There is a recent story I have refused to include in the Headlines posts here. And that concerns Trump’s assertion that hurricane Dorian once may have been threatening Alabama. This Trump Tweet was based on early cone path projections of this storm crossing over Florida and into the Golf of Mexico. Of course, if this happened, Alabama could be in its eventual path ... see: NBC News Story.
The media bias quickly kicked in and Trump was pilloried for this possible off-base prognostication ... which then spawned a firestorm of debate inside and outside of government ... mostly non-stories. I paid no attention because this fake news was, to me, fake news. It was one more attempt to paint Trump with some more slime. Does the media not see how obvious they are with all this silliness. A tempest in a teapot does not adequately describe the magnification of this puny issue into many headline grabbers ... all of which I have rightfully ignored.
I think this non-story deserves an even-better analogy ... how about ‘a fart in Dorian’s eye-wall.’
Initially, I agreed that it was a non-story. Then Trump tweeted 15 times on the matter. And Wilbur Ross threatened the jobs of senior NOAA staffers not to contradict the President, (despite it being a crime to issue a fake weather report).
ReplyDeleteThen, Trump displayed acute mental symptoms talking about Melania's child and vaping. I tell you, I'm scared to think about Trumps next fabricated tempest
And then a never-Trumper wrote a 5-line comment on this non-story ...
ReplyDeleteA pithy comment! The real story is that Trump is more unhinged every day. Scary!
