Demonstrating yet again that there is absolutely nothing that the liberal media can’t turn into an attack on President Trump . . .

On today’s Morning Joe, frequent guest Jon Meacham somehow worked the drama of the Thai kids trapped in the cave into a shot at Trump. Meacham said Trump:

“lives in this kind of fantasy world. And we’re all trapped in it. We’re like the kids in the cave. And the divers won’t come.”

Meacham is a bit of a drama queen, isn’t he?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

MSNBC’s allegory of the cave has nothing in common with the allegory of the cave in Plato’s Republic.

Trapped like the scum in the bottom of the barrel

Man these haters are pathetic!

[Sacajaweau]

How dare you use those children as some kind of political objects. Really sick!!

Think of the parents and friends, too. How cruel can you get.

MSNBC is the last peanut swirling down in the media toilet

Stole it from Dick Durbin.

No honor among thieves.

I was thinking septic tank...

Trump is making them self identify like crazy. Amazing to watch.

Meacham said Trump:“lives in this kind of fantasy world.
And we’re all trapped in it.
We’re like the kids in the cave. And the divers won’t come.”

[N. Theknow]

But he is actually correct.
Alone. In the dark. Can’t figure out how to get out. Blindly followed someone you trusted who got you into a hole. Clueless!

I thought I heard that ten of them got out the other day. And divers did come.

“Meacham is a bit of a drama queen, isn’t he?”

I’d leave the prick in the cave.

Also demonstrating yet again that they have zero point zero imagination or originality when it comes to creating a message. They have a crappy product, but they're doing a crappy job selling it too.

If they were trapped in a cave I would make sure no one went in to get them out and in fact I’d ensure the dams were open to flood the place.

You would think that holding their breath would be the analogy to use in their forlorn hope of escaping from dark disorienting Trump Cave. Hell, they’ve been doing it for 18 months (and longer).

Also from the article:

Note: We recently noted Meacham, in criticizing Trump’s immigration policies, self-righteously saying that “where I come from, the way you define a nation is not about how you keep people out.” Yet it turns out that where Meacham “comes from” is the super-exclusive enclave of Belle Glade, TN.

A little more digging reveals that he also attended the elite, all-boys, McCallie prep school. The photo from the school’s website reveals the wonderfully diverse mosaic of its student body. No keeping people out there!

They won’t come because that’s where you belong.
