#1 Enjoy the show, and don't believe what you read in the papers.

The author argues that describing Trump's foreign policy as "isolationism" is fake news. It's not that it's an unfair description or even it may be a misguided interpretation - no its fake. And for good measure he goes on to tell you what to believe. We witnessed this level of organized hyper ass-kissing with last administration and we're not even two weeks into the new one.

#2 In the 1930s, Charles Lindbergh's "America First" movement opposed intervention against the Nazis.

We didn't no matter how hard FDR tried to drag us into Europe's second suicide attempt. It took the Germans and Italians declaration of war on the US days after the Japanese attack to get us involved.

#3 Morning news, every other segment was a Trump bash, concern face and everything. Hadn't seen something so poorly done since I was in grade school performing in Stone Soup.
