Interesting take from Benedict Donald today on the death of Colin Powell. While we cats also noted the "blot" on Powell's record from the 2003 Iraq war, we are mere feline bloggers and not a former POTUS. But the nation should probably be unsurprised that Trump has never mastered the nuances of proper Presidential behavior.
Not only that, but he's been extremely careless in the run-up to the Virginia governor's race.
So far, the media have let Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin off easy on Trump's endorsement, which the candidate has tried to finesse by saying he's "totally honored" and yet refusing to speak Benedict Donald's actual name — lest it offend the billions of suburban votes he'll need on November 2. Will that change now?
Virginia is the home of the Virginia Military Institute and has thousands and thousands of veterans and active-duty service members, who may not take kindly to Trump's sentiments on Powell. But it goes without saying that the press should no longer allow Glenn Youngkin to weasel out of commenting on this.
Come on, journalists, do your jobs! Until then, we cats HISS.
