My local paper in MA ran a general story about Trump’s Asia trip and asked “What did he accomplish?” Their conclusion was basically “Nothing”. They claim he traveled around and acted important but did nothing.
It’s just the narrative. The journalists write the stories without caring about what really happened.
Sadly I don’t think they even knew. They just write stories that want to write without any actual facts to back up their stories knowing that their readers are not interested in facts, just in trashing President Trump at every opportunity. That’s okay though as the reality has a way of showing itself sooner rather than later.
