The Mueller Report is back and bigger than ever. Is America ready for round two? According to “He told you so,” from the March 30th issue of The Economist, the report cleared President Trump of collusion, but it has not healed our divided country. It seems that most Democrats still want Mr. Trump impeached, and most Republicans still approve of what he has done in office so far. The Republican Party wants payback for their opponents’ attacks on the President and also wants the media and Democrats to apologize. Not to mention that Rand Paul still wants Barack Obama to be investigated. The only really incriminating information the report has provided is evidence that the Russians had interfered in the election by hacking and using disinformation to boost Mr. Trump’s campaign. Nowhere, though, did it state that the President or his staff had ordered the Russians to do so.
Now that the supposed “happy pill” for Democrats turned out to be a lemon-flavored cough drop, they have turned their attention back to healthcare and jobs, while the Republicans are glad the the 22-month investigation is over. It will be hard for the news media to find such perfect content for the 24/7 news cycle, since the never-ending speculation about the report gave them the chance to feed the public non-stop updates.
This is a great example of how the media rules over politics. When average people turned on their televisions, their phones, or went to a news channel or app, they were immediately treated with news on the Mueller Report. People were being interviewed and conspiracies concocted, but in the end, nothing was revealed that was not already known. Everyone seemed misinformed, and everything turned out to be a big mess that appears to be yet another excuse for the media to ladle out content for the upcoming months. But the American people should view this as a victory; if the President had really asked a foreign nation to help him get into office through illegal means, the country would plunge into chaos, for Republicans and Democrats alike.
The mistake that the left made was putting complete faith into the report. They believed that it would be enough to convict the President of treason and have him impeached. It is significant that a presidential candidate has called for impeachment, yet the Speaker of the House has rejected this call.
