Treating this stupid media controversy like it deserves to be treated, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter to wrist-flick away the latest bubbled, leftwing mainstream media frenzy. Early Saturday morning The Donald tweeted, “Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don’t think so!”

More common sense and humor soon followed:

—

This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

—

If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

—

If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man’s right of free speech. A no win situation! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2015

After a questioner at an open forum Trump held Thursday attacked President Obama for being a Muslim, our utterly useless and out-of-touch media ginned up a non-troversy over the fact that Trump blew the guy off. According to our Obama-loving media, Trump was obligated to tell tell the guy off and vouch for the president’s patriotism and Christian faith.

The media also believe that Trump is responsible for a supporter misled by Hillary Clinton. For it was Hillary Clinton who planted the first seeds of the Birther/Obama-Is-A-Muslim conspiracy back in 2008.

This is a documented fact.

Not only is our Islamophobic media acting like being misidentified as a Muslim is a slur, what everyone’s forgetting is that Obama might be a much better man were he in fact a Muslim. If nothing else, Obama would not have spent 20 years in Jeremiah Wright’s creepy, racist Christian church.

To protect Obama, the media ignores the homeless, the unemployed, the under-employed, the EPA disaster in Colorado, the men who died and risked their lives for Obama’s precious “hero” Bowe Bergdahl …

…And now the media’s Obama protection racket is so overblown they demand Republicans defend Obama from rumors started by Hillary Clinton.
