In What World Are They Living?

Yahoo News is running a story at the moment reporting that the members of President Trump's cabinet are all distressed by serving in the administration but none of them are at the point yet of resigning.  Get it?  This is the latest installment of "chaos" in everything Trump.  If you recall, the mainstream media told us that the Trump campaign for the Republican nomination was in chaos and that he could not possibly get the nomination.  Then the mainstream media reported that the GOP convention in 2016 was going to be chaotic and it would be a colossal failure.  Then the Trump campaign against Hillary Clinton was in chaos according to the media.  They told us that Trump could never beat Hillary and the campaign was so chaotic that the question was whether many Republicans could hold on to their seats in Congress.  Of course, Trump won and the Republicans took both houses of Congress.  Then came the transition.  There were literally hundreds of stories about how the transition was in chaos and that Trump would be lucky if he could just pick a few members of his cabinet.  That didn't pan out, but it didn't stop the media.  Once Trump took office, the mainstream media told us that the White House was in chaos.  It was a constant mess and nothing would ever get done.  After a year and a half of a great many achievements, nothing matters to the media.  They are still telling us that the Trump White House is in chaos.  Today's target is the cabinet.  They are all disgusted and ready to quit according to the media.  More chaos on the way.

Sometimes I wonder in what world the members of the media live.  It can't be the real world.  I mean think back over the last decade.  We never got reports of chaos in the Obama administration, but, of course, nothing was ever accomplished by Obama after his first year in office.  Trump has gotten more done in a year and a half than Obama did in eight years.  Maybe the media is so used to nothing happening other than people talking that they confuse action for chaos.  That's probably giving the media too much credit.  I doubt the media is confused; I think that they are, rather, lying.  They understand that there is no chaos, but it doesn't matter.  Someone somewhere decided years ago that everything Trump did would be called chaotic.  That would be the story that would get sold over and over in the hopes that it would finally stick.  That may sound ridiculous, but remember, the media and the Democrats working together actually convinced a majority of Americans that tax cuts were actually tax increases.  Anything is possible if you use the big lie technique currently being employed by the media.
