I’m not sure exactly what the WaPo columnist was referring to by the word “performance.” It could be just the State of the Union speech, or it could be Trump’s entire presidency. The speech certainly was not cynical and divisive. It was exactly the opposite. Trump’s presidency has not been cynical and divisive either. He has slammed the news media repeatedly for fake news and bias, and he’s exactly right about that. The liberal news media is corrupt and biased and repeatedly adds their opinions into news reports as if their opinions are facts and news. The liberal news media people simply don’t understand that the news media has a huge lack of knowledge of important subjects such as economics, business, and science. Most people in the news media got college degrees in soft majors like Political Science (whatever that is), Psychology, and English. Most of them are very ignorant people whose positions on issues are determined primarily by just taking the opposite side of the positions held by much more knowledgeable conservatives.
It’s the WaPo, also known as the Washington Compost. He knew exactly what he was saying.
Libs are the domestic enemy of this Country.
