One of my friends, who I've known for probably a dozen years now, is a particularly rabid anti-Trump person, spending an amazing amount of time posting every little thing he can find about Trump on his Facebook and ranting about it. Of course, he especially loves pointing out the lies and misinformation. Now, I am not a Trump supporter in any sense of the phrase, but I've sincerely considered removing my friend from Facebook because honestly, he is toxic.
Yesterday, he posted a status update that said, "Trump lambasts the media for not reporting on the Bowling Green Massacre." (In case you aren't aware, the Bowling Green Massacre isn't real - Kellyanne Conway mentioned it and tried to cover it up when it was pointed out that there never was such a massacre.) One of his friends replied, "Really?" and he replied back, "No. Trump just complained about the media for underreporting terrorist attacks."
So basically, my friend, in complaining about Trump's misrepresentation of things to paint his opponents in a bad light, did exactly the same thing. I think that people in general are quick to criticize others of things they don't recognize that they're doing themselves.
