It's Somebody Elses Fault, Right?

       Have you noticed how President Trump has waged war against the news media? Of course you must have. And of course that's been his MOA as long as he's been a political figure. Anyone who finds fault with him has been given the one, two, three punch. But especially the media. He's labeled them the "Fake News" people. Actually the only real fake news is FOX, aka Faux news.
       Why do you suppose he does that? Because he can get away with it. But its the media that is charged with the responsibility of keeping government and politicians honest. Unfortunately they don't do such a good job of it, but it is their job. Even FOX News. It's not a witch hunt to investigate any politician if there's the slightest hint of impropriety. And with Trump, there's far more than a slight hint. He may be as pure as the driven snow, but...
       Look at all the Congressional investigations against Hillary. Republicans tried and tried, to no avail. But they still investigated her all the more. She certainly didn't get out of trouble because of her sparkling personality. Now it's Trump and his family's turn.
       You can't run for office simply to grow the family business although that seems to have been his primary goal. You can't run for office without at least having some slight interest in what the job entails and wanting to learn how to do it. But Mr. Trump seems to have done exactly that. He seemed to have labored under the illusion that if elected he could run our government like he ran his business empire, all by himself.
       The very rich love him because the promise of far greater wealth, for them, is overpowering to them. They care not for the commoners, only for their own greed. The motto for them is "Let em eat cake." It's a sad commentary for a class of people who could be of great help to the down-trodden.
