He Was Off To See Walter. Why?

By Hubie and Bertie

Is it possible that representatives of the mainstream news media will ever write about people who are not Trumpsters? After all, there are so many more of us. We swear! Just look at Benedict Donald's disapproval ratings or the impeach-and-remove polls for proof.

But, sigh — apparently not. Once again, The New York Times has decided that a pathetic confab of 100 Trumpsters in Arizona is worthy of space in and on its pages. Is it because one or two of the MAGAts threatened violence if Benedict Donald is defeated in 2020? Tosh. Giving breathless coverage to every promise they make of a second Civil War just breathes more oxygen into their nuttiness.

One thing in the story got our attention, though: Their bluster about how many Trumpsters will vote once Benedict Donald is back on the ballot (as opposed to 2018 and 2019, when Democrats won). It makes you wonder: What if Trump is not the Republican candidate next year?

We're not predicting conviction in the Senate, although goodness knows anything could happen. We're questioning — since journalists appear to have forgotten — why Trump had to make that hasty visit to Walter Reed last month. Has he golfed since? We don't think so. Has he shown additional signs of dementia? Definitely yes.

The media never aggressively pursued Melania's alleged 2018 kidney condition. But then, she doesn't have the nuclear codes. So we hope somebody out there in Journalism World makes getting the truth about Trump's mental and physical health his or her mission. We Democrats would like to know whom we'll be facing next year. Meanwhile, we HISS.
