Because America is just one big trashy reality show now, The New York Times reports that Harvey Levin of TMZ met with President Trump in the Oval Office for an hour – AN HOUR! – recently. Sure, there are questions about Russia, how the new shitty healthcare plan would affect millions of Americans, and the Tweeter in Chief has offered zero proof he was wiretapped by Obama – but who has time for any of that when the guy from the sleaziest tabloid show on TV is in Washington.
Mr. Trump, in a meeting last Wednesday that went unmentioned on his public schedule, spent about an hour in the Oval Office chatting with Harvey Levin, the tabloid emperor whose Los Angeles-based news site and television show are leading purveyors of gossip and scandal.
Face time with the leader of the free world is a coveted commodity, and Mr. Trump has granted few one-on-one interviews with journalists since taking office. But he and Mr. Levin have some history: The TMZ chieftain interviewed Mr. Trump for a Fox News special, “Objectified: Donald Trump,” that aired last fall.
Sure the Administration has blocked CNN and the New York Times from press conferences, but you just have to make time for the TMZ guy, right?
Two sources told the Times that the two were discussing a future appearance by the President on Levin’s Fox News show – because that, clearly, is how one makes America Great again.
As noted at Paste Magazine, Trump met with Levin before making any effort at all to contact a ton of nation’s including:
China, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Iraq, Thailand, every country in Africa save for Egypt, and every single nation in the western hemisphere south of Mexico.
