The Look of a Very Worried Man: Trump Always in the News on his Terms But No More

Truth, facts, reality: Only my definition; otherwise, shoo,  

get away, scat — don't want hear it...

Excellent article here from Dana Milbank (Washington Post via MSN):

In the beginning, they proffered “alternative facts.”

(My insert: Recall this exchange on “Meet the Press” – a keeper):

Kellyanne Conway confronts Chuck Todd

Later, they told us that “truth isn’t truth” (Cite: Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer).

All along, Trump and his lieutenants were betting that Jonathan Swift was correct when he wrote more than three centuries ago that “Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it.”

But after two long years, the truth is finally catching up with Trump and his winged whoppers.

In recent days, Trump’s bogus claims about the economy, the Russia inquiry, the judiciary, climate change, the midterms, race and national security have been crumbling, publicly, for all to see.

The schoolmarms of the press and the lonely fact-checkers talked themselves hoarse and typed their fingers sore pointing out that Trump seldom spoke the truth — which only prompted Trump to declare any contradiction of him to be “fake news.”

But Americans no longer need trust the media’s word against Trump’s. 

They can see with their own eyes, if they choose to, that facts are closing in on him from all directions.

My 2 cents: When will this national nightmare end?

The full story continues here for your enjoyment… Milbank as always does an excellent job of reporting and writing.

Thanks for stopping by.
