I’m a little late on this, but we shouldn’t be surprised when Donald Trump acts like a thug. He is one. When Bloomberg News reporter Catherine Lucey asked him why didn’t he just release the Epstein files if he has nothing to hide, he replied, quiet, quiet, piggy. He didn’t want to answer the question because there is stuff in those Epstein files he desperately wants to cover up. That’s clear at this point.
In his meeting with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, MBS, ABC ⁓ reporter Mary Bruce tried to ask about findings of American intelligence that MBS directed the murder of Washington Post reporter Adnan Khashoggi and about the Trump family personally cashing in with the Saudis. Trump threatened to take away ABC’s license. Again, that’s because he was cozying up to a murder who is bestowing riches on his family. Couple thoughts about all this.
Trump is a bully and he particularly loves to pick on women who has contempt for a free press and the First Amendment. Temptations, at first when he says something like he did to Ms. Lucy was to say something to the effect of, ⁓ what did you say, Porky? But these reporters are too professional to do that.
It is critical however, that news organizations immediately defend their reporters and stand up to the bully. It’d be good if other legitimate reporters in those forums would follow up with the same question he doesn’t want to answer.
Oh how I pray that just one reporter asks: "Mr. President has your DOJ told you that you just committed a felony under federal law by threatening members of Congress?" Shake the Fxxxker UP damn it. Or when he lies, "Mr. President I represent FAKE NEWS so I would like to quote your last comment for my readers as the truth" OH PLEASE SOMEONE.
"Mr. President, I know you don't want to talk about epstein anymore. but what about Boris Epshytein, You just pardoned him in advance of being found guilty in a trial. You proactively pardoned him? What crimes are you aware of that he may have committed besides selling cabinet offices?" Can we talk about that EPSTEIN?" OH please please do that someone?
Pardon in advance of being found guilty?
Mr. President, right now if some crazy MAGA person were to bomb one of the senators homes that you said should be hung, will you pardon him?
Mr. President, your comment to the world that six congressmen should be hung has already generated over 1000 threats against them. So if someone kills one of the congressmen on your direction, will you pardon that person? I'm sure that potential killer would like to know in advance since you have pardoned killers before?
PLEASE PLEASE ask that. then the follow up? "Mr. Pedo, sorry President, do you feel any guilt that someone killed someone on your direction?
Was this the ILLEGAL direction of the commander in chief that should be followed since you gave a direct order to HANG THEM? or should someone "stand down" that it was in fact an illegal order and that you just committed a federal felony punishable by 10 years in prison"
PLEASE PLEASE ask these questions.
Trumps behavior suggests he is deranged. His disrespect and insults are a disgrace. His persistant assigning of names intend to diminish a person only diminishes himself. Other reporters should stand behind their colleague and ask the same questions of Trump.
