Here a link to a WaPo post, trying to say that Trump mocked Obama for bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, and then he did the same.
Trump is clearly 6” taller than the King and receiving an honorary medal from him.
“Here a link to a WaPo post, TRYING to say that Trump mocked Obama for bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, and then he did the same.” (Emphasis mine)
Boy! You aren’t kidding about that “trying” part! That’s unintentional journalistic comedy at its finest! In the linked article is an embedded video of Trump CLEARLY squatting down, and tilting his head forward to accommodate the ‘height challenged’ man trying to loop the medal over Trump’s head. The author of this perfect example of Fake News, Avi Selk, was wise to NOT include any video, or even a photo, of Obama’s historic BOW to the Saudis for comparison. To do so would have exposed that his whole arguement is clearly a blatant lie; Fake News.
It’s no surprise that the Compost would try to foist this BS upon its readers, it’s something they’re compelled to do. They know it’s a hard sell, so they give the assignment to a low ranking ‘journalist’ to avoid tarnishing the career of someone they believe is seen as credible. Here’s what the Compost has to say this particular employee of theirs:
“Avi, a native of Canada, grew up in Nelson, a tiny mountain town in British Columbia. He dropped out of a community-college art program in Manitoba to work at McDonald’s for, he says, “longer than I’d like to admit.” He also worked as a diamond courier at a jewelry plant; a dirty laundry bagger at a Scottish hotel; and a signmaker at a company owned by members of an alleged cult.”
Perfect qualifications for a Washington Compost journalist!
