Letter: Who's being 'played?'

Let's see if I've got this straight...we're being told by a MAGA cultist whose version of reality stems from hanging on every rant from "President" Felon, Fraud, Liar, Grifter and Con Man (whose intellectual development is that of a spoiled 14-year-old viewing war as a video game) that the rest of us are being "played" by the news media? Does his "information" come from Trump mouthpieces like Karo-lyin' Leavitt or vicious Steven Cheung? Remind me...how many decades upon decades has Iran been chanting "Death to America" (or Israel), and yet, here we still are. Trump is a self-serving fool who never thinks beyond how to make the moment he's in benefit him, and using war to distract from the Epstein files is just particularly grotesque. Trusting someone as ignorant of history and foreign culture as Trump is to have any meaningful understanding of a country like Iran is certainly the definition of getting "played."
