    Someone needs to try the Deadpool communication style with him. The more he tells you to shut up the more you keep talking.

    Pretty tame for Trump. Is that even news anymore? I just assumed he told them to be quiet on a daily basis.

    Imagine Obama saying something like this to a reporter. People would have lost their god damn minds.

    Now we just accept this horrible behavior. I’m so fucking tired of this fuck-ass world.

      Now we just accept this horrible behavior

      Here’s the thing, when a Democrat inevitably wins, we will suddenly no longer accept this behavior. It’ll happen twice as fast if it’s a woman or person of color.

        So true. I remember when Biden made a speech in which he called out authoritarianism, and lots and lots of pearls were clutched about how it was his speech that had the authoritarian overtones. Much of it was from the unhinged right of course, but also reactionary centrists.

        FFS.

          The moral of the story is to stop assuming centrists are telling us the truth, and to focus on winning leftist votes instead.

      I don’t accept it but I’m not in a position to do anything about it. Let’s not forget this turd has many many enablers.

    funny how he only seems to react this way towards FEMALE reporters.

    I mean, he’s a dick to reporters in general, but he only directly insults or tells women to shut up… you’d think that would make people not like him… on account of him being a raging misogynistic rapist and all that… but, no.

    Jeez, it’s not like she asked about all the pedophelia he did, or how hard he’s losing in Iran, or how weak he looks with Xi and Putin…

    What a wuss

    .@POTUS: “I love an open, free press. What I don’t like is a fake press.”

    Literally 1984.

      Story time! When I was in college I was the Opinion Editor of our paper and also had a weekly column. Without getting into the specifics and making this post longer than it needs to be (but am happy to share the full story if folks want), I wrote a piece straight up calling out a blatantly racist stance that my university took. It got some back-and-forth from students, but surprisingly I didn’t get any notable reaction from the administration. I was a senior that year and graduated a few months later.

      Found out that, at the start of the next academic year, the university president deigned to darken the door of the newspaper office to meet with all the staff. He slapped my article onto the table and told everyone present “this will not happen again. From here on out, every article you publish will be both factual and pro-university.” He later reconfigured the entire paper into a “magazine” that was effectively a PR rag.

      Anyway, this quote and the university president’s are basically the same. They’re oxymoronic. Conservatives LOVE doublethink.
