The Press Continues to Give Trump a Free Pass

[PSPS]

I was curious, so I did a bit of research on theories about why great civilizations fall. Some scholars point to the danger of overextended militaries, others to overwhelmed bureaucracies.

Sometimes the key factor is declines in public health, often caused by agricultural crises. Political corruption is another contender, as are inflated currencies, technological inferiority, court intrigue, rivals taking control of key transportation routes, or an over-reliance on slave labor.

Others point to changes in climate, geographic advantages won and lost, or the ever-popular invasion by barbarian hordes.

None I could find, however, mentioned what may become future historians’ most convincing explanation for America’s fall, should Donald Trump end up her author and finisher: bad journalism.

1. Remember The Off The Record Meeting Trump Had With The Top Jocks Of The Press After He Won.....

now I'm really suspicious as to what he said to them and how much he intimidated them.

I know that we did hear some of what went on at that meeting - but did we get the full story? Did he threaten them in any way?
