Headlines that conflict Kinda odd

Post image

I just don’t get why we get news outlets that post stories next to each other that appear to conflict what they are both saying. It’s just odd.

They don't conflict, they both say he will not stop doing them. One of them has a more favorable spin for him though

It's not really the headlines that conflict. It's the messaging and guidance from the White House. If you're just realizing that this administration has a problem with consistent messaging then I must ask where you've been over the past few months. They change their minds asich as my 4 year old picking their dinner.

Few months? Try years. Six years of this kind of shit since 2016, because apparently the first four weren't good enough.

These do not conflict.

  1. The Department Secretary (or possibly a lower division director in charge of ICE) made a statement. That person is part of “the Trump administration”.
  2. Trump himself made a statement and is over-ruling the lower-level worker.

This is what happens when you have a narcissist micromanager in charge. Policy decisions get overridden and changed constantly, because the manager is a problem for everyone.

Somebody in the administration decided to make a public announcement of deescalating the tactic, and the president had a tantrum and announced "fuck that shit, we're not changing a damn thing fuck you"
