Got to love the new era of identity politics where even the media are obsessed with political correctness and other trivial matters like who slept with who, small hands, tweets etc…
…if you’re not liked these days you’re stuffed really, no matter your achievments or competency.
People were almost willing for a war with North Korea so they could blame Trump, sad really…his no nonsense stance was in contrast to the international community and previous President and it seems to have worked…you’d never guess from the news though, brief bit about North & South Korea talking again (and the politicians themselves saying Trump helped) and then straight into a longer piece about Trump sleeping with a porn star…people’s priorities are badly skewed…one of those stories is historic and makes for a safer world, the other involves a billionaire sleeping with a hooker 2 years ago…bizarre.
In other news this week (actually i’m lying, shamefully it didnt make the news) was that the number of new applicants for benefits in the US is the lowest since 1969 and the number recieving benefits is the lowest since 1973…good news you’d think…but the media barely mentioned it and instead focuses on Trump’s private life.
I wouldn’t give a toss if he slept with a different porn star every night of the week if while he’s at work he gets rival countries talking to each other and improves the economy, the job he’s employed to do…and much to the annoyance of the media (and plenty on here) he hasnt brought about WW3 or collapsed America’s economy…
….but oh no he’s said some sexist stuff and had affairs!…same as lots of politicians, the most recent being Bill Clinton but he was liked so is remembered fondly…modern politics is embarrasing, people try to be serious but ultimately it seems you’ll get judged on your personality over results…like a bizarre popularity contest that everyone has been hoodwinked into.
