CURB YOUR NEWS REPORTERS

CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond suggested that Trump's potential decision to give the speech at Gettysburg is based on his apparent admiration for the Confederacy.

You have to question his logic since the Confederacy famously lost the Battle of Gettysburg, which many historians consider to be a turning point of the Civil War.

So giving a speech at a battlefield where the Union secured the decisive victory over the Confederacy, somehow honors...the Confederacy?

If Trump's aim was to position himself as a defender of the Confederacy, isn't the site of the Confederacy's most noteworthy military defeat literally the last place he would choose?" Reason senior editor Robby Soave similarly pondered. Real brain trust discussion here.

But nobody has ever accused news reporters of being rocket surgeons. In early 2020 NBC's Bryan Wilson & a NYT reporter opined that instead of spending 500 million dollars running for president he could have given every American a check for one million bucks.
