I like the belief that news media can call him a liar, but he can't call them liars in return
Either he did it and it's wrong, or he didn't.

I wouldn't necessarily say it gives power to people like Perot because Presidential election is for the executive branch only, the electoral vote does not apply to congress and how you govern. There is no power share, no coalition in the executive branch it's a race if you come in first you win the gold medal you don't share it with second because they were just behind you. They got a straight A beat B result but B is the PresidentNope, it's their system and if the Dems didn't like it (because of the 2000 result, for instance), they had 8 years to change it under Obama and they didn't.
Quote:Yes the term fake news was about before Trump but that is weak sauce, there is no doubt that Trump as perpetuated it to a new level, that is why it was the Collins dictionary word/phrase of the year for 2017 and not 2016,15,14 etcI wouldn't trust "word of the year" lists after post-truth won in 2016 and Brexit didn't.
Quote:The Kentucky shooting probably didn't make the news much because it happens so much in The US that we are becoming desensitized to these kinds of events, as for the shooters motives nothing has been revealed so I am not going to comment on itApparently it was the 11th school shooting in 2018, according to CNN. Were they all Trump-related? Maybe the gun lobby is a bigger problem there.
