Na Chris Floyd, Akuhata 28, 2017, Ko te Smirking Chimp. 
Kei te anga whakamua a Trump mo te whakatikatika karihi utu nui, ka whakakore i nga feaa (NYT). He korero whakamiharo tenei. Ko tana kawemai ko te anga whakamua a Trump me te whakatikatika poauau me te whakawhanuitanga o te patu karihi. Katahi ka tohu ko te mahi pera, kei te haere tonu ia i nga mahere me nga kirimana i hangaia e Obama. Na ka korero mai ki a maatau, me te kanohi tika, na Obama i hoahoa tenei $1 trillion "whakahou" o te patu karihi ... na te mea i whakaaro ia ka wikitoria a Clinton i te tau 2016 me te "whakamutua" nga mahere. Ko te miro i konei he tawai kino ki te mohio o nga kaipanui.
Ae, ko te "whakahou" o te patu karihi he pokanoa, he utu nui, he koretake me te kino. He maha o tatou i tuhi mo enei kupu i te wa i whakatuu ai a Obama. Engari ko nga roa poauau e haere ana te Times ki konei ki te whakapouri i te meka i tenei keehi kei te whakatinana noa a Trump i te mahere a Obama he mea whakamiharo.
Ka tonohia kia whakapono matou he marama, tau te roa o te tangata mohio me te mohio a Barack Obama, ki te whakahiato i te $1 TRILLION te whakapai ake i nga taonga karihi o te motu i runga i te whakaaro ka tapatapahia e tana kaiwhakakapi. He korero poauau tenei a Trump-level mai i te Times. No te aha e ore ai e faaite noa i te parau mau? Kei te haere tonu a Trump i te poauau, me te whakararu i nga mahi a Obama. Kei te kawe ia i te kaupapa whakatumatuma-a-papa-a-rangi, e whai hua ana ki te whawhai mo te "whakaturanga kaupapa here kee-rua" e arohaina nuitia ana e a tatou tohunga korero. E tino mohio ana ahau ko te "nui" me te "marama" a General Kelly raua ko Tianara Mattis - e arohaina nuitia ana e o maatau rangatira mo te kawe mai i te "whakapapa me te hanganga" ki te mohoao Trump White House - i tino whakaae ki te nekehanga a Trump ki te haere tonu i te mahere a Obama.
Ae ra, kei te koa ahau ki te kite i te NYT e aro ana ki tenei porangi. A he pai ki te kite kaore ratou i aro noa ki te takenga mai o te mahere. Engari ko te BS puhoi o te miro — “Aue, kare a Obama i tino hiahia ki te whakawhanui i te patu karihi me tana mahere ki te, uh, whakawhänui i te patu karihi; i tino mohio ia ka whakamutua e Hillary tana mahere a muri ake nei” — he tino miharo.
