Today In Fake News

The New York Times is at it again today.  The Monday edition of the paper has a story at the top of the front page that announces that because of President Trump's "rocky" start, he is losing his influence across Washington.

Let's stop there.  One might validly ask, what "rocky" start?  Did the Times think that the music for the first dance at the Inaugural Ball was a poor choice?  Did the Times not like the First Lady's gown?  Is the Times claiming that the executive order stopping new regulations until they are reviewed by the White House is a "rocky" start?  It's identical to the order issued by Obama.  Is the problem that only two cabinet appointments were approved on Friday with more to come today?  What is "rocky"?

The truth is that this is a phony narrative that the Times is putting forward as part of its wishful thinking campaign.  There is no sense to it except in the world of fake news put out to encourage the Democrat base to have hope.  In a week, however, there really will be things that have happened.  By that time, the current Times narrative will be just a memory.

It does not serve the best interests of the nation for the Times to just stick with fake news.

They ought to be writing about the enviromentally sensitive protestors in Washington who left 10's of THOUSANDS of their protest signs strewn all over the Washington Streets,
So much for them caring about The Environment, " Let the Goverment clean up OUR MESS" That's what they said by their actions, their words are meaningless!!!
Just like the OBAMA Legacy that drew a line in the sand in Syria with IDLE THREATS and allowed ASSAD to Chemically Kill Syrian Citizens by the THOUSANDS. OBAMA was a TRUE CHICKEN!!!
