The Three Faces

 

Last night, The Daily Show played clips of failed presidential candidate Donald Trump's slurred and incoherent speech during his conversation with Elon Musk on Twitter. The Washington Post has compiled his most recent list of deranged and outright bizarre claims and lies, his recent "greatest hits" if you will, including:

  1. Kamala Harris' rally crowds "don't exist" and "nobody was there."
  2. Joe Biden planned to have the FBI assassinate Trump
  3. Democrats' messaging is to blame for the assassination attempt against Trump
  4. Biden faked having the covids
  5. He went down in a helicopter with Willie Brown
  6. Biden will try to reclaim the Democratic nomination
  7. Harris only recently identified as "Black"
  8. His Jan. 6 crowd was bigger that MLK's
  9. Other countries are emptying their prisons and sending criminals to the U.S.
  10. Democrats want to allow killing babies after birth 
None of these statements are true - they're all lies. I've heard each one of them before, but it's all the more stunning when they're assembled all together like that. So, one would think, The New York Times must be picking up on this too and reporting on Trump's mental and cognitive decline, right? 

But no, their headline reads, " (VP Candidate Tim) Walz Faces New Scrutiny Over 2020 Riots: Was He Too Slow to Send Troops?" (it was since replaced by the welcome news that "Inflation Falls Below 3% for First Time Since 2021"). But I'm starting to wonder if the online critics are correct, and the Times is in fact effectively becoming the new propaganda outlet for the Trump campaign.

Seriously, though, don't vote for Trump.
