Fox News Has Spent All Day Begging Donald Trump Not to Tweet About the Mueller IndictmentsBy Justin Peters OCT. 30 2017 3:15 PM
Its been a big news day thus far, especially for Fox News, which has had to simultaneously report on the charges brought by special prosecutor Robert Mueller and spin that news to deflect attention away from President Donald Trump.
Fox News, as an entity, really wants to create plausible distance between the Trump campaign/administration and Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, and George Papadopoulos. Their work on this would be made easier if Trump would agree to shut up on Twitter.
Fox has been adamant Monday that Donald Trump should absolutely not tweet about the Mueller investigation and the Manafort indictment. The networks hosts and guests have made this point at least four separate times on four separate shows.

* many republicans actually do refer to Comrade Casino, the ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, as their freaking "god-emperor." Super sad.

Disturbing to me. I never remember anything like this even with Bush. Yes Fox was a cheerleader for Bush but there was no feedback relationship.

Melania looks like she's about to jump out of her tightly laced skin.
He's not happy today at all.
