It’s not clear whether people are deciding that they want to say what is currently more popular or if they genuinely repent having been bullied into...

But that didn’t stop the talk.It started when Trump, who is perhaps the most visible, accessible president in history, was not seen by the press for a couple of days at the White House. That was all it took for social media posters to get to work. They pieced together reports about bruises on the president’s right hand, the result of shaking...

To the surprise of nobody with a brain, President Donald Trump is alive and well. Over the weekend a bizarre conspiracy theory began circulating claiming Trump had died and that his death was being covered up.

But the propaganda press jumped to cover the hoax, not because they believed Trump was dead, but because the story provided them an opportunity to recycle hysterical speculation about Trump’s health.The irony of course is glaring. For four years, the...
