyday fact. Trump hasn't yet learned the lesson of Roy Cohn and David Brock. An unorthodox politician needs to be FEROCIOUSLY watchful for Deep State spies and operatives who try to turn his work into shit. This leaker is clearly working for the Deep State, and Trump (or Trump's security types) didn't recognize him and eject him. Could indicate a larger problem with the security types as well. Or even worse, the leak could be intentional by Trump, giving himself an excuse to stop being unorthodox and join the Deep State.

Same as national or industrial spying. We shouldn't blame the spy. He's just doing his job. We need to blame the country or company that ALLOWED the spy to insert himself. We need to ask WHY the spy was allowed.
