6 months agoThis headline is technically correct, but it’s clearly meant to cause outrage. The headline “Trumps Bible only includes the bill of rights” isn’t going to get as much attention.
Manufacturing outrage obfuscates Trump’s actions that people should actually be outraged about.
The headline specifically states those two amendments are omitted because it is the most likely to cause outrage, not because it is the most accurate description of the situation. It’s not incorrect. It’s misleading.
My county courthouse has a mural of the original constitution and the bill of rights: are they making a political statement by omitting all the other amendments?
