Okay. Between the fake news accusations, potential Russian influence on our election and now with this weird claim that Obama bugged Trump tower, the current administration is making the US look like a banana republic. The media and congress are not helping either. Regardless of the merits of these topics they must be addressed as they have become a self fulfilling prophecy and its spreading like a cancer. What is next? Is Trump going to claim we never landed on the moon? Is the media going to follow suit and write about such crazy claims? Will bipartisan congressional leaders stay silent as they have been?
I blame the media for giving undue attention to stories where no crimes have been committed as of now. I blame the Trump administration for posting tweets that are often baseless and accusatory in nature, and are of a nature not befitting the office from where they originate. Its is also congress’s fault because they are stalling on solving this once and for all. While there are rumors that a group of bipartisan lawmakers want an independent source to investigate this it’s only talk so far. Everyday a new revelation is released only making this mess more complicated, and tougher for the administration to control our message to the world.
Its making us look bad and nations like China are jumping on the fake news bandwagon to discredit media articles regarding human rights abuses. We are losing our soft power
