Trump stated in the video that Obama had “absolutely no ability to negotiate” and would initiate a war with Iran.

    The blatant hypocrisy speaks for itself. The fact that it’s treated like it’s some shiny new thing instead of like you said, one of many things discarded as the firehose of falsehoods kept squirting and distracting the media with shiny new things to get clicks instead of organizing it all into a well documented tapestry of hypocrisy is part of why we’re here. The medias failure to contend with the nature of the beast is a problem. Treating every single incident as though it’s a unique, stand-alone issue instead of weaving it together as part of a larger whole is a problem.
