I think the media should try to find stories in which Trump isn’t a hypocritical POS. There would be few to none.
Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

That’s another horrendous ACIP meeting on the books. This clown show did a lot more than weakly recommend delaying the HBV birth dose and compare vaccines to planes.

Mifepristone has been used safely in abortion care for over two decades. Trust the science and debunk anti-abortion misinformation here: reproaction.org/resource/deb...

This is who MAGA is now.
