In the Complete And Utter Surprise To No One Department, FAUXNews shows it's now Trump News Network with special pettiness:

Fox News falsely implies praying Eagles were protesting, and the players aren't having it

On Tuesday morning, Fox News ran a piece it then Tweeted out, about President Donald Trump’s disinviting the Eagles to the White House “due to the national anthem controversy.”

As the anchor delivers the story, images of Eagles players are shown on screen. The first three photos are of players (Zach Ertz, Corey Clement and Jordan Matthews) kneeling — but they’re praying before games, not kneeling during the national anthem.

So weaving that same special FOXNews Magic that made palm trees grow in Wisconsin, TNN tried to imply the Eagles snubbing a White House visit was the God-Emperor rightfully disinviting a bunch of unpatriotic kneeling niggers.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Yet his base believes anything he says. If Trump said he thought the Earth was flat and didn't rotate, the space program was fake and gravity and dinosaurs didn't exist they would believe it.

Is it ironic that the European Union is mad about US Tarriffs yet the EU was created from the European Coal and Steel Community which was a protectionist measure against US steel?

True. Trump didn't make his supporters stupid, he just outbid his rivals for their support with a greater quantity of stupid.

I don't think so, since it's no longer the European Coal and Steel Community and is now a different organization with a different goal.

That might just be me being pedantic about the use of "irony" tho.

This makes plain that what Trump really wants is not patriotism but submission -- mere good works and even plain facts will not sate him; only total abasement and obeisance to the God-Emperor will.

To be fair to Fox, though, it (through Chris Wallace) issued a two-parter apology on Twitter, begging pardon for the mischaracterization of praying Eagles in its news segment hours earlier. Still no word on whether such an apology will be broadcast on live TV, but that's a thing.

No word on whether Trump will ever apologize for his own distortions.

It becomes a farce when one learns the EU is currently taking China to the WTO and crafting their own tariffs against the Chinese while at the same time blasting the U.S. for doing exactly that.

That's fine. He's angry with black people so that means his supporters see him as patriotic.

Or the EU has it's own problems with China separate from the US?
Maybe that shows that if Trumps priority was China (and if he had half a brain), he could work with the EU to pressurise China. Instead he's passed pretty blunt tariffs and pissed everybody off and showed he doesn't know what he's doing.

Except that ignores the fact China is the priority and he's got exactly what he needed from the EU by doing this; they're taking the Chinese to the WTO for dumping as well and about to enact their own tariffs on Beijing. Trump handled this with absolute perfection.

The EU isn't objecting to US tarrifs on China. The EU is objecting to US tarrifs on its allies.
