So The MSM Has Elevated Tr**p Once Again - And I'm Offended By The Moniker They Give Him.....

In the last few weeks I've been hearing the MSM use the term: Tr**p World when referring to all things Tr**p.

So now he's been given the distinction of owning the 'world'. I don't know why - but I find the use of that term as being offensive.

Instead of ignoring TFG - they gave him his own world now.

I wonder what's going through his mind when he hears that term being used in reference to him.

I'll bet he's thinking that it's really great that the MSM gave him his own world.

Now I know that he's been living (mentally and delusionally) in his own world.

But that's not the same thing as the MSM now anointing him with all things Tr**p as "Tr**p's World."

1. I don't get upset at this. It's not new. We've all been using that term for years now

To reflect the MAGA sphere. I have too many other Republican things to be upset about now.

They seem to be drawing a distinction between Tr**p world and the real world. Between delusion and empiricism.

We ignore Trump World at our peril. There's a whole lot more power behind the fascistic Trump movement than any power brought by merely paying attention to it. Ignoring it won't help make it go away.

In fact, considering the way they usually treat republicons, acknowledging that there is such a thing as the delusional (and dangerous) tRump World is probably a huge step for a corporate media that rarely even uses the word "lie".
