I wish the press would simply get up and all walk away at one of these events, it would be funny to see just Fox News standing there all by themselves. Just refuse to cover anything he does.

I doubt it'll happen, Trump plays the media and they're infatuated with him.

Nah, he belittles his enemies and his base likes it and understand this is meaningless drivel for the left losers to whine about while America is flying high.

Don't you mean that you like his meaningless drivel, as you've already agreed you do. And you dodged my question.

Not dodging it, it is pointless. If the press lied about you day in and day out you may go so far as to say to one of the reporters that she isn't thinking (or any variety of things). Does this need to be explained?

What did that reporter lie about, be specific.

I have no idea what she specifically said in the past about Trump. But his comment "you" could be the leftist media or could be ABC as she is a representative of them both.

Honestly, if these are the types of things you guys have to complain about (and the pro-American trade deal, Trump creating equality in how VISA's for diplomats are used, etc.), then I know Trump is absolutely crushing it.

You have no idea? But you do know the reporter deserved it.

Keep sucking those trump balls!

If she's from ABC, NBC, and especially CNN, then it is likely his comments were justified in saying she never thinks. I'm sorry that comment hurt you so bad and hope through counselling and time you'll be ok.

This is no way for the President of the United States to behave. Unreal.

Some say making a snide comment to someone that is part of a known group of liars is no way for a president to behave. Some say giving Iran a hundred billion plus dollars is no way to behave. I know which one I prefer and is a non-issue to me.

Lately?

No, he's always been disrespectful to women, always.

Meaning it's been shifting from bashing minorities (rapists, ms-13, build the wall, NFL, etc) to much more bashing of women.

All of its there to some degree, but women seem to be getting the brunt of it lately.

Coincidentally or consequently, his poll numbers have been cratering among women this year, especially since Kav-bro.

A suicidal election strategy considering early voting is underway.

I can't imagine the type of existence this guy lives where he has nothing better to do than endlessly shill on an obscure forum for a fat 70 year old mentally deteriorating flesh bag. Strange world we live in where this is what people choose to do with their limited time.

My life is pretty good, I'm not the one that is butt hurt over Trump saying a reporter doesn't think.

Does this mean we are at DEFCON 1? That insult was over the top and I hope somebody claps back so hard that the interwebs break 2 times from the amount of shade.

The President is always attacked by biased media sources no matter who is in office. Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. I expect a level of professionalism from the leader of the free world regardless of what letter is behind their name.

Obama was attacked by angry racist crybabies for wearing a tan suit and doing his job on a daily basis.

Trump is being attacking by everyone with a functioning brain every time he does something hostile or stupid, which is multiple times per day.

Trump is lied about in the media over and over. I prefer the way Trump handles it. But regardless, soy boy anti-Trump types can get upset over window dressing, I'm worried about the things that matter. And where it matters, Trump is killing it. Calling liars a liar instead of being "professional" is just an added bonus.

What is wrong with you? With all of the Republican party? Morals do matter. Decorum does matter. Decency is important. How we act matters. Conservatives used to be for morals and decency. What happened to you? Why do you promote such base behavior?

I think Trump supporters are tired of dealing with a Dem party that has strayed left of common sense. You can get upset over Trump calling lying media types a liar, I care about things that matter. Do you think we don't get the government we deserve? At least Trump is transparent. I'll take him any day over your average politician like a Hillary Clinton, she'll say all the things you want to hear while quietly pushing a knife into our backs. But hey, her decorum, right?

After this incident I have decided I'm going to start archiving this shit off of youtube for historical records. If we survive this insanity we'll need accurate record of what transpired so that we can put it in history books for everybody to see. If we do not survive, Trumpism wins and we become North Korea like, we'll need unaltered records of what actually happened.

On my list to download is this clip, Ford/BK testimony, whatever Trump Pressers I can find including post Charlottesville and Helsinki, Vice report on Charlottesville nazis, 2016 presidential debates. Anything else you guys would recommend?

What do you think calls to question our survival? The roaring economy? The availability of jobs? The new and better trade deal with our neighbors? The zero new wars we're in? Trump called a reporter a liar?

Doesn't matter. This administration has been caught omitting facts in official records after Helsinki summit, and about this press conference. So far the free press has noticed discrepancies, called White House out on it, and forced them to correct the records. However, that depends on having free press and having accurate record of events. Honestly, would anyone have believed couple years ago that future president of the United States would be bragging about the size of his penis on national television? Would anyone have believed that he would call nazis "fine people"? That he would openly insult, mock, and threaten free press? I want to have a copy of important events in case White House will start falsifying records again. Facts matter. Proof of said facts matter. I want to have that proof to remind myself and others that these things did indeed happen and that anyone else trying to tell me otherwise is trying to rewrite the history. Trump already tried to claim that the "Access Hollywood" tape was doctored. I want to have first hand proof that it was real.

Fuck your feelings! Lock her up! The Free Press is the Enemy of the People!

They delight in Trump's assholery. He is their voice. None of which is deplorable at all, apparently. Cuz they's mad.

It's all quite 1984-ish, isn't it? They're trying to re-write History as fast as it happens. Because truth isn't truth. We're past that. We're post-truth with a vengeance, Baby!
