The whole "dancing bear" analogy (which I heard on Keepin' It 1600, the best political podcast with the dreamiest host) is pretty appropriate regarding how the media has been treating Trump any time he doesn't completely fall on his face every moment of the day, so I hope he gets deservedly ripped apart for this performance for at least the rest of the week.
Oh, and the dancing bear thing is basically "if someone has trained a bear to dance, most people are going to be like 'oh wow that is incredible' rather than 'this bear dances like shit' regardless of how poorly said bear actually dances... it could basically be shuffling around and people will still be like 'yeah, that sorta looks like dancing. amazing!'".
