Holy Contradiction Batman! CNN Claims Trump Agenda ‘Could Work’ but Will Hurt Americans
NewsBusters ^ | Joseph Vazquez

Reading CNN’s ridiculous hot takes on the Trump economy is enough to knock a few points off your intelligence quotient. Its TDS-afflicted reporters consistently behave as if writing in contradiction just to sour public opinion doesn’t affect the credibility of their arguments.

CNN Business Senior Writer Allison Morrow didn’t even try to hide the inconsistency in her January 23 anti-Trump screed headlined, “Trump’s ‘run it hot’ economic strategy could work — but it’ll cost Americans dearly.”

Did you catch that? If Trump’s economic plans work out as intended, how will it hurt Americans? Wouldn’t that outcome be the antithesis of an economic agenda that’s successful? That was apparently lost on Morrow, who insisted that President Trump’s fixation on “rapid economic growth and low inflation” could be “disastrous for the American workforce.” Excuse us? What does that even mean! As if anemic economic growth and high inflation is somehow more desirable!

At this point, this is the best they can do.

There was a recent article that “fact checked” recent claims by Trump. The “fact checking” pretty much boiled down to: everything Trump said was factual — but the media outlet disagreed with him about everything. I remember when that approach was called an “op-ed” rather than a “fact check”.

absurd of course but media shills gotta shill.

I do hope that some of these awesome macroeconomic metrics eventually manifest at the grocery store and housing markets, because prices are still way too high, and Trump seems to not be too worried about it but voters are.

Because to them, anything that makes Trump look good is bad.

So far I only see it hurting non-Americans, and that’s what I voted for.

Translation: Trumps agenda is working and we need to start gaslighting folks now to not believe what they see.
