MSM should just play the clip of tRUMP and Billy Bush, then immediately follow it up with the televised apology (first for him lifetime??). Just put that on a loop when the liars in the WH attempt this weak propaganda.
The irony here is that the âGodlessâ Democrats are holding their members responsible for their actions while the âpiousâ Republicans allow theirs to blatantly lie. Theyâre more than happy to allow child molesters and predators into the halls of Congress and the White House.
They had pedophile Hastert running the show for eight years, so of course they do.
Sure, Trump is mentally unbalanced. Weâve all played the game of naming his symptoms and guessing at the labels. But itâs getting worse. Like Reagan, heâs drifting ever farther out to sea. There are still 3+ years left in his first term and he wants a second. This is an existential crisis for the country. We honestly might not make it past this Nero.
Trump was only quoting John OâKeefe and of course Steve Bannon at Breitbart and Sean Hannity at Faux. Those are the Three Stooges of the so caled real news main stream mediaâŚ
OâKeefe, Bannon, and Hannity: fake news central!
Yet nobody has done that. The freaking NYT ran his âprivate commentsâ basically unopposed. Even this article is presenting it as âhe said/she saidâŚwho you gonna believe?â
Its not just Trump attempting to gaslight the nation, the MSM is actively helping him gaslight usâŚ
This seems like the perfect opportunity to start playing the tape again so everyone knows what is being talked about.
Oh câmonâŚthe only âfake newsâ is that Trump is talking. He bashes CNN and pretends they are showing a âfakeâ face internationallyâŚhe pretends the tape is âfixedââŚhe lies about everything and the only topic for discussion is why people believe him at ALL.
It is mind-blowing that our president lies so so much and with such obvious disregard for the 50 percent of Americans who know better than to believe him. Iâve gotten used to the fact that somewhere around a third of voters are idiotic enough or deranged enough (or spiteful enough toward the rest of us) to believe him.
But it still drives me crazy that, at this point, so many in the media donât treat Trumpâs every utterance or Tweet as a lie. If someone lies to you more than 1,600 times in 300 days (according to WaPoâs count), youâre a damn fool if you treat anything he says as the truth ever again.
I donât see how this is a story we all know that tape is true. What would be useful is like a follow-up to the womenâs lawsuits against Trump.
The MSM are failing our nation and normalizing this bastard through their publications and stories. They canât handle having an aberrant president.
Itâs evidence of some kind of mental âissueâ that he is privately ânowâ arguing that the whole thing was fake.
Or his inability to just recognize ârealityâ that is uncomfortable for him. At the time people said it was the only time he âeverâ apologized.
Thatâs what Democrats always do, pshah. Republicans do the opposite. They say, âAccuse your opponent of that which you are most guilty.â Itâs called projection. And their base believes themâŚ
Either or both
I canât speak for the rest of the MSM, but MSNBC repeatedly played the clip of PP and Billy Bush on the bus followed by the apology. In fact, they made a point of showing him getting off the bus and flirting with the soap opera actress.
Donnie thinks he can warp reality, but the only thing warped are the minds of his die-hard supporters.
@daveyjones64 I think this goes in the âshocking but not surprisingâ category. Itâs totally in keeping with Trumpâs personality to drag people into his BS universe wherein heâs perfect, but itâs astounding with regards to outside observation. Major media are still grappling with the paradox.
To me, this is the real story. I donât even know if itâs a lie, or if his mental state is deteriorating so badly that he actually believes he didnât say those things and that he was set up. I think both scenarios are equally plausible and equally terrifying.
Access Hollywood = Russia distraction
worked last year, trotting it out again, donât bite, this does not need to be rehashed, we know what he said, there is no question
shiny object to distract the media from discussing Flynn sending him and his family to Leavenworth
