Part 2 of 2

Other factual errors with Southey's piece include the claim that the Trump family is "collectively attempting to run the United States now." In fact, Ms. Trump and her husband are the only members of the President's family directly involved in the administration. The two eldest sons are in New York running the real estate empire, the youngest daughter is still in university, while Trump's wife is also in New York tending to their pre-teen son.

Next up, Southey claims that the media is largely printing "puff-pieces" of the Trump family, which is by far the most unhinged assertion in the entire op-ed. Even the most vitriolic Trump critics cannot reasonably deny that there are numerous major media entities on TV and in print almost exclusively devoted to providing negative coverage of the Trumps, with CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post being the most obvious examples.
