Trump trip reveals depths of mainstream media’s pettiness

President Trump on Saturday returned home from a nine-day trip that was extraordinary for its sheer breadth.

First to Riyadh, then Tel Aviv, then Jerusalem, then Rome, then Brussels, then Taormina, Italy. First, he brokered a massive $100 billion-plus deal with Saudi Arabian leaders and delivered a powerful speech to 50 Arab leaders. Then he became the first to fly from the Arab nation directly to Israel, where he made history as the first sitting president to visit the Western Wall. He met Pope Francis. (Get it? He met Muslim leaders, Jewish leaders, Christian leaders, a brilliant stroke by the man the media says is over his head in the White House — and historic.)

In Brussels, he demanded European leaders pull their own weight (and pay their fair share) with NATO. In Taormina, where foreign leaders were gaga for a million-zillion dollar “global warming” pact, he made clear America will decide what’s best for America.

In between all of that, he responded forcefully to the terror bombing in Manchester, England, when — appearing with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, a leader who clearly tolerates terrorism — Trump called Muslim bombers “losers.”

But what did the media report amid all this historic news? The Melania “hand flick.” The picture with “the orb.” The “shove” at a photo op. The “dour Pope.” The “angry handshake” with the French president. The “no headphones” photo. The “middle finger” flippage.....

Really liked your post on President Trump the other day it was excellent.

The home was spic-n-span when you left for work.

You come home after school’s out, and the front and back doors are wide open. Then you find all the kitchen counters are covered. Food containers are open. Dirty silverware is everywhere. The sinks are full of dirty dishes, some with considerable amounts of food still in them. Cigarette holes reveal where they were put out on the counter. One of them is still lit on it’s side blazing a three inch trail across it. The television which is on, has peanut butter and jelly on the screen. There’s two piles of poo on the floor. There’s a big yellow stain on the wall dripping down onto the floor. Your bathroom towels are dirty and on the floor. The toilet has “business” in there. The sink has mascara all over it, and lipstick comments on the mirror. The shower curtain has been partially ripped down. Your and your wife’s bed has wrinkles where someone/or more accurately two of them were laying down doing Satan knows what. Your dogs/cats are pregnant and the trash can lids are off.

Sure enough, the media is nowhere to be found...

Thank you Inyo-Mono. Twice...
