So right after the invasion of Venezuela, Pedo Don laser focused his attention on, well, umm, accusing Minnesota governor Walz of being involved in the murders of Minnesota state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Now think about that for just a minute: the sitting president of the United States has accused a sitting governor of having coordinating the murder of a state lawmaker and her husband.

The Hortmans' children, Sophie and Colin, on Sunday afternoon asked Mr. Trump to remove the post, saying it promotes a "false narrative."

"The video being shared by the president is another hurdle our family must overcome in grieving the loss of my parents, Mark and Melissa, and their beloved Gilbert," Sophie Hortman said. "I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced, and to honor the spirit of the holidays we have just spent without our parents by taking down the post on Truth Social."


Huh.

No matter how low Pedo Don goes, there's always a lower low ahead.

NYT today:False Narrative: On the fifth anniversary of the pro-Trump mob attack on the Capitol, the Trump administration created a new page on the official White House site blaming the Capitol Police and Democrats, absolving the president of responsibility and calling participants “innocent.”

Enough of the "False narrative" description, for crissakes.
"False narrative" joins my shitlist of misused, overused and pansyassed copout terms along with 'literally' and 'iconic'.

Brings to mind the conversation I had in early 2017 with 2 friends retired from the editorial depts of WAPO and USA Today. I asked them why the editorial depts don't just call Trump's lies, lies. As expected, they said the ed depts had to stay civil.

We're in a world of shit when and AI video of Trump bombing Americans with a load of excrement doesn't warrant the succinct descriptor 'lies'.
