Trump tweets a video with a very unfortunate Fox News chyron
By Aaron Blake July 6 at 2:16 PM
Fox News is probably happy to have the president of the United States tweet its videos. But maybe not so much this one.
Trump a short while ago tweeted an excerpt from his speech in Poland, using Fox's feed. It was the section about the fight for Western civilization and the need to come together against foes like radical Islamic terrorism. But look at that chyron in the still image of Trump's tweet:
POTUS: WEST SAVED BY BLOOD OF PATRIARCHS.
Patriarchs!?
I wondered: Is the president who played up his wealth on the campaign trail (I'm really rich, etc.) suddenly crediting his fellow patriarchs for saving Western civilization? Or maybe Trump is adopting a more feminist tone, cheering the decline of the patriarchy. Down with hegemonic masculinity! But who are these patriarchs whose blood saved the West, anyway?
