Murdoch's New York Post Savages Trump

While many of the talking heads Fox News, a/k/a Faux News, continue to kiss Donald Trump's very wide ass, Rupert Murdcoh's print outlets such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post (the image is from the Post after Trump's acolytes fared badly in the mid-term elections) are belatedly turning on Trump and calling him out for his politics of hate and division and surrounding himself with heinous individuals.  simply because they flatter him and "say nice things" about him.   The latest is a short column by the New York Post editorial board that slams Trump for dining with  Kanye West, n/k/a Ye, and white supremacist holocaut denier Nick Fuentes.  Here are column highlights:

“Why wouldn’t I agree to meet?” Donald Trump said of his dinner with Kanye West. 

Perhaps because Ye has been spewing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and said he was going to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”?

Maybe because he accosted Adidas officials with pornography and intimate pictures of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian?

Or, most importantly, if Trump truly cares about the people of Israel, and his own daughter and son-in-law, the question should be “why should I?” rather than “why shouldn’t I?”

But no. Ye said some nice things about him on TV — the No. 1 thing Trump looks for in a dinner companion — so none of the other facts mattered.

Trump also was impressed with Nick Fuentes, because he praised the former president at the dinner. That Fuentes is a white nationalist Holocaust denier — well that never came up, Trump says. Not “I denounce what he stands for.” It’s “Kanye brought a guest I didn’t know.”

Having driven away every capable aide through paranoia or his bitter fixation on losing the 2020 election, this is now the company Trump keeps. The Groypers, the Proud Boys — Trump won’t denounce any of them. They like him, so how bad can they be? And so — again — Trump puts his own ego before common sense, before tolerance, before judgment, before country. 

 Ouch!!
