Vindictive Kingdom Coming?

"So who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?" -- President Groucho

   Let's hope that reports of a vindictive president firing anyone who dares tell truth about him under oath to Congress are, in one of his favorite phrases, "fake news."
   These reports are not true, they didn't really happen, but were made up by some small-minded people in a back room of the New York Times or the Washington Post and spread by a conspiracy of dunces to every other newspaper, magazine, radio and television operation, not just in the U.S. but also in Canada, Britain, Ireland and other nations and languages worldwide.
   Can you say, "paranoid"?
   As if the Wall Street Journal and USA Today were also part of the conspiracy. As if the Associated Press and the BBC were also in on the plot.
   This all means that the events millions of people see on live television are all figments of bruised imaginations, and the only real truth is on the president's own Twitter feed.
   Just as there is real news and "fake news," apparently there can also be "real truth" and "fake truth."
