Donald Trump has convinced millions that the lengthy Mueller investigation produced no evidence of collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, or of obstruction into the investigation by Trump himself. He accomplished this deft sleight-of-hand by tweeting “NO OBSTRUCTION! NO COLLUSION!” with the ardency of a lab rat requesting cocaine pellets.
In fact, endlessly repeating the same lie is a hallmark of Trumpism—and it’s about the only evidence we have that Trump is capable of mounting a disciplined response to anything. So the fact that The New York Times and The Washington Post both won Pulitzer Prizes for their deep dives into the Russia collusion story has remained a thorn in Trump’s wee greasy paw for some time now.
He’s whined about it endlessly, going so far as to write a letter to the interim administrator of the Pulitzer demanding that the awards be rescinded. Well, the Pulitzer Prize Board just completed a review of those prizes, and suffice to say, the flying monkeys in Trump’s head are flinging straw in pretty much every direction right about now, because the board has upheld its original decision.
