And then start the goddam article as
President Donald Trump referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin" Wednesday, then seemingly tried to cover up the gaffe, which was one of several during Wednesday's press conference alongside Zelenskyy at Thursday's NATO summit in Turkey.
Come on, it's pretty obvious for the headline you put the "seemingly" in relation to an actual gaffe as some sick kind of presidential wiggle-room or something, and then, in the article, clumsily attempt to reassociate "seemingly" with an after-the-fact cover up. "Gaffe filled press conference" is the important story here, and it's already buried 2 "seemingly" deep.
Eventually you begin to wrap-up the article thusly
...The White House did not directly address the gaffes when asked by Forbes to explain them, and issued a statement from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defending Trump's performance at Wednesday's NATO summit.
Crucial Quote
"President Trump delivered a marathon, high-energy performance at the NATO summit, holding four separate press availabilities plus a solo press conference and taking unscripted questions from reporters on a wide range of topics," Leavitt said, adding, "The President commanded every room, gave our allies some much-needed tough love, and left the summit with a stronger NATO and more united free world."
Then we get some fucking Biden comparisons and end on a literal "tangent":
Tangent
Trump last received a physical in May at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. His physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, reported that he "remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function." He had gained 14 pounds since his physical in April 2025.
Among other obvious problems, this calls into question the integrity of the staff at Walter Reed, surely a big topic for further investigation? You know, "investigation", that weird shit some reporters used to do a long time ago. Why bother? Well, for one relevant example, a bit of "investigation" can do wonders at clearing up raftloads of "seemingly". Mr. Editor, please do better. Even at Yahoo!Forbes, the problem must be glaringly obvious. The actual president is on the verge of starting diplomatic crises with Spain, Denmark/Greenland, and Japan for fucks' sake, after starting one with Italy a couple weeks ago. This is important stuff, not a "tangent", when Trump may be one fit of late-night indigestion away from unilaterally withdrawing the USA from NATO -- yeah, so there's a law, good luck enforcing it.
Anyway, it sucks trying to get all that wool out of my eyes.
