And still the press doesn't serve the public interest.

Do not get me wrong: It is flipping great that trump is making a fool of himself with the fat shaming tweets about Miss Universe from 20 years ago, but I can not help but notice that the Cuba embargo scandal and the new revelation about the un-certified trump foundation have fallen off the radar within two days in favor of a new national enquirer headline.

Even if tweet-gate hadn't taken place, those scandals would have been forgotten.
