To the editor:
Tally one more instance of “don’t confuse me with the facts” for President Trump. (“Trump rejects report’s conclusion that FBI wasn’t biased in Clinton probe, falsely says it ‘exonerates’ him,” June 15)
Also tally yet another instance of what I call “Orwell J. Trump syndrome”: In his statement during the Fox News interview that “the end report was wrong,” there was “total bias” at the FBI and that the inspector general “blew it” in his conclusion that the political opinions of any agents likely did not affect their work, he again acts as a one-man Ministry of Truth.
Trump doesn’t like the facts? No problem; he’ll just create a new “fact” engineered to his liking, in this case the claim that the report “totally exonerates” him.
And he doesn’t even need Winston Smith’s help.
