ANALYSIS/OPINION:
What takes over a heart, infects a soul so perversely that a person sees murder, terror and violent crimes and immediately begins plotting how such misdeeds might benefit himself? How such things might advance his own political agenda?
Is it the incivility of political rhetoric these days?
The media tries drawing a straight line from President Trump’s joyous verbal pounding of the media to actual violence against reporters. That is why there has been so much flood-the-zone coverage of the dastardly murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the occasional columnist for The Washington Post.
Their argument: It’s all President Trump’s fault.
Because Mr. Trump commended a politician for “body slamming†a reporter who had annoyed him. In this twisted world, making a joke about a guy who roughed up a reporter equals gang-torturing, killing and dismembering a reporter in a Saudi Consulate in Turkey.
And to think: There is actual video on the internet of Mr. Trump charging into a professional wrestling ring and body slamming the actual CNN logo!
