President Donald Trump Allies Raising Millions To Investigate The Press | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Whats scary is the amount of his lemmings who think the news is fake!!!
Plenty of examples of “fake news,” Aaron. Only an ostrich would disagree.
@Wilma not the new York Times or the Washington Post etc, but the people paid to spread false stuff on social media etc! All the Russians Obama threw out and just have a look at Cambridge Analytica! sooo…. not sure if you’re an ostrich? Or just another Boris, who earns some Rubels… hm
@Klara Stern Your hero Mueller already shoved the rubel/Russian hoax up your backside. Find something else to fantasize about.
Journalism is freedom of speech. This fake president is a facist and must be stopped.
It aint free speech when your reporting false stories… The liberal media are flat out lying and twisting the truth.. Trump is 100% correct for doing this. Media is as corrupt as obama, clintons and bush
@S O exactly… The liberal media has shown what we all knew.. They work and report for the deepstate NWO. this isnt news. Its propaganda at its finest
cnn msn and other Democrat media networks are not news ! News is giving out the facts, Not their twisted interpretations of what might have also been meant by what was said. News is not their Jerry Springer show type opinions that they brain wash many of the weak minded with, telling them how they should think and feel about something . So, They really are FAKE NEWS ! and much much worse !
DUMP TRUMP 2020…..
Fake President trump
Don Williams I’m not a Democrat.
Jim Cox he’s reacting out of fear and hate. He’s not taking time to get things right.
Captain Swag Oh really? So which one had a RED Challenger?
DUMP THE MESHUGENE TRUMP IN 2020..
MAKE FACTS MATTER AGAIN!
Gravity Zero yes!!! Take press credentials away from op-ed media outlets.
Your facts?
Gee, sounds like deliberate attempts to interfere with and subjugate the free press. Constitutional lawyers are going to have a field day with this latest round of stupidity.
low key don’t be so sure . Thomas Jefferson created this democrat investment party his first words were a lie “we are all federalists we are all republicans “ , which was a lie . George Washington seen the writing on the wall as Thomas was an appeasing socialite. The first amendment only protects politicians for lying , it does not protect the press from lying – the first amendment does not protect the press from lying – lawyers do . That’s why Schiff came out lying for cnn about Russia collusion to soften the blow . The press would have you believe they are protected by the first amendment, for lying they are most not . George Washington made sure of that , as he seen the writing on the wall with Jefferson creating an investment democrat arm . When all is said and done no matter what happens if the democrat party completely crumbles. We will always end up back to George Washington’s republic- smart man was Washington. He predicted the democrat party would collapse. George Washingtons foundation and His white horse will always return to stabilise the country if the democrat party completely crumbles .
SkyGemini the president and politicians are aloud to lie set forth down in the first amendment- trump can lie all day it’s perfectly within his right . The press is not protected by the first amendment only politicians are aloud to lie
There is also no such thing as free speech and never has been – it’s a double up so media can ride the tail end thought of you thinking the media is protected by freedom of the press it’s a made up word , for which they are only guarded by “ addressing a public figure “ they show it on camera thus becomes a public figure thus they talk about it with restrictions on civilians- thus if you are standing in front of the Whitehouse protesting ( without violence) all you are doing is addressing a public figure, it’s no different to standing outside Kanye west house protesting his music because he is a public figure, thus protesting you are not protected by free speech only this an addressing a public figure, you are not protected by the first amendment- this is why some people when protesting if they aren’t even violent but distrubt traffic can go to jail if you are violent protesting you are definitely going to jail / you are only addressing a public figure when protesting , same thing as writing an authorised book .
@SkyGemini – Whatever ‘Dude’ has been smoking…
“Ain’t good fer ‘im.” 😏
So the rightwing is facilitating a tyrannical government(the thing they claim the scary left and Obama would do)
stoeger 2❔🛑
WTF are you talking about, stoeger 2?
BeBop Aloola because you’re losing?
‘….Chuck Todd discusses the president’s obsession – targeting the news media…..’
So, Chuck Todd and other journalists are not obsessed with targeting Donald Trump?
