Dan Rather Shaded Trump With A "Turkish Proverb,"
Dan Rather has some choice words, or rather, a little proverb for President Donald Trump.
The veteran broadcast journalist and former “CBS Evening News” anchor seemed to hit a nerve Monday, sharing on Facebook a post aimed squarely at Trump’s tumultuous administration — to nearly one million likes and more than 60,000 comments.
“When a clown moves into a palace he doesn’t become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus. — Turkish proverb,” the post reads.
Rather also shared a recent article of his in the comments of Monday’s post about Trump’s steep international tariffs and the U.S. economy, seemingly confirming the proverb was about him.
