(In Trump's world being compared to CNN is the worst possible insult imaginable.)Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a "tenfold" increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2017
WTF? Did this orange tinted turd just threaten to have the FCC look into repealing NBC's license because they told a truth that he did not want told?With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2017
Oh, you KNOW it's the truth when the pussy grabber gets this bent out of shape.
Here is how the New York Times reported on this story:
He repeated his complaint later in the day when reporters arrived to cover his meeting with the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau. “It is frankly disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write,” Mr. Trump said.
The comments immediately drew criticism that the president was using his office to undermine First Amendment guarantees of free speech and free press. And, in fact, the networks themselves — and their news departments — do not hold federal licenses, though individual affiliates do.
“Broadcast licenses are a public trust,” said Tom Wheeler, who until January was chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, appointed by President Barack Obama. “They’re not a political toy, which is what he’s trying to do here.”
In suggesting that a broadcast network’s license be targeted because of its coverage, Mr. Trump once again evoked the Watergate era when President Richard M. Nixon told advisers to make it difficult for The Washington Post to renew the F.C.C. license for a Florida television station it owned. A businessman with ties to Mr. Nixon filed paperwork to challenge The Post’s ownership of the station. The Justice Department under Mr. Nixon also filed antitrust charges against the three major television networks.
I think the Times compared Trump to Nixon because they did not want to just come out and make the Hitler comparison that most of us are already making in our heads.
However I don't have a problem making the comparison because it is indeed the correct comparison.
Trump LOVES dictators and wants to be one in the worst way.
The only thing stopping him is the media that he despises to much, and the 65% of the country that think he is a fucking lunatic.
Update: Doubling down.
I wonder if Donald Trump has ever said a stupid thing that he did not decide to make stupider?Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked. Not fair to public!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2017

Hire a vet or a MilSpouse.
Trump can't be bothered to make a statement about the four Green Berets killed in Niger by ISIS. He didn't even meet the coffins when they were shipped back to Dover AF Base because he was busy playing golf with Miss Lindsey. Where is Trey Gowdy screaming for a Benghazi style investigation of the deaths? Oh, it sure is different when the hypocritical Republicans are in office.

DeleteKelly is monitoring him, but Trump wants to move him on. If he can do that he may feel free.
Is there anyone else to try and contain Trump with the nuclear weapons?
Interesting all the celebrity types who are continuing to support Trump. They may know he is terribly unstable but he is their man to get things done (so they believe).
Time is running out. So, the Generals carry Trump out in his straight jacket, Pence steps in. How much better will that make things?
DeleteToo many Americans are suicidal now. The Russsians may own Pence by now, it is hard to believe he means improvements for USA. Different, but not improved.

“It is frankly disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write,” Mr. Trump said.

The rest of America, stand up: We love our military and we love our country, but we fucking hate Trump.”

Ah well. When you think of it. America was never going to take. It started out on hypocrisy. This land is my land, this land is your land, just so they could justify Native American killings. Then the slavery situation. The reason the whites are fighting back with all they got is they are afraid of the black people's rage. They know it's there. It's South Africa here in America.
ReplyDeleteEvery immigrant in this country and that means all of you know this country was built on a house of cards.

“I HATE EVERYONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!”: TRUMP SEETHES AS ADVISERS FEAR THE PRESIDENT IS “UNRAVELING”
In recent days, I’ve spoken with a half dozen prominent Republicans and Trump advisers, and they all describe a White House in crisis as advisers struggle to contain a president that seems to be increasingly unfocused and consumed by dark moods.

it is coming clear to him that his presidency is not only falling apart, it never began. people are not worshiping him. no one is doing as he says. Obama was beloved and did a great deal of good work. while he is hated more and more each day. he wanted the job, he got it. he can either clean up his act, resign, or be removed because no one wants him, except for the idiot section, and their getting fed up, too. their is no shame in stepping down, to say it's beyond me. i had to do it once because i didn't have the proper education. that's all he has to say and do.

Trump Threatens to Pull NBC Off the Air Over Scathing Story
ReplyDeleteLuckily, he doesn’t have the power to do anything about it.
...Many were quick to point out that Trump’s tweet was a toothless threat. NBC doesn’t get granted a single license, nor does any national television network; only individual local stations get licenses from the F.C.C., and are subject to review every eight years. Trump could not challenge all the licenses NBC holds at once. Instead, individuals who live in areas where local channels air would have to submit their own complaints. Nevertheless, the president’s antagonism toward the media, which carries distinctly authoritarian undertones, could undercut U.S. advocacy for press freedom in parts of the world where media outlets are on a much tighter leash.

Many people in the WHite house believe that Trump is breaking down, and in fact may be losing his grip on reality.
ReplyDeleteI found this comment by someone at this link on C&L which lays out exactly why this may be happening to Trump, because of the extreme stress and pressure of high office

Comment:
Most of the time dementia isn't recognized until late in its course, until the patient has lacunar memory loss and disorientation. In its earlier stages, the patient, and the people around them, learn to compensate for the gradually worsening difficulty learning new material and dealing with a hectic schedule. They make the schedule less hectic, they avoid the need to learn new things.
One of the occurrences that can throw an early to middle stage dementia into decompensation and force a recognition of the disease relatively early, is a change in work or living circumstances. The old supports that compensated for the failing power to keep up with new developments are ripped away, and the patient no longer has the capacity to devise and execute a new support system appropriate to the changed circumstances. The old system was built up gradually, step by step, the earlier stages when the patient wasn't as far gone and was capable of at least some active role in building the necessary support system. But a sudden change, if big enough, would require the sort of fundamental rethinking of every life and work arrangement that is now simply beyond the patient. The result is that a person who yesterday seemed reasonably in control, maybe not moving forward at as fast a pace as before, but still in control, today is completely decompensated.
Trump made a huge mistake in leaving the relatively unchallenging life and work environment he had built for himself over decades, in order to take on the hardest job in the known universe. Anyone, even a workaholic genius at the top of his or her game, would have trouble adjusting to the new demands of this job. But Trump is just flailing. Instead of settling in and achieving some level of control in his new environment, even a Dubya level of control over his own WH, Trump just becomes less and less functional by the day.
Trump isn't suddenly or dramatically more demented than he was last week, or last month, or last year. He's had this disease a long time. It's just that now he's managed to leave the environment he evolved over decades to support his progressive cognitive failings, in order to enter the most hostile environment imaginable for someone with failing mental powers.7
He has violated his oath of office (again) by failing to support and defend the Constitution. Instead he is attacking and undermining it.
ReplyDeleteIMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!

ReplyDeleteTrump is a lousy actor. His show was boring. And today his show is disgustingly criminal. I don't care to bash another human but this man is causing problems not just in his own family but the entire country and world. He is a mess. America prays for relief from this toxic mess. Republicans? would you please remove this fraud from the people's building.
ReplyDeleteWow. Holy Moly too much. From that long long long elevator down to insanity mr trump and foundation exposed the mentally sick crazy world of the rich and famous. All the money in the world cannot buy health, happiness, respect, honor, peace nor ethical journalist.
