Trump ramps up criticism of press: 'In six years, they all go BUST!'

Source: The Hill



BY AVERY ANAPOL - 02/20/19 07:46 AM EST

President Trump in an early morning tweet on Wednesday launched another attack on the press, predicting that media organizations will “all go bust” when he leaves office.




Trump did not point to any specific reporting in his criticism which comes after a lengthy New York Times report detailed his efforts to privately influence investigations into him and his presidency.

The Times reported that Trump sought to place a top ally in charge of an investigation into his former attorney, Michael Cohen.

The president denied the report, calling it “fake news.” The White House declined to comment to the Times before the report was published.

He knows he' about to go broke when all his criminality is on display and he's being held accountable under the law and so he says his enemies are going broke. NYT is making all time profits so he's dropped that line (Failing NYT) and is now saying, well, "they" will all fail in 6 years Wonder if Vlad baby told him he'd ruin them within 6 years, that's an awfully specific timeframe. Like he's saying Russia has the fix in and will 100% steal the office for him again and also do something to destroy our press? Wonder what those fuckheads have in mind, or is orange assmouth just riffing again?

The Orange King”s entire tweet is a jumble of hypocrisy (or a precursor to the future)
1. “The press has never been more dishonest than it is today.” Says the crook who is trying to divert the rule of law at any opportunity with no regard for the Constitution. Coverups, etc.
2. “Stories have no basis in fact.” Neither does anything this goof of a King can spit up. I don’t think we need to extrapolate this point. He wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in his 300 pound ass.
3. “The writers don’t even call and ask for verification.” So what. I’ve rarely seen the idiot back up anything he says with any verifiable source whatsoever. All he does is dodge the issue because it’s all bullshit coming out of his mouth, and he knows it.
4. “They are totally out of control.” This from an alleged “leader” who has the word “panic” tattooed to his ass. His paranoia is on display like bad fart. Who’s out of control?
5 “In six years they all go bust.” This is what scares me the most. Remember the Clinton email predictions? Has Vlad given him a timeline? Should we be moving our investments out of the country? Is the entire rePuglican party in on the action?

His entire diatribe is insulting, freightening, hypocritical, childish, and unbecoming of the supposed leader of the free world. Take this tweet seriously, as there may be more here than meets the eye.

tear him 500 new ones. Her rally chants have to be “On the scale! On the scale! One the scale! On the scale!” And “Where’s his taxes? Where’s his taxes?” And “Cheated with a porn star! Cheated with a porn star!” And “Hundred And thirty! Hundred and thirty!” And “Pee tape, urine trouble! Pee tape, urine trouble!” Followed by “Pee tape, putin’s Boy! Pee tape, putin’s Boy!” These last two will be female voices for the first two words, male for the last two.

Wives: “PEE TAPE!” Husbands:”URINE TROUBLE!”
Wives: “PEE TAPE!” Husbands: “PUTIN’S BOY!”
