Sitting down, leaning back, I turned on the news – Fox News played a video Trump posted saying we saved Greenland from the Nazi’s in World War II. Going down its own road CNN did a story saying tariffs mean prices go up on top of inflation. Out to help Trump, Breitbart News said egg prices are plunging.

MSNBC, reporting about Trump ordering the Smithsonian to change its ways, said Trump boosted ‘racial purity’ and ‘white supremacy.’

I turned off the news, turned on Hulu, watched A Complete Unknown – a movie about Bob Dylan in the 1960’s told me more about the real world than the evening news – with a lot less melodrama.
