      That guy needs to be removed from office immediately.

      Until recently, I agreed with you.

      Now, I want them to watch. Watch it all, all of it, every single minute of it.

            Given time, Trump will destroy everything that was ever good about the USA. But I don’t think rich people will care. Being rich in a poor country means the rich people actually have MORE power because human life is so cheap it is disposable. The rich and powerful don’t care if the US economy is destroyed as long as they are still rich afterward.

    Bitch, you might* be able to bar them from the white house, but you can’t keep anyone from filming you in public or wherever they allow press, or from reporting on you. Suck it up, crybaby bitch boy.

    *emphasis on “might”. Let’s see what the courts determine.

      So you think the US president barring the press from the white house is ok, provided a court determines so? You Americans really have a funny concept of what a “right” is

        They didn’t say it was ok, just that Trump might be able to do it. Trump is able to do lots of things that are stupid and wrong.

        Reading comprehension hard for non- Americans? Don’t understand the difference between the ability to do something and consent/support for doing so? Or just picking an argument for no fucking reason?

          Naturally. We Americans are the cradle of civilization. The very concept of “comprehension” was invented by us to begin with. Those outside the walls had to learn it second hand.

    It’d be hilarious if CNN and other news agencies did something that’d totally skewer and enrage the president in response to his bullshit: stop showing live footage / coverage of Trump, and instead just have either News anchors attempting to read his quotes word for word, or have something like a black lesbian actor portray Trump recreating his word soup speeches. Or maybe have it be cartoony animated re-enactments, similar to what we sometimes see come out of Asia. “Subtlety” emphasize things like his sleeping, shitting himself, hair issues, simp’ing for Harp, etc.

    A narcissist, having his public appearance clipped.

    Or maybe just officially partner with SNL to do skits for presidential news coverage. America’s a fuckin joke these days anyhow, may aswell embrace it.

      This is actually a really bad idea. During the election cycle, anchors would often quote Trump and Harris without showing direct clips because it allowed them to quickly convey the candidate’s positions and get into any commentary the broadcasters wanted to do.

      The results sanewashed Trump. Instead of long, meandering diatribes, the news was going, “Trump vowed to lower grocery prices on day one if elected. When pressed on how, he did not provide additional information.”

      Which sounds way more coherent and electable than anything that actually comes out of his mouth. The further removed from the direct source you are, the easier it is for people to dismiss the things he says and does as exaggerations by the news media when the truth is that the news media is underselling the madness.

        Oh, I’m not saying to shorten it or clean it up. Have them read the whole thing, word for word, as best they can.

        I think it was in his first term, for example, when foreign news translators were getting in trouble constantly for translating what he said directly – his drivel was such nonsense that people just couldn’t believe it, it all sounded so stupid. And without Trumps cadence, the stupidity stands out even more. If you add on to that an actor that’s the “wrong color” for Trumps pride, and make them stumble over his nonsense word choices, with the occasional “woops I’m shitting myself midspeech” facial expression thrown in for good measure…

        I mean, I’d be laughing pretty hard. And I’m sure Trump, if he saw that on multiple stations, would go totally off the deep end. It’s petty, and low brow, so I’m pretty sure he’d be able to understand it.

    He’s right. He should be in prison, and they should be covering serious things. None of us should be ‘here’ 🙃

    Such a fragile little man, that tiny-d donnie.

    They should retort - “by all rights, you should be in prison”.

    I wonder how our very fine president would feel if CNN wanted to talk to everyone at the UN except him. And if the other networks did the same.
