Bombshells 0

At the Idaho State Journal, Mike Murphy posits that recent “bombshell” books about Donald Trump, such as those by Mary Trump and John Bolton, are hardly bombshells by any definition, maybe not even firecrackers or squibs.

He suggests that anyone who has followed Donald Trump’s career already knows what Donald Trump is.

A snippet (emphasis added):

As you read blurbs describing the books that discuss the president in a negative light one word keeps recurring: “Bombshell.”

Which is really sort of a head scratcher since one definition of the term bombshell is “an overwhelming surprise, a shocking revelation.” Since none of the claims describing the president’s behavior in any of the books come as the teeniest bit of a surprise to informed individuals, labeling any of the books as a bombshell is classic hyperbole.

(Brain skip fixed.)
