Trump Wants To Punish Anyone Who Doesn't Like Him

Well boo hoo, Trumplethinskin! He wants to punish those who criticize him with the FACTS? Lawrence O'Donnell and many of the hosts who have the FACTS and present them in ways people can understand them are paying attention. Is it any wonder why his approvals keep dropping? 37% is still way too high, while his disapproval ratings keep rising. The Jeffrey Epstein story is not going away anytime soon.

The president has turned his eyes towards the biggest platform for criticism: the media.


Donald Trump is aggressively escalating his pressure campaign on media he doesn’t approve of.

When The Wall Street Journal — whose parent company is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a billionaire and powerful Trump ally — published a news story about Trump’s ties to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week, the president openly admitted that he had tried to get the story killed.

“I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn’t print this Fake Story,” Trump posted on Truth Social, the social media app he owns. “But he did, and now I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper.”
