Trump’s allegations of ‘fake news’ and his attempts to ban legitimate media like any fledgling dictator, shouldn’t be forgotten in the warm afterglow of his first real big boy speech to Congress. Because Trump stuck to the well-written speech on the teleprompter, and actually read the speech beforehand – some tonight gushed over his ‘presidential demeanor!’ Proud papa Paul Ryan aside, some of those who were impressed are victims in Trump’s full-on “Housewives of Atlanta” fight with the press.
Trump needs a smokescreen, and true journalism is inconvenient and dangerous. Add to that, America elected an idiot who believes and disseminates the words of conspiracy theorist and angry weasel Alex Jones. Jones authors fiction which Trump repeats without question. Some of Jone’s work includes; the Pizzagate sex scandal, illegal aliens voting for Clinton, the ‘fake’ California drought, and the claim that Sandyhook was an elaborate scam. Trump’s claim to have seen hordes of Muslims celebrating 9-11 originated with the bomb-thrower, truth-be-damned Jones, who hopes to slither into a White House press position.
The ‘president’ has TRUMP’d the American people. Is it any wonder they’re confused when the U.S. government spreads ‘news’ that’s FAKE and calls the REAL news ‘fake’ and “an enemy of the people.” It’s confusing. Where can people turn, but to their President – and to Facebook!
