Trump Ghosts Cheney’s Death But Chats Online Like A CEO CEO
President Trump is mastering the art of 'presidential silence' after former VP Dick Cheney died at 84 from pneumonia and heart disease complications on a Monday nobody asked for another political soap opera. Instead of condolences, Trump tweeted up a storm and left flags half-staffed, because reasons — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed they 'haven't gotten to funeral planning yet,' which sounds like a Zoom meeting stuck on "Waiting for Host." Cheney, the Iraq War architect and post-9/11 war on terror champ, left a GOP divided like Liz Cheney supporting Democratic VP nominee Harris while Trump allegedly wished her literal death threats. Trump's history of respectful eulogies to Carter and Bush feels intellectually distant now, like remembering dial-up internet fondly while surfing fiber optics.
