In the past two weeks you almost certainly have heard/seen the term “Collusion Delusion” used by various media people – either to defend President Trump against the charge that his campaign colluded with Russia or to sneer at the claim that he didn’t.
But where did that cute little rhyme-description come from?
I can’t swear I was the first to use it. But if I wasn’t, I must be pretty close.
I used it several times in February and March of this year – long before most. But, hey, that’s just a couple of months ago.
How about September 8, 2017 – over a year and a half ago?
That’s when I wrote a blog titled “THE COLLUSION DELUSION: ANOTHER PIECE FALLS APART”
Doubt me? Here’s the link.
I apologize for the immodesty. But, given how extensively the term is being used by now, if I actually am the first I’d like at least a minimal amount of recognition.
OK, self-promotion now over. Back to politics…where it is never over.