Is it 2020 yet? Can we vote him out yet?
@Aaron E oh yes, I’m a Christian but I’m like no Christian you’ve ever met. We are the watchmen. We stand between the darkness and the one’s we love. We sacrifice ourselves without hesitation or regret. We slay the monsters lurking in the darkness.
@Bill Johnson you sound like you need Jesus in your life bro.. Only war there will be is when trumps toupee fights for freedom off of trumps orange Head 🤣🤣🤣
@Bill Johnson and having wet dreams about a civil war isn’t a passion argument? You are talking about yourself too lol. You do realize that right? You are trying to sound smart and bipartisan but you sound like a terrorist. The same type of talk that’s proving everyone right but people like you. In 2020 Trump will lose. There will be no war. And the world will move on and forget about trump. But if you want to fight in a war so bad you can always join the army. 🤣 But we all know people like you dont fight for their country. You rather fight against it. Just like a terrorist.
@Dom Mischief What do you know about Jesus? You’re heathen scum. As for a War, it already started. It started when hippie scum like you started persicuting Christians. When you attempted to bankrupt our businesses because we refused to acknowledge your sodomite unions, when you tried to force us to pay for the slaughter of babies, when you tried to silence our speech, you started a war you can’t win.
Target defame and characterize Trump. Should take 5 mins.
Trump want to close every news channel and newspaper in the country. He want to be the only news in the land, that people”s should listen to. He words is law and you follow without question.
*Only* ‘Russian press’ *were allowed* to film #45 and Putin in July…as Putin joked about “…getting rid…” of reporters.
And #45 *laughed right along* with the former *KGB agent* who runs Russia.
*No* other American President *would’ve allowed* such insults to our country.
But #45 loves his -banker- -mentor- ‘like-minded leader’.
*So* embarrassing for America… 😒
he loves his Sugar Vladdy….thats why he;s always on his knees with Putin…blow jobs for cash
CynAnne1 Acosta would have just dicked it up by trying to be the news by asserting his opinion. Opinions are verifiable or news
No, Scientific. 🤨
We expected the Kremlin *to lie* about Jeff Mason’s question in Helsinki…we *didn’t* expect the WH to do the same shameful thing.👎
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/07/trump-putin-press-conference-transcript/565385/
#45 – *So* embarrassing for America…and pretty d*mn ‘unpatriotic’, really.
Trump would love to do away with a free press. The only thing ” fake ” is his administration.
@CynAnne1 I think it’s awesome that he fumbled on his words, what’s even better is how you people eat it up. Every little gaff is a huge deal for you guys lol. It’s awesome.
Vance Watley But the video’s that can been shown by running 10 seconds more before or after that shows a whole different saying is what by the “news”? If Trump LIES, yet the Fake new if he say 50 billion and the actual number is 49 billion…LIAR. Then when CNN, MSNBC, over and over has its employee’s on TV calling him a NAZI, White Supremist, Klansman, Racist and all the other IST and ISM words, along with guest saying they want to punch him, Trump should do what? NONE , NOT 1 of these dipshits saying this on these networks said anything close to that BEFORE he ran and won. NONE of them. Not like he came out of nowhere, he’s been known worldwide for decades.
Feel free to enjoy an irritable, rambling, outright *lying* pre-Alzheimer’s patient as much as you please, bau ol’ haus…
We just *aren’t* going to let him be President again. Sorry… 👋
trump keeps painting targets on the backs of anyone who disagrees with him, or just isn’t ‘enthusiastic’ enough about him. that is beyond dangerous, he is going to get some or all of them killed. this is what happens under communist regimes. this is unamerican and being perpetrated by an American potus… time to wake up people! (here it has become: first, they came for the immigrants, then the free press, etc.)
