QOTD: The WSJ Unloads on “Fake President”

If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world? We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.
Did Rupert Murdoch order the code red? This is tough stuff from the right-leaning editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. And it’s important that it be said by someone on the right, quite frankly. Nothing penetrates the mental force field between the two ends of the spectrum these days.
Bottom line: You can be the President of the United States or you can tweet bullshit from Fox & Friends or Alex Jones.
But you can’t do both.
