An anonymously sourced story in The Atlantic has tormented President Trump all week. The piece claims he called dead soldiers losers and suckers. But, mercifully, Bob Woodward has cut the legs off that story with one of his own. His new book, Rage, claims Trump soft pedaled  the Carona Virus to avoid panic. The source? Woodward’s 18 taped interviews with Donald Trump.

Editors demand government transparency. That’s a no-brainer, but they don’t always return the favor.

The Atlantic reported last week that President Trump had called dead soldiers “losers and suckers.” But Editor Jeffrey Goldberg won’t name the story’s four sources. He says he’s protecting them from the twitter mob.

Trump says it didn’t happen and he counters Goldberg’s 4 anonymous sources with 10 named witnesses. One of the ten is John Bolton. And he hates trump.

Six years ago President Obama went around Congress and snatched its power of the purse. He announced “We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation, I have a pen and a phone… and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions.”

Obama, pen, phone

So I drew this Obama cartoon:

Snatching Power

And now President Trump is messing with the same purse. He used an executive order to go around Congress and cut off stimulus talks.

So, a foolish consistency being the hobgoblin of a small mind, I drew the Trump cartoon above.
