Eventually, Trump's constant threat to shoot the hostages loses its punch

These days, there is just nothing under the sun that President Donald Trump doesn’t see as an opportunity to attack blue cities and states. It’s terrifying and jarring, but it is also beginning to feel kinda rote. He’s a one-trick pony, but for fascism.

But once you’ve deployed your brownshirts on the streets of multiple major American cities, threatening to take away a World Cup match or whatever no longer seems quite so scary.

So, while nine months ago, the specter of Trump saying he would consider relocating World Cup games out of Boston because Mayor Michelle Wu is “radical left” might have seemed like a threat that packed a real wallop, these days, it engenders more of a “what else you got?” kind of response from those Trump is threatening.
