Staff ReportsIt’s almost laughable but not surprising that liberal media are at it again, twisting reality to suit their narrative. This time, MSNBC pundits are pointing fingers at Trump, blaming his plans for a new White House ballroom for the GOP’s recent election losses. Yes, you heard that right—it’s the ballroom’s fault. In their skewed world, somehow, a building project is more outrageous than the glaring, self-inflicted issues on their end.
The left, always eager to shift blame, can’t seem to comprehend the real drag on election results. Frustrated voters weren’t swayed by a long-overdue White House renovation but were, in fact, stirred by the ongoing government shutdown. Who can truly argue against the impact of a government going dark for over a month, cutting off essential services? Democrats, by playing a relentless game of obstruction, contributed heavily to this debacle. Yet they’d rather deflect than admit their own role.

Democrats are quick to exploit the situation, turning the shutdown’s impact into a weapon against Republicans at the polls. Nearly one in eight Americans on food aid is understandably anxious about the funding lapse for SNAP. Instead of addressing real issues or attempting bipartisan solutions, the left chooses to feed their base’s anger, using it as a political pawn in these off-year elections.
Reasonable minds know the lower voter turnout typical of these elections is always a factor, too. But liberal talking heads prefer sensationalism over substance. It’s fitting they point fingers at Trump, aiming to distract from their own failings. Trump is a convenient target for media personalities who seem more interested in entertainment than facts.
It begs the question: When will the left stop blaming Trump for every conceivable mishap that befalls them? Maybe it’s time they face the mirror instead of concocting bizarre reasons for their electoral shortcomings. At the end of the day, spinning fiction as political analysis does nothing but undermine their own credibility.
