“Comey doesn’t like Trump, Trump doesn’t like Comey, and neither of them ever skips an opportunity to tell us so. Big whoop. Any serious editor would classify a story on the seashell photo as ‘dog bites man.’ It’s just not ‘news’ by any traditional definition. Trump, however, has mastered the art of creating fake ‘news’ as a distraction whenever the real news (for example, billions of dollars in Qatari bribes, failure to make any progress, after more than 100 days, in ending a war he said would be over within 24 hours of his inauguration, a congressional stall on his ‘big beautiful [spending] bill,’ etc.) makes him look bad. Thus ’86’ suddenly and magically became code — to Trump and his MAGA cultists, anyway — for ‘assassination,’ and Comey got called in, with full ‘news cycle’ fanfare, to explain himself to the Secret Service.” (05/16/25)
