Trump throws a fit after "fake news station" CNN refuses to air his "positive message"

[Miles Archer]

President Donald Trump’s campaign apparatus on Tuesday lashed out at CNN for allegedly refusing to air a commercial touting accomplishments made in the president’s first 100 days.

The 30-second ad, which began airing on Monday, praises Trump for the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and for proposing the “biggest tax cut plan in history.” It also blasts the media, flashing the words “FAKE NEWS” over the faces of anchors, reporters and broadcasters.

“Americans also are far from convinced that Trump’s first 100 days have been a success,” CNN said. “A CNN/ORC poll found that the President reached the milestone with the lowest approval rating of any newly-elected president at this stage amid sharp partisan divides and a failure to capitalize on post-election strengths.”

“CNN requested that the advertiser remove the false graphic that the mainstream media is ‘fake news’,” a statement from the network said. “The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false and per policy will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted.”

4. Will he run ads when people lose access to the internet or Energy Star ratings

or healthcare because they have preexisting conditions and GA and NC and IA and MS allows health insurers to charge anything they want?

6. At the end: "Paid for by Donald J. Trump for President"

Running fucking campaign ads, holding rallies. WTF? Doesn't he know that he is already in office?

(I know, registering a new campaign is a money-laundering thing that he set up as soon as he was sworn in, but still...)

7. Good Grief

He has he mental maturity of a 5 year old. Lots of republicans are already against him. We just need a bit more to get him out of there on psychological grounds.

with a big disclaimer suggesting that now might be a good time for a bathroom visit.
