He’s such a wonderful guy. 

 

 

 

Don Jr. is a next-level prick.

 

It's not good enough that he's been given every conceivable advantage in life and has never had to work hard for anything in his life.

 

He's got to be a pompous, inflammatory ass with an extremely inflated sense of self, just like dear old dad, too.

This reminds me of a personal experience I had once.  

 

I once had a really really bad neighbor that pretty much terrorized everyone in the neighborhood. It was so bad that the local paper called everyone in the neighborhood to find out what was going on.  We all told stories of our real experiences.

 

Well, after the report came out, the neighbors from hell sued all of us.  It ultimately went to mediation with all of us sitting around a big room with our lawyers.  It went back and forth with little bickering...I got tired of watching my legal bill climb so finally I asked, "Why the hell am I being sued for something I have a constitutional right to do?  If you don't want me to tell people the idiotic things you are doing, stop doing idiotic things."

 

The meeting ended abruptly with their lawyer indicating they were dropping the lawsuit.

 

Fact is, if Trump wants favorable news, stop doing idiotic and embarrassing things and stop lying through his friggen teeth ever time he speaks or goes on twitter.  I fully expect the news media to cover statements he makes that are blatantly untrue or idiotic.

The vast majority of his tweets and speeches are him attacking other people or lying about something.  You don't expect the news media to cover statements the President makes?

 

Great story. I like your response!  Glad you got off the hook.

 

Your neighbor sounds like a nightmare. What a petty attempt at a cash grab.

Why do some unethically act like the press has an obligation to cover Trump 50/50 positive/negative?

 

He's a reprehensible person doing reprehensible things:

  • Widespread tax fraud exposed
  • Updates on campaign finance crimes
  • Acosta saga
    • Childish response to journalist
    • WH publishing doctored video
    • Revoking press credentials
  • Heartless tweets re: California fires
  • Accusing voter fraud without evidence (again)
  • Appointing Acting AG obviously to protect him
  • WW1 Anniversary
    • Travels to France on taxpayer dime
    • Doesn't partake in planned remembrance because of light rain
      • Merkel and Macron do, because they're not soft
    • Instead, tweets re: California fires
  • Manufactured pre-election INVASION drama, abruptly disregarded after election
  • Berated WH press April Ryan for legitimate question re: Whitaker
  • During midterm campaigns, claims Democrats are party trying to do away with pre-existing condition coverage (idiot or ignorant?)
  • (I'm sure I missed something...)

Honestly, has Trump done anything good lately?

More to the point: the press is supposed to hold the government accountable. We should be more angered by the press NOT taking an adversarial stance against the government regardless of party or political affiliation.

well...putin gives him a thumbs up.   but then again....in russia that thumbs up literally means "up yours" so maybe something is lost in translation.
