Donald Trump's War With The Koch Brothers

[redrumloa]

During the Bush Jr's presidency we never heard the end of how evil the Koch Brothers and how they were pulling the strings. Even during most of Obama's reign of terror we still heard how these evil guys were at fault for obstructing dear leader Obama. You couldn't hardly turn on a TV news without hearing it. Your Liberal/Leftist friends wouldn't stop yapping about it, even here on Whyzzat. Now that Trump is in office and he has made it clear he wants nothing to do with them, the Liberal media is very silent about them. What little is brought up is actively relatively positive.

Well, apparently Trump's dislike of the Koch Brothers has gone to outright war.

So why aren't we seeing the same media blitz about the evil Koch Brothers? Now that Trump, a TRUE outsider is president, Liberals/Leftists are BFF with the Koch Brothers?

Quite telling in my opinion, on many levels.

Errm, here is just one example published by a mainstream publication in late January: http://time.com/4652743/donald-trump-koch-brothers-400-million/

Naturally, the Koch's are mostly discussed during election seasons, so not now.

So why aren't we seeing the same media blitz about the evil Koch Brothers?

Because, unlike in all other recent presidential elections, they famously "took a break" during the 2016 one, which was widely reported (incl. the New York Times, etc.) !

It is perfectly normal to focus on whoever is perceived as the bigger threat. Clearly, a sitting president is a more obvious candidate than parties outside of government. While the Kochs' various institutions run ads promoting the idea of "freeing" businesses from the unbearable burden of not poisoning America's water supply, Trump is actually doing it to bring back coal jobs that, according to a major Trump supporter in the coal industry, will never ever come back.
