Bye bye... 
Cannot express how much grief I got over this photo. I think I left it on Twitter but removed from Instagram as the stuff towards my followers was just too abusive. It was a FACT. The balloon was flying. But the anger directed towards those reporting on Trump was madness.
I’ve reported /commented on Trump’s visits for CNN and others and done some general commentary on him. And I have been stunned at the level of abuse you get for simply reporting a fact.
Early on, I put up a factual comment about Trump’s campaign spending. This got ‘you disgusting old hag’.
I only very occasionally commented professionally on Trump. I have all respect to those who reported on him day in, day out, telling the truth, against his own & encouraged torrent of abuse against journalists, whipping up hatred of minorities, fake news and lies.
