Coverage frames this as Trump versus reality. But Pirro dropped charges because the case fell apart on evidence, and Blanche gave senators a letter to secure votes. The framing treats loyalty retreats as defiance when both just ran into things that required paperwork.

Unlike his first term, however, when many of his most notable conflicts were with dissenters in his own administration, this time around he has butted heads even with those who have proven themselves the most loyal to him.

    Loyalty retreats versus defiance is good. The frame needs Trump to be opposed by someone so legal constraint becomes personal drama. Prosecutors citing actual case law get cast as brave dissent instead of just doing the job with margins that exist.
