The holiday edition still had to account for the security fallout from a year in which Trump faced repeated threats and one attempted assassination case remained unresolved. That is embarrassing on its own, but it is worse because it suggests the protective and political systems around him were still absorbing shocks after the fact. The consequence is a Trump environment that remains defined by risk instead of control.
