All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

He thought he could ban CNN from being in his presence? lol. lmao.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 101 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Literally I think he believed that by denying them press credentials, he was killing the network outright.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Just narcissist things.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 139 points 1 month ago

Such a fragile little man, that tiny-d donnie.

They should retort - "by all rights, you should be in prison".

He's right. He should be in prison, and they should be covering serious things. None of us should be 'here' 🙃

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Exactly this.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'd settle for him being face down in a shallow ditch.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 58 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every question to this piece of human garbage should start with as a Pedo and conman how would you ....

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It'd be great if others in the press would start doing things like [cough]BABY![cough] and [cough]MANCHILD![cough] when he has a little outburst.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

What a stupid man-child.

“I banned you from the White House. That means you can’t cover me anywhere I go!”

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 33 points 1 month ago

Come get your Alzheimer's president, Republicans,. he's confused about where he is again.

[–] Corvidae@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Former Federal Judge J. Michael Luttig recently said Trump is desperate and acting like a trapped animal.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish the trap involved a spike pit.

It'd be hilarious if CNN and other news agencies did something that'd totally skewer and enrage the president in response to his bullshit: stop showing live footage / coverage of Trump, and instead just have either News anchors attempting to read his quotes word for word, or have something like a black lesbian actor portray Trump recreating his word soup speeches. Or maybe have it be cartoony animated re-enactments, similar to what we sometimes see come out of Asia. "Subtlety" emphasize things like his sleeping, shitting himself, hair issues, simp'ing for Harp, etc.

A narcissist, having his public appearance clipped.

Or maybe just officially partner with SNL to do skits for presidential news coverage. America's a fuckin joke these days anyhow, may aswell embrace it.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is actually a really bad idea. During the election cycle, anchors would often quote Trump and Harris without showing direct clips because it allowed them to quickly convey the candidate's positions and get into any commentary the broadcasters wanted to do.

The results sanewashed Trump. Instead of long, meandering diatribes, the news was going, "Trump vowed to lower grocery prices on day one if elected. When pressed on how, he did not provide additional information."

Which sounds way more coherent and electable than anything that actually comes out of his mouth. The further removed from the direct source you are, the easier it is for people to dismiss the things he says and does as exaggerations by the news media when the truth is that the news media is underselling the madness.

[–] wampus@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Oh, I'm not saying to shorten it or clean it up. Have them read the whole thing, word for word, as best they can.

I think it was in his first term, for example, when foreign news translators were getting in trouble constantly for translating what he said directly -- his drivel was such nonsense that people just couldn't believe it, it all sounded so stupid. And without Trumps cadence, the stupidity stands out even more. If you add on to that an actor that's the "wrong color" for Trumps pride, and make them stumble over his nonsense word choices, with the occasional "woops I'm shitting myself midspeech" facial expression thrown in for good measure...

I mean, I'd be laughing pretty hard. And I'm sure Trump, if he saw that on multiple stations, would go totally off the deep end. It's petty, and low brow, so I'm pretty sure he'd be able to understand it.

I think networks should just start splicing in helicopter noises whenever this guy opens his mouth.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The moron always was doing "chopper talk" anyway, so seems appropriate.

That guy needs to be removed from office immediately.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That guy needs to be removed from office immediately.

Until recently, I agreed with you.

Now, I want them to watch. Watch it all, all of it, every single minute of it.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Now, I want them to watch.

“Them” who?

Bitch, you might* be able to bar them from the white house, but you can't keep anyone from filming you in public or wherever they allow press, or from reporting on you. Suck it up, crybaby bitch boy.

*emphasis on "might". Let's see what the courts determine.

I honestly want him to keep behaving like that, there are still some idiots that believe in him, i want tham all broken and ready to make the right decision next time otherwise we'll have another jan 6 incident.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i want tham all broken and ready to make the right decision next time

They won't, their brains are literally incapable of functioning in a way that results in a correct decision. Biden should have finished the job after the first Jan. 6 incident.

Seems like the punishment for Treason isn't what it used to be...

You even get to be president again. Well, if you are a Republican. IOKIYAR.

These are the apes that think corporate media is or was "liberal". I'm sure they think all of this is deserved because they were "fake news".

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 18 points 1 month ago

I wonder how our very fine president would feel if CNN wanted to talk to everyone at the UN except him. And if the other networks did the same.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 15 points 1 month ago

"When will it end?" Collins asked the president.

Answer the question, Donald.

I'm surprised he remembered. Guess he was Lucid at the time.
