As you have probably gathered, I am not a Trump fan. Some of the sites I frequent are up in arms over a tweet by Ivanka Trump about last weekend's shootings in Chicago. Here's what she wrote:
"With 7 dead and 52 wounded near a playground in the Windy City- and little national outrage or media coverage- we mustn’t become numb to the violence faced by inner city communities every day."
Okay, she made a mistake in the number (52 vs. 55) and the location (near a playground vs. all over the city). Are these serious mistakes? I don't think so. Why the brouhaha? She did mention the lack of media coverage, which says a lot.
If we're going to escape our declining spiral, we have to focus on the important not the trivial.
