President claimed to have ushered in a ‘golden age’ even as prices soared and war dragged on – and midterm voters did not buy his looking-glass narrative A new “golden age of America” is under way, Donald Trump repeatedly declared in his final pitch to voters before the US midterm elections. The war in Iran was not really a war, because “we’ve done very little fighting”, the US president stressed. The stock market had hit 88 all-time highs. “They’re saying,” he said, that on his watch the US has become “the…

They didn’t just ignore it, they actively attempted to drown it. Conservative media completely reframed the situation to make it sound like people were just offended by his use of the word “pussy.” That’s why they kept bringing “locker room talk” into the conservation.

as it absolutely should. but trump is a literal pedophile rapist, and here we are.
I only hope journalists start becoming a lot more disrespectful with him, especially when he’s shuffling around and babbling about his fucking ballroom and so on.
