CNN Questions Trump’s “Grasp of Reality”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/29/2017 4:47:31 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

In order to remove and silence political dissidents, the old Soviet Union would declare them insane, thus justifying their confinement in institutions.

We are witnessing a strange mirror-image today, in which the MSM regularly suggests that President Trump is nuts–to use a technical psychiatric term. A predicate for a call to remove him from office, perhaps.

[snip]

We saw the same phenomenon on CNN this morning, with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota taking turns suggesting that President Trump doesn’t have a “grasp of reality,” and that there are questions about his ability to “realize the truth.”

I think it was when they charged the stage at the university, trying to stop a conservative from speaking. ;-)

...says the network that has been pedaling fake and biased news for decades.

Trump’s refusal to fall for the liberal narrative does not, in fact, indicate that he has a tenuous grasp on reality. It shows quite the opposite, in fact.

I love Trump’s tweets—they bypass the liberal media and its inevitable spin on everything.

That dumb dago Fredo Cuomo and his dago brother are the ones who have a tenuous grip on reality.

Like CNN knows anything about reality... They wouldn’t know reality if it bit them in the ass!

Trump's grasp of reality is a big problem for CNN, all right, because his grasp of reality is excellent!

After more than 2 years, the media still tries to interpret his tweets literally. Some are. But lots of times he’s trolling them. And they fall for it every time.

Maybe they just REALLY want to push an agenda and think it’s the opportunity. But I think a few have so much hatred for Trump and his supporters that they don’t even see the sarcasm or humor that is in those 142 characters but instead think of white hoods and nooses that have nothing to do with the tweet.

Who doesn’t have a grasp on reality?

Its disgusting to see how far left Alisyn Camerota has become. She used to give some reliably conservative viewpoints when working at Fox News. I totally despise her now, along with the slimy turncoat John Kasich of Ohio.

Occasionally, Camerota will still behave like an actual journalist. Yesterday, for example, she grilled Gloria Allred pretty hard on her refusal to turn over for handwriting analysis the yearbook Moore allegedly signed.

Oh that’s rich.

A network devoted to unicorn wishes and fantastical beasts judging anyone’s mental status.

When CNN stops the insane trilling while running through some lefty fantasy and comes back to earth with actual news, hell will freeze over.

Heh, we can match any CNN ‘tards anywhere, anytime.
They really hate the fact that the supposedly mad Trump eats their lunch every time.

Shove it, CNN. Go back to school.

Start with first grade, but at a real school.

The Left sees reality entirely differently than the Right does.

Their reality is based on theories taught in universities, not based on actual experience (think Jon Gruber of Obamacare fame). They believe their theories are correct because some professor can come up with a data analysis that supports it.

Furthermore, they fall for the postmodernist view that reality is what you believe it to be (similar to moral relativism), not what actually exists.

So CNN is correct in that Trump has NO GRASP of Liberal reality.

We are witnessing, first hand, mass 'projection'. Projection is a term in psychology, where individuals 'project' their own flaws on others. A classic example is Hillary Clinton. Virtually every sin she accuses President Trump of, is actually a critical flaw in her own behavior. Now we are seeing the rest of the pathetic denizens of The Swamp projecting their own flaws on President Trump and us.

Let me get this straight, the network saying the president’s calling CNN and NBC fake news is harming their journalists overseas ability to get stories or their safety. Meanwhile, CNN continues to bash the President’s mental makeup. Do they think the leader of the free world needs their undermining his credibility. Do they consider what this does to our national image? Do they care? Obviously not. I cannot wait for the day Trump tells CNN, NBC, and a few others GFY.
