The Donald Trump thread

[Wales-Bales]

It's funny Noam used to be the video go to guy for the free thinkers on here when he was trashing the EU, passing on his views about media manipulation or giving Andrew Marr a difficult time.

He turns on Trump and all of a sudden he is clearly gaga!

Chomsky was essential reading regarding the news media, but he now seems to have succumbed to the same fake news he was warning everybody about!
