Trump's first term teemed with moments that Trump did the right thing (they were rare, but, y'know, the broken clock rule) and left-wing pundits would say yeah, it's good that Trump did that.
Then he'd tweet something obnoxious about it. Or when he was thrown off Twitter, would Truth his obnoxious commentary. Sometimes it was about him taking credit, or regretting that he had to do that thing, or walking back is rational statements in favor of irrational ones.
But there were a lot of pundits who believed principle over loyalty, and would give Trump credit when it was due.
I think "teemed with" suggests that it was "overflowing with". Which is like the opposite of "rare".
True. I was saying that the pundits teemed with praise for Trump, not that Trump's positive acts teemed themselves.
I could totally have worded it better.
