Fascinating that none of his crack team could find it online. It took me one second.*

Morans!

*Does this qualify me to be a District judge in Alabama?

The Chinese try this every time. It’s a test of will and principle. Letting them dictate press access is an embarrassing capitulation. https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/928494673668296704

Translated: “Respecting Chinese tradition while in their country is embarrassing, and is an insult to my dignity. America First! What can’t the Chinese understand that?”

So does that mean the Filipinos are smart enough not to broadcast Faux News?

@yskov “By the way, if that’s a recent picture, he looks like death warmed over.”

I thought so too. But then he’s been working sooo hard. All kinds of shit going down at home, and he knows it’s flowing in his direction. And only one (?) round of golf.

Oh, his hosts really dropped the ball with that. Or maybe they were busy, you know, governing and shit.

Does it really matter what Trump “says”? It’s all BS anyway.

He was trying to hawk US military hardware to the Vietnamese. That’s small potatoes. The Chinese would gladly buy all the US military hardware Trump offered them and pay cash.

Speaking of fake news, Shep actually explains the Uranium One story.

I find it shocking that a country which claims to be as modern and democratic as the Philippines has only one channel available on their television. I blame MacArthur.

Cheeto Donnie forced to watch CNN

I have every confidence that the cracker-jack editors at Fox News will be able to re-imagine this report to produce something more in line with their larger narrative when used in the “some have reported” assertions to be broadcast on prime-time programming at a later date.

if that’s a recent picture, he looks like death warmed over.

I believe that photo is from his arrival at the WH last night. He’s all jet-lagged from that horrible long trip in the economy seats. Oh, wait. He took the plane with the private bedroom.

The She-Huck saw Shep Smith’s takedown of the “Uranium One” tale, so she told DJT that Fox wasn’t available. The Shep story would have BLOWN HIS MIND.

Dictatoirs always hate a free and open media. Followers of dictators will support such anti-American and anti-Constitutional protections!

Stop mislabeling Trump and his base and the Republicans as so called “conservatives”. They are NOT conservatives. They are neo-nazi supporters and that is why they are attacking the press and that is why they support and buy into Putin!

True Conservatives and Patriots support a free press that reports fact based news regardless of ideology. Cble news should be under the same rules as broadcast news and print news…stop allowing Fox, Breitbart, and other propaganda right wing outlets from getting a free pass on their made up and opinionated news. Too many Americans are being brain washed.

Walter Cronkite and honest Abe Lincoln are rolling in their Graves over Trump and how he’s debasing America!
