If someone can explain that, it might be possible to take this thread as anything other than mardarsed wailing because there's people working in the America media who don't like the current President.
A rabbi once told me that if the human mind is given enough time, it can find a way to justify anything.
Generally, it seems to be human nature to disregard or justify any wrongdoing that you or people you support have made, and only focus on the wrong "the other guys" make. This isn't limited to politics, although it certainly doesn't exclude it. It's so hard for people these days to admit "gee, I made a mistake," let alone "I was wrong."
