I just read a fascinating article in the NYTimes. Starting with the title, "Trump Pushes Dark Vision of Islam to Center of US Policy-Making," it couches itself as a critique of the Trump administration's anti-Islam position. Yet I can't think of when I have read a better promotion of those ideas. It's a long form version of the rhetorical device apophasis: "I will not give substance to the rumor of my opponent's alcoholism."  https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/01/us/politics/donald-trump-islam.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=b-lede-package-regionŽion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news#permid=21332836 Modified by aunt bea at Thu, Feb 02, 2017, 11:33:09
