The media are playing checkers while Trump plays 3-D chess
American Thinker ^ | November 29, 2017 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 11/29/2017 6:05:54 AM PST by mairdie

The checkers-chess cliche is overused but often accurate. It was frequently applied to George W. Bush; he played checkers, and China and the rest of the world played chess. It wasn't true, but it was the media's meme.

The media hated W. almost as much as they loathe Trump, but this time, it is Trump who plays the media as Isaac Stern plays the violin. He tweets or tosses off a line, as he did this week, when he referenced Elizabeth Warren, then sits back and watches the fun begin. The press corps goes berserk and accuses Trump of all the usual crimes: racism, sexism, etc. The "racial slur" allegation was particularly off the mark. These lefty journalists leap into the expected fray before they remember to think. It appears that few of them know anything about American history.

Trump was not using a racial slur, as Pocahontas was an American Indian heroine. Trump was reminding us all that Warren appropriated an Indian heritage in order to qualify as a minority hire, specifically at Harvard, who naturally fell for her ruse without question. By lying about her DNA (we can assume she has no American Indian DNA because she can find out for $80), she took a job that might have been given to an actual minority. In short, Warren is a liar and a thief, a cultural appropriator. But she is a Democrat, so for Democrats it's all good. Just like with Al Franken's habit of groping women and a host of other Democrat men harassing and abusing the women who work for them, all that really matters to the Democratic Party swells is the person's politics. Trump knows this and enjoys trolling the press. The reporters rise to the occasion every time.

The Left has the mind of a woman and Trump knows women.

What do you say Joe. You can’t shut up about his tweets, what about the girl in your office?

He’s referring to the scandalous story that ended Scarborough’s political career as a Congressman — when a female member of his staff was found dead in his office.

He also re-tweeted some Muslim attacks and Twitter added a tag to his re-tweets: This media may contain sensitive material. Learn more

So Twitter edits our President?

Do a search on “Lori Klausutis” and see what you find.

I think the Twitter warning is on the original post, not on the “re-Tweet.”

The mystery is referring to 20 years ago when a DEAD INTERN was found in Joe’s OFFICE back when he was a Republican Congressman. Her name was Lori Klausutis.
