Since You Didn't Ask -Take 1

It is amazing to me how quickly the media, and therefore the public, moves on from statements or actions of Donald Trump that would have been major scandals dominating the news for weeks in any previous time of American history.

Yes, I know some of the reason for this is that there are often multiple occurrence of such items in a single day. Certainly there is a fresh outrage by the next day. In that environment it is difficult for any one controversy taking root in the media and the public.

Still it seems that when issues resurface or new items tangential to past matters come up, the media seems unable to draw any parallels or refer back to the earlier incident. Basic obvious questions go unasked. Now I realize since we no longer have daily press briefings as we transition from a functioning democracy towards an authoritarian dictatorship there may be some excuse for this. But in those little "walk by" press opportunities as the President walks to his helicopter on his way to yet another round of golf you would think someone would manage to work in one of these questions. 

So as a public service here is a preliminary list of inquiries I wish our press would use. Someone should ask them, just saying.

• Mr President, during the campaign you stated you had no dealings with Russia, no business interests. Yet people in your campaign have admitted, and it came out in the Mueller report, that during the 2016 campaign you were actively pursuing building a hotel in Moscow, a project requiring Putin's permission. Why did you lie about having no business interests in Russia?

• Mr. President, you stood on Air Force One and told the reporters you had no knowledge of any hush payments to Stormy Daniels the porn star. Yet there are tapes showing you discussing the payments with your then attorney. And now recently we have learned that the day after the Access Hollywood tapes came out you were involved in a series of conversations with your attorney and your communications director discussing those payments. Why did you lie to the reporters on Air Force One and therefore the American people?

• Mr. President, you keep saying that if you successfully strike down Obamacare in the courts it won't matter because you can quickly and easily protect people with pre-existing conditions who are protected currently under Obamacare. However every replacement proposal offered by Republicans and supported by you to replace Obamacare would allow insurance companies to either charge people with pre-existing conditions dramatically higher rates than they pay under Obamacare, or would allow the insurance companies to exclude the pre-existing condition from their coverage. How is this taking care of people with pre-existing conditions?

​

• Mr. President, you have stated repeatedly that the four Congresswomen you have been attacking have talked about "evil Jews". Nobody has been able to find any video or any writing where that has occurred. Can you tell us when or where any of the four spoke about "evil Jews"?

This is a very preliminary list based on news items from recent weeks. I'm sure there are many and will be many more. Hell, this could be an ongoing series. What questions do you believe the media should be asking Dear Leader?
