This will of course get lost under the tidal wave of bull**** that comes every day from this garbage fire of an administration, but worth noting nonetheless.

In addition to his typical anti-CNN press attacks, he makes a direct and blatant call for a state run news media.

These of course, have always worked out wonderfully in history.

I’ve always joked that Trumpsters might be happier living in NK.

No doubt many will cheer this on and fantasize about there being s Chairman Trump.

Our president is not a very bright person to put it lightly…

I can totally see Trump trying to create his own radical, reality free “news” network when he leaves office.

FOX News is already basically state controlled media.

Or is it media controlled presidency?

Remember the good old days when Republicans were opposed to state run businesses, calling it socialism?

I wonder if he will couple that with an EO requiring every able American to watch a minimum of two hours every day.

Remember, trump doesn’t mind negative coverage as long as it’s fair!

But also maybe have a worldwide network that only reports what he wants?

Of course, no negative coverage is ever fair. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

They could call this state-run media “Truth.”

What’s the Russian word for truth? I forget. Oh yeah - “pravda.”

I’m just glad he hasn’t been texting us everyday after they gave him the ability.

Sarcastic hyperbole. Trump haters don’t get either sarcasm or hyperbole. They must really be confused when used together.

In any case, you gotta know there would be a Trump bashing thread forthcoming with Trump’s tongue in cheek remarks.

:rofl:

Yeah, the guy’s a riot.

Its more about the Trump haters than it is about Trump.
Reasonable people ignore most of what Trump says, going about their daily lives. Trump haters are obsessed with parsing every word out of Trump’s mouth so that they can work themselves into a frothing frenzy.

I can’t comprehend that kind of hatred for another human being.

Kind of his MO. When he says something particularly stupid, his supporters claim he was joking and he laughs it off.

If not for this Trump bashing thread, I never would have known about Trump’s comment. I simply don’t care, and most reasonable people don’t care either. Only Trump haters work themselves up over this kind of boisterous sarcasm.

Said it before, but it bears repeating: I don’t hate the man, I actually pity him.

I do hate, absolutely hate the fact, that this man is the POTUS.

No need for pity. I honestly believe Trump will win a second term and that he will be remembered as one of the great Presidents; similar to Reagan.
