This morning I wrote about the disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico and how the media and the Democrats are beginning to attack President Trump for the unavoidably slow pace of recovery of the island. This afternoon, the attack mode against Trump has moved to an amazing one for the media: they are now criticizing Trump for not tweeting enough about Puerto Rico. I know it sounds bizarre, but the same media and left wing politicians who criticize Trump non-stop for tweeting too much have switched to criticism that he has tweeted too little. On Yahoo News, they have even published a report counting how many tweets Trump sent out since the hurricane hit Puerto Rico and how many dealt with that disaster.
These types of articles make me wonder whether or not the media has anything better to do. Rather than covering the NFL and the number of Trump's tweets on Puerto Rico, they could be telling us the details of the tax reform plan or the latest version of the healthcare bills. Alternatively, they could report on the results of the Kurdish independence referendum. We could even get to hear about the results of the German election and the effect those results will have on our relations with that country. But nope, we get tweet counters instead of reporters.
