But then, Trump tweeted the hashtag #FakeNews and it reminded me that, yeah, nothing that the media* ever reports on Donald Trump could ever possibly be true.
Because after all, he's Donald Trump. The Donald! And he's classy.
And if there's anything at all we know about classy people, it's that they won't lie to you. And anyone who says anything bad about them has to be lying by that logic, right?
*Fox News and Breitbart excluded, obvs

(14,558 posts)three plus decades of republicans via their conservative propaganda machine so effectively head shrunk this country that made it possible to have this POS elected is the issue here.
AND, it isn't just the 1/3 so brainwashed they voted for him, it is the 1/3 that sat it out because "they are both the same" or some such disaffection.

The Donald hasn't been classy since about 1985.

I'm from the Vietnam era, so I usually over-react to this kind of thing.

(5,751 posts)The economy is doing well now. What I see and what will change things (again) is to reintroduce the draft. Cheeto eaters may not qualify, though.

(101,262 posts)The countries that do have compulsory military service are moving away from it, and modern professional armies don't want to have to train loads of unwilling recruits. Sheer numbers of infantry are no longer seen as an important military tool. It's a leftover from the days of trench warfare, controlling empires, and cold war proxy fights.

Fake news indeed.
