Trump Presidential Timeline - Thus Far
Jan 13, 2017 18:02:43 #
According to the Onion:
(My comments in parentheses)
President-elect Donald Trump routinely insists that he is treated unfairly by the press, while many in the news industry have openly expressed how difficult it can be to report on him in today’s chaotic media environment. Here is a timeline of the major events that have shaped this relationship.
47,891 BC: Primitive humans evolve the neocortical capacity to lie (This date may be slightly off due to many factors affecting long-term date analysis, but generally we think it was either June or July)
September 4, 1966: Trump’s intense animosity toward journalists begins as a college undergraduate after failing to land a New Yorker copy desk internship (To be fair, he didn't have the orange hair back then so it does kinda sound about right, give or take)
October 16, 1973: The New York Times mentions Trump for the first time in a fawning puff piece about him being sued by the Justice Department for housing discrimination (That he totally didn't lose)
April 1988: Trump roundly laughed off after teasing presidential bid (He did say he'd consider it if the country collectively got down on one knee and asked 'pretty please with sugar on')
May 1, 1989: Trump briefly reaches détente with press by taking out full-page newspaper ad calling for execution of five innocent minority teenagers (Who were totally guilty but got off - see Justice Dept. above)
November 2003: Trump roundly laughed off after teasing presidential bid ( Well, maybe a little bit, but some did say 'pretty please')
August 19, 2010: Trump leaves post as music editor at Salon (Those Neanderthals wouldn't know good music if you beat them half to death with a bass guitar)
March 2011: Trump roundly laughed off after teasing presidential bid (That was a leading question from a crooked Salon reporter, he never said that!)
2015-2017: Thousands of news editors across the country begin day by announcing they need more content on Trump (Oh, yeah, now you want to be all buddy-buddy....)
March 29, 2016: Trump’s then campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, is charged with simple battery for assaulting a reporter—who, to be fair, was trying to ask Trump a question (The nerve!)
July 1, 2016: Discovers Kellyanne Conway underneath sewer grate (Not so. The grate was already removed, she was hanging half-in and half-out.)
September 15, 2016: Trump criticized for normalizing Jimmy Fallon’s behavior during late-night show appearance (poor guy needed a boost, it was the least he could do)
January 2017: Other politicians realize there nothing stopping them from acting this way either (Can't do anything on his own, copycats!)
February 11, 2017: CNN correspondents given exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cover own sedition trial (Which they totally lied about!)

As only the Liberals continue to do : Lie, continue to lie and just can't come to grips with fact. THEY LOST! The left has always done that, keep lying until people beg for mercy or go along with the bull to make it quit. They are a waste of protoplasm...

Just so you know, any time you see something from The Onion, it's a parody. It's posted for laughs.
