As Driftglass is wont to say, “it’s a funny old world”.
As all of the internet knows, the genius recently referred to Apple CEO Tim Cook as “Tim Apple”. He is now busily lying about the fact, first claiming he said “Tim Cook of Apple”, a lie even his corrupt donors couldn’t swallow. Then he changed his tune. This from the article I’ve linked to above:
Now, however, Trump is claiming that he meant to call Cook the wrong name, changing his recollection of the event and keeping alive a stupid story that would have died had he just kept his mouth shut.
I have a bone to pick with this writer.
Nothing Trump does can keep this story alive, illustrative as it is of his stupidity and/or dementia, except in certain godforsaken nooks and crannies of the internet. The average Fox viewer will never hear of it. The other major media may mention it in passing, but it will haves no legs, because it’s just the genius being the genius, which we have all come to expect and therefore this evidence of serious mental and/or moral defect will vanish down the major media memory hole. I am not, by the way, arguing that it is a moral defect (though it may have been a mental defect) that caused him to call Cook “Apple”. The moral defect comes with the lie.
Now comes the obligatory refrain. Imagine, for a moment, if Obama had made this verbal slip and then lied about it. He once wore a tan suit and we heard about it for years. It would have been pundit fodder for months, and not just on Fox.
It is a funny old world, isn’t it?
