This is pretty much the definition of populism.

The astonishing lack of any positive vision of political or cultural life. Trump’s America is just one unceasing expression of contempt.

I had a similar thought when I was listening to Bondi speak about how many hundreds of millions of lives Trump saved in the last 100 days, it was almost like she was yelling at the press out of hatred. Reminded me a bit of Spicer's first press conference defending the crowd size.
