I’ll note that none of the newspapers are running a headline like: “TRUMP IS A LYING CHUCKLEFUCK”
At this point anything less is downplaying the reality of the situation.

Interesting backdrop in the photo. I have heard of a tuppence. I wonder what a Drump pence is worth in euros?
The US papers seem to have decided that Trump can lie about anything and they will ignore it.
The composer/singer was a Federal civil servant who was suspended with pay for producing this. (Blatantly illegal as far as I can see but that never fazed Harper). Singer since reinstated.

For some reason, I keep hearing Bruce Springsteen…

@jrkrideau: Woohoo! Two thumbs up! Glad to hear he was reinstated. And to the politician who inspired this: if you don’t want people to say you did things like that, don’t do them… Really sucks when people can look it up and find out it’s true.
On topic: I can only hope the press start pointing out the blatant lies. Not that they are hard to notice.

Not in so many words, but I was pleased to see that quite a number of media outlets called out Trump for his lie about birtherism being started by Hillary. An example:
Trump Drops False ‘Birther’ Theory, but Floats a New One: Clinton Started It
