Amazing! ESPN, a major establishment media company co-owned by Disney, put former President Donald Trump on the air and let him push voters to a website that the Republican National Committee loves so much, they fund it! Can you believe it?

What’s that? You can’t?

Well, good for you. Because it never happened, of course. What did happen was basically the opposite of that — which, sadly, makes it much more believable.

What actually happened is that, during “Monday Night Football” yesterday, former President Barack Obama put in an appearance that was half get-out-the-vote effort, half promo for “Manningcast,” an ESPN2 show hosted by brothers Peyton and Eli Manning that sometimes runs concurrently with the game.
