Like, honestly, I don’t really give a **** if he ordered the ship to be scuttled. There are bigger fish to fry than re-litigating the protection of the president’s fragile ego. What I’m interested in here is your dismissal as “fake news” of something that clearly and obviously happened. If you think it’s inconsequential, fine. It is. It’s a whole lot less important than, say, the confirmation that the administration tried to use the Census for political advantage on the basis of race.
But this clearly happened, was accurately reported, and has been confirmed by both the WH and the DoD. Why are you insisting that it’s “fake news”?
