Political Journalism is Dead

"Much of my journalism for the past four years has been devoted to critiquing President Trump and opposing the spread of Trumpism. But no matter how many columns or sound bites I produce, he remains in office. I am left to ask if all my work has made any difference."

Trump's hotels are as much a part of him as the extra pounds he carries.

An anonymous source claimed that, under pressure, the Kuwaiti ambassador had canceled a major event at one hotel to switch to Trump's own D.C. hotel.

"Do you think a reception of two hours in the Trump hotel is going to curry favors with the administration when we host thousands of U.S. troops in Kuwait? When we have in the past and still do support American operations in Afghanistan and Iraq?" the Kuwait ambassador asked.

Booked nine rooms at a Trump hotel, in media hive minds ostensibly to influence federal approval of a $26 billion merger.

Of times before Trump became president, or that a decision by the Pentagon to have flights stop more frequently there was made under the Obama.

We will soon see how far last week's breathless drama-unnamed "Whistleblower" leaks supposedly charging Trump with pressuring the Ukrainian president to investigate his rival Joe Biden-will go.
