Except it's reported as tRump's deal. Gods if I'm that easily "informed" by the media there's no hope for low-information people to parse out the truth. Confession: my way of dealing is to avoid ALL broadcast news and just skim the headlines. I guess I'm that big a sucker for not reading more closely.
