At best, this make it looks like sama is talking without considering his words carefully.
At worst, it confirms many people's fears of how those in Silicon Valley view the world.

(You misleadingly edited your comment after I wrote my response. I would not agree that I have a visceral distaste of anything conservative. In fact, I think that's an accusation more accurately leveled against Donald Trump.)
Then it might be a good idea to cool down before engaging in comment.
Sam is providing a different perspective for looking at Trump's presidency, which he's made it clear he's not happy with.
That to me is an incredibly admirable action, and one which we could all benefit from trying out a little more often.
Doesn't mean anyone is endorsing anything. It's just a different look.
Those quotes might be reasonable on the context of an essay by Sam aimed at providing a "different perspective on Trump's presidency" (though Sam's own comments here suggest to that they wouldn't be much better in that context, but that's another discussion.)
In the actual context they appear, they are normalizing of Trump a d suggest, at best, an extraordinarily naive approach to the media in his position.
Gut feelings are not always the best feelings.
