| | | Qatar Nukes U.S. Lamestream’s False Report As Trump Clarifies Great Deal For America...
There are still a good many months left in this year, and the mainstream media might still have a chance to one-up this latest case of clownery.

...And then on Monday, with the trap set and the lamestream media clumsily wrapping the rope around it's own neck, the President waited.
And sure enough, ABC News finally took the bait.
I get the feeling I'm watching a classic Warner Brother's cartoon with Foghorn Leghorn running verbal circles around his foe while the unsuspecting victim is still trying to figure out what just happened.
Watch this clip from Monday, as ABC News stumbles right in to the President's trolling trap:

It was around this time that Qatar's media attache to the United States shot down the falsified reporting.
Not only has the deal not been finalized, but it is still under review for the legality of the arrangement, according to a report in Newsweek:
President Donald Trump scolded a reporter on Monday for asking him about his administration's acceptance of a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar's royal family.
Initial reports about the jet sparked fury from Democrats and ethics watchdogs, who accused the president of corruption. The news also drew backlash from some conservatives, who raised national security concerns over the U.S. accepting such a lavish gift from the Qataris.
The president went on to reference an anecdote connected to the late American professional golfer Sam Snead.
"He had a motto: when they give you a putt, you say, 'Thank you very much,' you pick up your ball and you walk to the next hole."
Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar's media attaché to the U.S., told Newsweek on Sunday that reports about the gift were "inaccurate" and that "the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments and no decision has been made."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the White House is still working on "legal details" surrounding the gift, telling Fox News: "The Qatari government has graciously offered to donate a plane to the Department of Defense, the legal details of that are still being worked out."
Al-Ansari, Qatar's media attaché, told CNBC that the jet will not be gifted to Trump during the trip. |