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
@Scientific Methodology i remember him, lol. that was back in my day! there are also some wonderful old, and new of course, comedies here on youtube. i have many favorites. just recently figured out how to set up a channel/playlists here and am slowly going back and adding many of them. still a bit clumsy with it but thankful that i don’t have to do my usual, i.e., hand it to my son and ask him to do it for me, lol. as to abortion, you are too intelligent to believe the nonsensical stereotypes, but i hesitate to consider you to be simply being disingenuous. i loved my babies right from the first moment that i knew of their existence. there is room in the democratic party for everyone. it is about keeping big government from deciding for us, respecting others. no one tells me what i can believe/which religion is ‘right’ (i’m a baptist, btw) or whether i can have children, etc.
mary jones I reject big government altogether which is one of the three principles that convinced me to leave the dems, and I love the lives of the as yet unborn (priciple #2). 3rd is my penchants for Austrian economics as opposed to the left’s Keynesian and MMT (Moder Monetary Theory) or unabated printing of “free money” to pay federal debt which I find utterly irresponsible and self defeating because it causes hyperinflation like we see in Venezuela right now.
@Scientific Methodology I think you answered your own question there lol. Reading through these comments is like taking a stroll through The Upside Down. It’s nuts. The center-left and conservatives of America are evidently all raving racists and homophobes now. People have lost their grip on reality if they cannot see how far left everything has drifted as of late. All they can do is shout the conservatives down and when that fails, they’ll name call.
bauhaus independence is all good.
Isn’t that fascism? Trumps team have gone crazy.
I call trashing people with opposing views, be it on a college campus, social media, or cable “news,” the road to fascism, and that’s the Left.
Riiiight, Wilma…that’s why *you* follow a ‘president’ who *’punches down’* every.single.day. 🤨
And who *enjoys hurting others* as often as possible.👎
@Wilma you can’t call the left every term out there. For decades republicans claimed dems were commies and socialists, which by definition made republicans fascists. You see communists are far left on the political spectrum, fascists are far right. So when for years you called the left commies, you were actually calling yourself fascist. I’m sorry you don’t understand these words, but it’s your own fault you refuse to educate yourself. Which is actually a symptom of fascism, your leaders use disinformation and double speak to leave people like you confused, angry, and terribly misinformed…
He’s hoping that, by 2020, he’ll be the only one allowed to announce the winner of the election.
United States can have a Dictator if the people aren’t careful. It always starts with putting judge’s that will do what they are told, so laws dont apply to everyone, then you try to control the News, change how many years you can be in power and there, Dictator. This Democracy is an Experiment, remember that.
Listen to Madeleine Albright’s definition of Fascism, how it begins quietly and piece by piece a person’s rights are taken from them. She wrote a book recently. Demeaning the free press is one of the very first ways it happens. Please, people, vote this President out of office if you respect and value your freedom of speech and freedom of your lives. Impeachment isn’t going to happen as long as the Senate has control. They decide.
Ha ha..so funny..look out your window..
He’s just copying again nothing original about Atgolf Twitler. Hitlers regime called it lugenpresse in English lying press, he just changed it to fake news.
Fake news FROM a fake president. He has always had people, he thinks are out to get him, investigated and/or sued. Why should anyone be surprised anymore. Vote him out
What allies ???? Trump has NO friends….!!!! he is FAKE NEWS the fat old gasbag….
Targeting the press is not funny and your targeting Americans 😂😂😂 one could say the same thing about the president targeting the president was not funny and he’s an American yet he and other Americans where spied on by American intelligence by the political power of 2015 and 16 That’s bigger than watergate!
claire – ‘When *even Cluster-Fox ‘News’* admits #45 *is guilty as sin* and should be charged’…👎😏👎
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/446015-fox-news-legal-analyst-mueller-basically-said-trump-would-have-been-indicted
He has many friends. Just for starters there’s Putin, Kim, or every millionaire and billionaire he bought with his ridiculous tax debacle. Those dudes aren’t on your side, they are on the side of money
@Karl Renner And the Republican Senate. They won’t impeach. We must stop acting like the President is just kidding and take seriously that he is leading this country in a direction that can’t be undone. Vote him out of office. Right?
Why does he need millions for investigating the media? I’m guessing he is just going to pocket the donations and spend a few thousand to have some paralegal look into it…😂😂😂
It’s the Russian way, discredit your detractors, putting is trumps hero. This country has definitely gone to the dogs, wake up call.
