In a kind of “coals to Newcastle†move the Washington Post today is providing a cheat sheet for assessing the truthfulness of President Trump’s comments on the “crisis on the border†tonight.
Clearly we don’t really need this. Virtually everything Trump will say can be guaranteed to be a lie, an exaggeration, or a total fantasy. He has proven over and over that he knows nothing about anything and understands less.
There is some understandable puzzlement over why our TV networks will be televising this pile of verbal bullshit, but let’s just think of it as an episode of Cirque d’Soleil with a crazy ringmaster talking without a net of facts. Then once we have cleaned up the vomit we can come back to the TV for Pelosi and Schumer to suggest how we can replace the clowns. Or is that hoping for too much? Yeah, probably.
