Just the standard deflection


Remember, whenever Trump does something bad, Obama or a Clinton did something just as bad. Always.

Anatomy of a news story:

- Trump does awful thing
- Trump accidentally reveals he did said awful thing while trying to cover for a dumb thing he could have just owned
- Media investigates awful thing, turns out that people back the version opposite Trump's
- Trump on Twitter: "They're all liars, especially the women and the minorities. Sad!"
- Huckabee-Sanders: "It's unfortunate that the press continues to focus on these lies instead of telling the American people how smart and handsome Trump is."
- Huckabee-Sanders in off-the-record-but-OK-to-use briefing: Actually, HILLARY did the awful thing.
- Chris Cilizza: "Trump does some awful things, but so did Hillary. Who's to say what's worse?"
- Hokieesith: "LOL, it's clear Hillary did this. God, the MSM is so pathe-"
- Trump, literally while people are in the midst of defending him: "Actually, I did what I was accused of! And I did it so much better than anyone who ever did it before."
- Hoodafan: "Honestly, I just don't care about any of this. It's sad you libs focus on this stuff."
- Trump does an awful thing to try and cover for the first awful thing
- Fox News: "People refuse to understand that this man is greater than Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson put together. Already. Those men never had to deal with the liberal media's lies."
- Trump gives interview to the NYT, says 15 other awful things
- Maggie Haberman: "A source close to the administration says, 'My dad is complicated, but ultimately a good man who cares deeply.'"
- Liberal Twitter: "LOLOLOLOL Haberman is so pathetic."
- Weird Twitter: "Melania is a body double"
- Trump, scrambling to create new controversy: "All NFL players are un-American sons of bitches, except for Tom Brady and that big Polack he throws to a lot."
- Steve Bannon: "Not Edelman, though. He's shifty and untrustworthy. Focuses too much on money. Are his ancestors even people? I'm just asking the questions people want answered."
- Scaramucci on Twitter: "Do Julian Edelman's ancestors secretly control the world with their fellow elders and lizard overlords? #moochthoughts"
- Trump awakes an hour before dawn to tweet insults at war widows
