Regardless of whether it’s proper English, it’s still clumsy and poor writing.
You may not like their writing style, but they did say what no one at NTYLATWPCT or any of the other media outlets said. The MSM was not concerned about his statement or the context in which it was stated. They seem unconcerned that our president is acting like a circus monkey putting on a show for all the big donors while the world around him burns to the ground.
But you guys prefer to just criticize the words these journalists use rather than comment on the substance of their article.
