So trumpy wants the head of CNN Fired

[brettdale]

How far away are we from thousands of his supporters, marching to CNN, and getting violent.

Is anyone actually worried about the November elections, and what Trumpy might do if the Dems
have a good night?

1. And Zucker gave Trump his start on The Apprentice

Trump truly is an insufferable ingrate

The "getting violent" part plays right into tRumphole's hand. He wants us to do that so he can shake his righteous finger and condemn the public's frustration with his dictatorship. That is precisely what we cannot do.

Resist? Yes. Protest? Yes. Petition? Yes. Vote Democratic? Absolutely.

thousands of his supporters

I didn't think there were many Trump supporter here on DU

10. Violence begets violence in return.

Who would his supporters be getting violent against? A protective response by those who don't agree with tRump or his supporters would be the object of his scorn. He, of course, would claim his people are merely defending their almighty tRump from the "fake news" media. Any response to their violence would be condemned.

This reverts to another post I made on a different thread today. To wit:

47. The liar calls everyone else liars. He's demented.
All his talk about violence is his overt way of suggesting and inciting violence. He creates the very hate crimes he lyingly says he deplores. He's encouraging - no, commanding - his base to rise up in anger to provoke those who don't adore him. He won't be satisfied until he can watch the uproar and blame others for that which he started. He's dangerous and needs to be removed before lives are lost.

4. He may not notice or care

but I don't see the lack of deference to Trump/GOP by all of the major cable news stations (i.e. CNN). They don't strongly challenge or push back to him and still give him and his KKK rallies lots and lots of coverage that they don't deserve. They're pretty much all Trump/GOP could want them to be, so what's the problem?

11. I watch CNN and MSNBC nightly.

They once covered his rallies completely; lately they have been cutting back and showing excerpts after the fact. Their commentators openly mock tRump and laugh at his absurdities as well as point out and challenge his lies. Hayes, Maddow, O'Donnell, Williams, Cooper, Cuomo, Lemon...every one rebuffs him daily. Deference to tRump? Uh uh.

13. Ok

I don’t have access to cable news, so maybe I’m out of step with how things are really going. That’s just how it has seemed to me. If the worm has turned, then good. I just see a lot of tweets and FB posts from at least CNN that seem to still feed into Trump’s paranoid fantasies and delusions by seriously entertaining his BS.

5. His followers are too lazy and stoopid to march. However a lone nut,

Emboldened by Trumpy, could show up

7. yup...

8. That's what I'm most afraid of... the lone zealot with a rifle and high-capacity mags

blasting his way into CNN headquarters and mowing people down.

I believe there are plenty of MAGA troglodytes out there who are ready to die for TRUMP. It's just a matter of time I'm afraid.

9. Hope everyone is staying alert. N/t

6. Zucker created his TV persona, fed him every line, gave him a free ride into the White House

and of course got himself giant promotions and pay raises in the process

12. This is madness!!!!

If any other president had called for a private citizen to be fired the way Trump has, they'd be looking at impeachment faster than you could blink! So why does Trump get a pass?
