This essay is Truth! It hadn’t occurred to me the reason the NYT nor the Des Moines Register will not call out trump on his continued lies, and general shit talk. FOX I get. Their audience, at least the ones I know, love hearing the lies and jaw-dropping half truths. But we genuine Iowans, at least the ones I know, want to hear and read “Trump was rude and nasty to black reporter while falsely accusing her of the same.” Or, “trump has five children with three different women. If Harris had the same, she couldn’t even be considered for a job as city clerk of a small town.” Harris is genuine. I think she was raised by a mother who told her to succeed. Don’t simply MARRY a doctor, lawyer, merchant or chief but BECOME one of those! Thanks for writing this, Elizabeth. It raised my blood pressure this morning.
