CNN’s Avlon: Trump’s Cheeseburger-in-Bed Evidence of “Clinical Depression”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/04/2018 5:01:25 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

John Avlon is CNN’s resident spitballer-in-chief, a guy with the personality of a snarky high school sophomore. Follow him for a while, and you’ll see that in virtually every appearance, he manages to work in a provocative line that you suspect he worked on before the lights came on.

On CNN this morning, commenting on the allegation in Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” that President Trump would at times have cheeseburgers in bed at 6:30 pm, Avlon said:

“Sounds like a portrait of clinical depression to me.”

Except that . . .

Wait till you see what CNN’s Avlon ignored in claiming Trump’s cheeseburgers-in-bed evidence of “clinical depression.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

And he received his license where?

Actually, licensed mental health professionals are in violation of ethics rules when they diagnose someone they’ve never seen and properly evaluated.

Except, of course, when challenging the President’s mental health.

It’s certainly ok for idiot libtards on CNN to offer up entirely baseless and unsupported nonsense.

http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2012/01/10/bill-clinton-had-scary-appetite-says-former-white-house-pastry-chef.html

...Roland Mesnier, the former White House pastry chef from the Carter Administration through George W. Bush, said he was astonished at Clinton’s big appetite, calling it “scary.”

“He could eat five or six pork chops,” Mesnier said, speaking at the annual Washington Winter Show, adding that the White House kitchen staff “had to be ready.”

Clinton, 65, who after leaving office famously became a vegan, had a quadruple bypass in 2004. But his reputation as an unhealthy eater was sealed in 1992, when as a new presidential candidate he took reporters on jogs to McDonald’s. Those habits continued while in office, and he was known for his penchant for high calorie snacks, sweets and burgers...

...The French chef recalled the time when he made a strawberry cake one evening. Clinton ate half of it all by himself, and the next morning he wanted more. “No one could find the cake,” said Mesnier. “Clinton was pounding on the table and shouting, ‘I want my goddamned cake.’”

Mesnier said after the cake could not be found, they could come up with just one conclusion. “We decided [Vice President Al] Gore must have eaten it.”...

Good line.

Not that there would be anything wrong with that, of course. ;-)

The folks at CNN have been clinically depressed since the night of November 8, 2016.

They have crossed over to mental illness now.

They are unhinged—all of them.

The media is going to have to make up its mind.

Is it, “Trump sleeps four hours a night?”

Or,

“Trump’s in bed at 6:30” ??

Allegations of having a cheeseburger in bed.............

Is that against the law or something? Because no one in the history of the world has eaten in the bed.
