But that wasn&#8217;t until after he revealed that he is embarking on an initiative that virtually no one considers relevant or even rational. As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/5\/23\/21268433\/president-trump-conservative-bias-social-media-twitter-facebook-google\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reported in the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;sources said the plans may include establishing a &#8216;White House-created commission&#8217; that would work in conjunction with agencies like the Federal Elections Commission and Federal Communications Commission to examine bias and censorship online. A White House official told the WSJ that &#8216;left wing bias in the tech world is a concern that definitely needs to be addressed.&#8217;\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Trump is suiting up to fight fictional foes and other figments of his fertile but frayed imagination. Note that the White House source explicitly states that only alleged <em>&#8220;left wing bias&#8221;<\/em> is the subject of this phony commission. That&#8217;s proof that the whole thing is a cheesy political stunt that has no credibility whatsoever. It&#8217;s just Snowflake Trump demonstrating how fragile his ego is and how determined he is to seek vengeance for his perceived delusions of persecution.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, and the <em>Paranoid Wingnut Confederacy<\/em> he leads, is convinced that virtually every institution in America is biased against them. Whether it&#8217;s the Internet, the media, colleges, science, Hollywood, etc., he shivers in the wake of clandestine villains lurking under his bed. For the so-called <em>&#8220;leader of the free world&#8221;<\/em> Trump sure spends an awful lot of time whining like a colicky infant and throwing petulant tantrums.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1261626674686447621\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;The Radical Left is in total command &#038; control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google,&#8221;<\/em> and that <em>&#8220;The Administration is working to remedy this illegal situation.&#8221;<\/em> Like most of Trump&#8217;s assertions of secret cabals ruling the planet from some underground bunker, Trump has no evidence to support his deranged ranting. Likewise, he is incapable of backing up his reckless accusations of illegality by citing any breach of a law that actually exists.<\/p>\n<p>However, this isn&#8217;t a recent mental short-circuiting by Trump. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=41398\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">News Corpse reported on it a year ago<\/a><\/strong> when Trump was defending his bootlicking sycophants, Diamond and Silk, who falsely claimed they were being censored by Facebook. They weren&#8217;t. And exactly one year ago today Trump tweeted&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When is Twitter going to allow the very popular Conservative Voices that it has so viciously shut down, back into the OPEN? IT IS TIME!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1131764098289602560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The problem with the <em>&#8220;conservative voices&#8221;<\/em> Trump is advocating for was not their conservatism. It was their repeated insistence on engaging in racist hate speech and inciting violence. The aforementioned Diamond and Silk were recently booted from Fox&#8217;s <em>Fox Nation<\/em> streaming platform for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/fox-news-cuts-ties-with-diamond-and-silk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">spreading disinformation<\/a><\/strong> about the coronavirus. Their bizarre conspiracy theories included advising people to deliberately expose themselves to the virus in order to develop immunity, and warning against getting a vaccination because it was part of a plot by Bill Gates to impose population control.<\/p>\n<p>These are typical of the sources Trump relies on for his policy development. He rejects science and academia in favor of crackpots with ludicrous and unfounded schemes and ultra rightist agendas. Trump adopts these lunatics and passes their dangerous blather on to his cult followers. Then he publicly whimpers and sulks about how unfairly he is treated by the liberal overlords who he believes secretly control the destiny of the world. Poor baby. It must be so hard being the weakest holder ever of the most powerful position on Earth.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After ignoring the deadly risks of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic for months, Trump failed to respond with anything that remotely resembled leadership.
