Sean Spiced-up and his innovative way of presenting President Trump

Last Updated: January 22, 2017By

Apparently the Presidential press office is now taking its lead from the Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s 1984 – in that it seems to deal in lies.

Sean Spicer’s appraisal of the Trump inauguration doesn’t need This Writer to set the record straight. As in 1984, we are all being encouraged to ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears, in order to allow the lie to become truth.

Fine. Let’s also believe this comment by Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, then:

This Site is pleased to congratulate both Mr Lineker on his amazing viewing figures, and Messrs Trump and Spicer on their amazing comments.

I’m sure they are equally accurate.

The presidency is not a reality show, but President Trump on his first full day in office made clear that he’s still obsessed with being what he once proudly called “a ratings machine.”

He cares enough about it to send his press secretary, Sean Spicer, out to brazenly lie to the media in his first official briefing.

“This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe,” Spicer said. And he added a scolding about widespread reports that differ from his evidence-free assessment: “These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong.”
