Yesterday, the NY Times reported that eight months ago, President Trump discussed with the White House Counsel that he wanted Robert Mueller fired. The Times also reports that the White House Counsel talked the President out of taking that action. The story is based upon anonymous sources, although it seems pretty clear that the source is not President Trump, and it is extremely unlikely that the White House Counsel would violate the attorney-client privilege and repeat discussions with his client. Indeed, it is most likely that the story is false, just like much of the Fake News that we've seen over the last year. President Trump has already denied that the story is true.
It doesn't matter for the media. This morning, the anti-Trump pundits are "explaining" what this episode means for Trump. The anti-Trump Democrats (okay all the Democrats) are denouncing this event as a threat to the Republic. We are in full bash the President mode. It's a major effort to change the subject from all the good news for Trump and the GOP that came forward recently.
It's truly obscene to watch the media and the Democrats go off this way. I don't mind if they criticize Trump; that's their right. I do mind when they start with a story that is most likely false and then push it as if it were not only true but important as well. They know that the story is neither. After all, suppose that President Trump and his military advisers have discussed a nuclear pre-emptive strike on North Korea. In fact, I doubt that is much of a stretch; it is more likely a fact. It doesn't mean that a nuclear strike either happened or is imminent. Discussion of something is not the same as doing what is discussed. Mueller is still on the job; he wasn't fired. No matter how many times the morons like senator Blumenthal of Connecticut talk about how the White House is imminently going to interfere with Mueller, there is still not one iota of evidence that there has been any interference. What matters is actions, not what is discussed.
In November and December of last year, the Democrats and the media convinced the nation that only the rich and big companies would get tax cuts and that the poor and middle class would pay for those cuts. It was a lie, and the Dems and media knew it was a lie. Now that the tax cut is law, there are going to be major cuts for about 80% of all Americans with the biggest percentage going to the middle class. Polling this week shows that the American people are starting to realize that what the Dems and the media said was a lie, but there is still a slight majority of all Americans who think (wrongly) that they won't get a tax cut. Pushing lies like this has become the new standard method of Democrat politics and media "reporting". It's dangerous and disgusting. Hopefully, the American people will see through it and reject the purveyors of this BS.
