Without an actual journalist even saying a word, MSNBC on Wednesday slimed Donald Trump as uncaring. Apparently, it’s inappropriate for the President to have the federal government do more than one thing at a time. During Trump’s speech on plans for simplifying and cutting taxes, MSNBC ran this nasty graphic: “Trump Calls for Simplifying Tax Code as Texas Floods.”
Got it? The President wants to cut taxes as Americans drown. If that wasn’t obvious enough, the network graphic changed a few minute later to this: “Trump Talks Taxes as Gulf Death Toll Climbs to 19.”
Apparently, Trump really is in a no win situation when it comes to journalists. On Monday, MSNBC reporters whined that the President is moving too quickly in helping Texas. Katy Tur complained, “[Donald Trump is] going to Texas tomorrow and there's real concern that his going there is going to have to divert, at least a little bit, some resources away from the rescue effort and toward him.”
Here's the other graphic:
Meanwhile, Politico mocked Texas storm victims as anti-government nuts who think helicopters are “angels sent by God.”
Is it any wonder that Americans view the media as the opposition party?
