TODAY'S EDITORIAL (3/26)

"Trump Doesn't Get it."

I shouldn't laugh, because it's serious, but I think your editorial "Trump Doesn't Get it." is preaching to the converted. Trump supporters will just label you as "Trump Haters," "Fake Press." You are not going to convince them that Trump is anything but the savior, leading an heroic struggle against COVID-19, trying to get the economy back on track to save the country. If they get thrown out of work, lose their life savings, die from the virus, it's because Trump didn't get the support of Congress, or was taken advantage of by the leftist deep state. You ignore the fact that supporting whatever Trump does is a cult. Belief in him is an article of faith with which there is no reasoning. They are willing to die for him. I suspect they would be happy to die for him. Fox News doesn't care. The newscasters will be taking great care of themselves. Robert Maxwell, pressing the buttons behind the scenes has cancelled his birthday party. The ratings are the only things that matter. Keep feeding the monster. The truth? Fuggedaboutit. They will die to make America Great Again.
