The Facts Don't Matter

The President answered some questions today at the White House in a joint appearance with the representative of the European Union regarding trade.  There was some very good news on the trade front concerning Europe.  The EU is going to be buying much more liquid natural gas and soybeans from the USA.  There are now parameters set for the final agreement on trade between the two sides.  There may soon be a stop to the tariffs put on a few items traded between the two entities.  In economic terms, this was a very good development.

I happened to see Trump's announcement on MSNBC.  My wife was watching that network and it carried Trump's statement live.  When the statement of the EU representative began, MSNBC switched to commentary.  There's where it go very interesting.

Here is what MSNBC had to say about the trade issue with the EU:  The first reporter said that clearly President Trump only held the press briefing in order to change the subject from Russia and collusion regarding the 2016 election.  The next MSNBC correspondent said the same thing.  She added, "why else would you hold a press conference where you announce nothing?"  If anything, the coverage got worse from there.

I find it ironic that the MSNBC left wing crowd constantly criticize Fox News for "distorting" the news.  It's an amazing thing because MSNBC won't even cover the actual news.  Instead, MSNBC just goes with stories about events that are not happening but won't cover big news they don't like.
