I see 4 articles. Is that the best you can do? Now... count the anti-Trump
articles, and not OPINION pieces.
> Washington Post editorial board praises
> Trump's demolition of East Wing
OPINION Editorial Board (see what they wrote, below)[1]
"The White House cannot simply be a museum to the past. Like America, it must
evolve with the times to maintain its greatness. Strong leaders reject
calcification. In that way, Trump's undertaking is a shot across the bow at
NIMBYs everywhere," the Post's editorial board wrote IN AN OPINION PIECE
published Saturday.
Praising modernization, is not praising Trump.

Wanting a strong defense for our country is now being pro-Trump???
Again... OPINION, and not even FROM The Washington Post. That's actually an
anti-Trump and defense article, whining about The Washington Post.
If you write this: "Rightwing Washington Post Editorial Board Endorses Trump's
Golden Dome", do we REALLY need to believe them and give them any weight on
the matter?
They don't WANT the "Golden Dome" and are just whining about an OPINION piece
in the Washington Post.

That's not The Washington Post.
"The Washington Post will no longer run views opposed to "personal liberties
and free markets" on its opinion pages."
THAT'S pro-Trump??!!
No, fucktard... that's pro AMERICAN!

Again... NOT the Washington Post and NOT a "pro Trump" article.
It's an OPINION of what Bezos did... not Trump.

Again... NOT a Washington Post pro-Trump article written BY The Washington
Post.
There's a reason why Bezos didn't want to endorse Harris, and it wasn't
because he was pro-Trump.
Far from it.
The newspaper ran an article by two staff reporters saying that editorial page
staffers had drafted an endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the
election.
That doesn't look like it's pro-Trump.
"The decision not to publish was made by The Post's owner - Amazon founder
Jeff Bezos," the article said.
In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud
computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used "improper pressure ... to
harm his perceived political enemy" Bezos.
"Trump used 'improper pressure'...
NOT pro-Trump.
[1]The newspaper PUBLISHED an article by two staff reporters revealing that
editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement of Democratic nominee
Kamala Harris over GOP nominee Donald Trump in the election.
If Bezos only hires those people he wants writing what HE wants written...
then WHY did the editorial page staffers write an endorsement for Harris?
I mean if Bezos only hires those people he wants writing what HE wants
written, then that should have NEVER happened... right?
Right.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
