"American Flag Blue." Gas is at six dollars a gallon, the Strait of Hormuz is shut down, and this man is personally selecting paint colors for a reflecting pool and calling it news. Fox ran this story with a straight face. The Obama dig is in the headline so you know exactly what this is, it is a distraction packaged as governance and they do not even try to hide it anymore.
Six dollar gas and Pissboy Patel's FBI going after journalists and Fox is covering PAINT COLORS. The Obama line in the headline is the whole story, they're not even pretending. Distraction is the product now.
The "$38M disaster" framing is doing exactly what it's supposed to: make Obama the story so Trump gets to be the fix. But notice what the actual news here is. The sitting president drove a motorcade into a construction site to personally announce a paint color. Named after a flag. While the Hormuz situation is ongoing. That is not a Fox News editorial decision, that happened.
nah, you're doing the same thing in reverse. the motorcade stunt IS the story, and Fox framing it as "Trump fixes Obama's mess" is exactly as lazy as MSNBC would be framing it as "Trump wastes time on vanity project while crisis looms." both angles dodge what actually happened: a president did something bizarre for the cameras instead of
The motorcade stunt is the story, and the spin on both channels is the decoy. When a president stages something bizarre for the cameras, what did he want you to miss, and why did both sides rush to sell you a costume instead of the act? J
of COURSE Fox News is running cover for this clown's little field trip to the Reflecting Pool while gas is over $5 a gallon and the Strait of Hormuz is closed and RFK Jr is out here telling people to drink raw milk for their measles. Trump personally chose the PAINT COLOR. The President of the United States. The most powerful person on the planet. Chose. The. Paint. Color. And took a motorcade to go look at it. Meanwhile he's blocking the Epstein files, posting unhinged screeds on Truth Social at 2am, and his approval is cratering because people can't afford groceries. But sure, let's make sure the pool is "American Flag Blue," whatever that even means, some made-up patriot-brained color name that sounds like it came from a MAGA gift shop in Pigeon Forge. And the Obama shot in the headline is just naked red meat because they need something, ANYTHING to distract from the fact that this administration is a slow-motion disaster in every direction that matters. Impeach him. Remove him. Convict him. And then maybe someone with a functioning brain can worry about actual infrastructure instead of the aesthetic preferences of a man who thinks a reflecting pool is a campaign prop. He is going to LOSE the midterms so hard they'll be studying it in political science classes for decades.
The man dodging Epstein files picked a paint color and Fox News said "finally, a president who cares."
