Readers Write: The perfect fake news

The Island Now

I have to agree with Joan Swirsky’s Letter to The Editor titled “Newspapers unite to undermine Trump,” about the fake news reported by most of the liberal newspapers in the United States. Let’s deal with reality and President Trump.

Everyone should know it is fact that Donald Trump has walked on water. What has yet to be determined is whether it took place on New York’s Hudson River or on Chesapeake Bay. To prove that it is real, Mr. Trump still has plenty of water flowing out from his shoes.

Regarding the Manafort and Cohen situations, in reality they are both the epitome of boy scout leaders. Ask them to light a campfire and they will do it with ease and pleasure, except they must be careful not to do it near Mr. Trump’s shoes.

As for Melania, she should have known that men like Trump need to relax outside of their own home. What difference does it make if he had affairs with two, three or perhaps hundreds of other women in New York, New Jersey or Washington D.C.? Domestication is not for Trump. It could have been worse. As President, he could have used his powers to also become involved in foreign affairs. Let’s hear it for the president’s restraint.

The National Enquirer! That’s another story. Facts show that it is the newspaper of choice for so many of Trump supporters. For them, it’s so much more informative than reading picture books.

Let’s also not forget about Trump’s Evangelical supporters. Morality is their way of life. God is watching, sitting in heaven high atop a picket Pence, trying to understand why birth control doesn’t apply to them. Based upon their support of Trump’s moralistic character, God has decreed that they will all be consigned to Hell, where they can mingle with prostitutes and all those evil homosexuals. Hell makes for strange bedfellows.

Their space in Hell will have to be shared with white supremacists, at least temporarily, until the time they will be pardoned by being burned until their skin turns black. At that time, they will be reincarnated and transported back to places like Charlottesville, right in the middle of a rally for white supremacists and Nazis. “Hail to the Chief.”

Let’s talk about Freedom of the Press. What a laugh. We the People know that the Constitution really doesn’t exist. Neither does Philadelphia. George Washington who?

Allow me to end with some food for thought. Ms. Swirsky should go to a delicatessen and find on the menu and then order “tongue in cheek” and digest it all carefully since Fake News is the perfect food for people who are not fake but simply ignorant. Can they be saved? Not in Trump’s world.
