There’s an old saying in journalism, “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” But sometimes that humorous “reminder” to verify stories can be taken to “childish extremes.”
During her speech introducing her father at the RNC, Ivanka Trump told the story of her three-year-old son, Joseph, building a White House out of Lego’s and gifting it to his grandfather, who also happens to be the President of the United States.
“When Jared and I moved with our three children to Washington, we didn’t exactly know what we were in for. But our kids loved it from the start. My son Joseph promptly built grandpa a Lego replica of the White House. The president still displays it on the mantel in the Oval Office and shows it to world leaders, just so they know he has the greatest grandchildren on earth.”
Obviously frustrated over the success of the Republican National Convention (RNC), the mainstream media are now “fabricating a scandal” to attack President Trump’s three-year-old grandson.
Naturally, the “fake news media” could not allow this to stand. Too warm. Too humanizing. Not enough “Orange Man Bad.”
It took two people — two! — at Business Insider to break the fake bombshell that “if the Lego White House is real, where is it? See? Lots of statues. No Lego White Houses.”
Bloomberg News’s White House editor, Alex Wayne, tweeted that none of his outlet’s reporters have ever seen the Lego White House: “Where is it? Where is it?”
Other members of the “Blue Checkmark Media Mafia” immediately lost their diseased minds.
Another “crack” journalist named Andrea Bernstein believed she had cracked the case.
She demanded the White House confirm Ivanka Trump’s remark at the beginning of her RNC speech on the South Lawn of the White House that her then 3-year-old son Joseph built a Lego model of the White House by himself that President Trump displayed in the Oval Office. Other reporters claimed the story was a lie, prompting a White House rebuke.
“OMG, Ivanka is telling a story about her son Joseph building a Lego model of the White House. She told the same story about herself once, building a Lego Trump Tower,” Bernstein tweeted and screen-capped an excerpt from her “anti-Trump” book called “American Oligarchs.”
Jew Bernstein claimed her except was “proof” Ivanka lied. Except…
“The excerpt is an anecdote about Ivanka building a replica of Trump Tower out of Lego’s and something about her evil father fuming over what she got wrong and something else about that anecdote not even being true and then the black helicopters arrived and took me to my special place.”
First off, we have to assume this tale in “American Oligarchs” is true, or not true as the case may be. But even if it is true, is Bernstein unfamiliar with the way in which parents often pass on “traditions” to their children?
Maybe a normal person could inform Bernstein that normal people would look at a story of Ivanka gifting her dad with a “White House” Lego replica as pretty solid evidence her son would do the same thing.
Oh, and by the way, here’s a photo of Joseph’s White House made out of Lego’s sitting in the Oval Office. The photo was taken before Ivanka gave her speech. There it is right there. “It’s right freakin’ there…”
Business Insider was forced to update its “fake news.”
But if you think this is the end of “LegoGate”, of holding a three-year-old up to the “Fake Media Mafia” mob and slowly pulling his wings off, then you are obviously unfamiliar with the American political media.
Now that we have proof there is indeed a White House made of Lego’s in the Oval Office, it can mean only one thing… “It’s still all a lie.”
To the “Blue Checkmark Media Mafia”…
“Ivanka Trump has tweeted a photo of her son, Joseph, with his grandfather at the Resolute Desk with the Lego White House,” Bernstein tweeted a few hours ago. “I’ve asked the White House if 3-year old Joseph indeed built it of his own initiative, and if he had assistance”.
I’m not making that up. That’s a real tweet from a “real fake journalist” publishing at ProPublica.
You can understand her concern. It’s not as if Joseph took millions of dollars from a shady Ukraine energy company or untold millions from China.
Hunter Biden and “Daddy” Joe Biden are “off-limits.”
Three-year-old Joseph “is not.”
