Was it Trump’s magic wand that turned the Washington Post into a laughingstock?

I’m beginning to think that hidden somewhere in the White House or Trump Tower there’s a magic wand that the president wields which turns his detractors into laughingstocks. If so, this weekend he waved it over the Washington Post.

First, a little background. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was an ISIS leader. He was a very, very bad man. In 2009, we had him captured and imprisoned in Iraq. President Obama released him.

Thereafter, Baghdadi and his troops took over the Iraqi cities of Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit and Mosul, and threatened Baghdad.

Along the way they burned down everything in their path and tortured and murdered civilians, soldiers and police officers.

Baghdadi photographed and publicized how he and his fellow butchers roasted alive men hogtied over flames, burned whole families with their children in cages, drowned prisoners in cages, raped and murdered thousands of Yazidi women and girls, and beheaded, shot, and blew up countless thousands of people.

Among those he kidnapped, tortured and murdered was a young American woman Kayla Mueller whom Obama failed to rescue in time.

After his Iraqi mayhem, Baghdadi took refuge in Syria where he hid out.

You’d think Baghdadi’s obituary would acknowledge what a monster he was. The header the Washington Post chose for this was originally

“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State’s ‘terrorist-in-chief,’ dies at 48.”

It was changed to:

“Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State dies at 48.”

The headline provoked a torrent of satires.

Don’t be so hard on the WP, they’re just publishing the headlines that the shadow President tells them to.

“Adolf Hitler, dynamic public speaker, dies at 56.”

AH... victim of gun violence...

“Jeffrey Epstein, philanthropist, socialite, child promoter, dies unexpectedly.”

It is the Trump Curse and his loyal 62 million deploreables which is destroying stupid liberals on a daily basis.

My local rag, which for the most part simply reprints Washington Post bilge, didn’t even reference the raid this morning.

Instead, we were treated to WP articles about baseball fans booing the president last night and the difficulty many Republicans are having defending and supporting the president.

"Adolf Hitler -- author, artist, veteran, and public servant -- passed away quietly at age 56 in his Berlin home.
He leaves behind a stunning legacy in the area of human rights, even though resisted by the reactionaries of his time."

““Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State dies at 48.””

I like it.

Liberals are always denying the terrorists have anything to do with
Islam. That they don’t reflect or represent Islam.

This headline belies that nonsense and puts the most extremist terrorist Islamists right at the fore of Islam.

Washington Post took even a steeper nose dive after hard leftist Jeff Bezos bought the publication.

The New York Times survives because they have actually done well with their digital subscriptions and the fact they have a huge "sugar daddy" in Carlos Slim Helú, the richest man in Latin America.

The Washington Post survives because of Jeff Bezos' money. Otherwise, they would have imploded years ago. The same applies for the New York Times being propped up by Carlos Slim Helú, the richest man in Latin America.

ISIS and al-Baghdadi actually had journalists killed. And still, they consider Trump to be more dangerous to the profession. They have truly lost their minds.

“Was it Trump’s magic wand that turned the Washington Post into a laughingstock?”

there’s no magic wand, only President Trump’s total genius at manipulating the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia:

We watched the entirety of President Trump’s press conference yesterday morning, and we both realized that Trump was being deliberately provocative with his stark and repeated descriptions of Baghdadi’s ignominious end as a means to deliberately provoke the leftist and anti-Trump media in defending Baghdadi and condemning Trump, knowing that regular folks would be again outraged at the hypocrisy and blanant anti-American/pro-terrorist stances of the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia ... and as usual, it worked ...

President Trump owns the media and plays them like a finely tuned musical instrument, even though they all are still totally clueless that he’s playing them ...
