I don’t know what they see. I get the irony, but really, this is just non-story. That’s the problem. Bang, bang, bang, beat the trite drum.
I get it, he’s vain, a bully, fake newsies and for ___ sake can someone on his staff please slap the twitter feed out of his hand.
The media is harping on it, all the left leaning facebook groups and jumping and howling, but it’s just trite crap.
Yes, IMO he’s shaping up to be a miserable President and even worse representation of humanity, but frankly the way his opponents behave is leaving little assurance that they’ll be any better other than they won’t be a 70+ year old apparent bigot. It’d just be a different more PC tyranny.[/quote]
First of all, to say that it’s a non-story is to be willing to ignore further evidence that our president has flawed character, and to be willing to overlook his astounding hypocrisy. That kind of willful ignorance belongs in North Korea. Is it the scandal of the century? No. Is it a story? Of course it is.
But there’s also this: Left-leaning facebook groups are jumping and howling. Not the NYT or WAPO. They reported it in a straightforward manner, and WAPO connected it to President Dunning-Kruger’s long-established pattern of exaggerating his own merits. If Clinton were president and she pulled this stunt, it would be fox propaganda that would be jumping and howling. It would be the scandal of the century. And they sure as hell wouldn’t have ended their article with this, as they did with their article on president dipshit:
Ironically, though, Donald Trump has appeared on 14 bona fide Time magazine covers since 1989.
People think that fox propaganda is news. That’s the problem. That’s how we ended up with president snowflake, crying every time somebody tells the truth about him. And that’s how we’re going to end up poorer, sicker, weaker, and with less standing in the world. People believing the bullshit they hear on fox propaganda and voting based on what they’ve been manipulated and disinformed to believe.
