CNN, the beacon of journalistic integrity, has once again graced us with their unparalleled wisdom by drawing the most absurd parallel since comparing apples to… well, to whatever the hell they think Donald Trump is. According to these masterminds of media manipulation, the political turmoil in South Korea is apparently a sneak preview of what’s coming when Trump saunters back into the White House.
NEW: CNN says the chaos in South Korea reminds them of Donald Trump, suggests Trump’s return to Washington might look like this.
“Donald Trump is about to be president. Somebody who has said he wants to use the military to go after his own enemies.”

Let’s break this down, shall we? South Korea declares martial law, and CNN’s immediate reaction is to say, “Hey, this reminds us of Donald Trump!” Because, of course, declaring martial law is exactly what Trump had in mind when he said he’d make America great again. How could we be so blind? He must have been scribbling “Martial Law for Dummies” in between tweets about fake news.
“Donald Trump is about to be president. Somebody who has said he wants to use the military to go after his own enemies.” Oh, please, CNN, spare us the melodrama. Last I checked, Trump wasn’t planning to stage a coup but to run a country. But according to CNN, every action Trump takes is akin to the plot of a dystopian novel where he’s the villain with an army at his beck and call.
Then they have the audacity to draw parallels to January 6th, suggesting that the mere “image” of democracy in crisis should remind us of Trump. Because, naturally, when you think of democracy under threat, your mind jumps straight to a man who’s been out of office but apparently still holds the remote control to the world’s chaos button.
And the coup de grâce: “He’s encouraged the use of force to achieve political goals.” Oh, you mean like every politician in history? But no, this is Trump we’re talking about, so let’s paint him as some sort of autocratic warlord rather than addressing real issues.
Congratulations, CNN, you’ve once again turned news reporting into a clown show where every article is a chance to perform your anti-Trump circus act. It’s clear you’re not scared of Trump’s return; you’re terrified you’ll run out of material for your daily dose of hysteria.
Keep up the “good” work, CNN. Your relentless stupidity in “reporting” the news has become the stuff of legend, where every day is an opportunity to see how low journalism can sink. Here’s to hoping one day you’ll report the news with as much passion as you do your fear-mongering fantasies.
