USA Today Refuses to Apologize for Calling Trump 'Unfit to Clean Toilets'
Newsbusters ^ | April 20, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 04/20/2018 7:50:06 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Imagine a newspaper editorial board calling a president "unfit to clean toilets" and then a few months later inviting that same president to write a guest column about the economy on that same editorial page. Say what? 

And if you find that disconcerting so did Jake Novak, a CNBC senior columnist until March, who took USA Today to task for that on Tuesday. Novak reminded USA Today that he criticized them for going way over the line back in December right after their unhinged attack upon Trump. Then he wondered how that same editorial board could have Trump write a guest column this week sans an apology. 

To get an idea how extreme USA Today acted in their editorial, let us take a look at their December 12, 2017 editorial, Will Trump's lows ever hit rock bottom? with its highly inflammatory subtitle, A president who'd all but call a senator a whore is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine George W. Bush's shoes: Our view.

Is cleaning toilets honorable work? That’s something USA Today would know zip about.

I think you’re right, with a tweak.

I’d like to see others heralding what Trump has done.

It’s so bush-league that he’d have to remind folks of it, rather than others praise him for it, as they should.

Yes in that day and time He did things no other President had done or did after him considering who he had for a VP, Trump is fighting way different circumstances then Regan did.

I agree.

I do think Reagan had to make concessions regarding spending, but it was impressive what he was able to get done.

As you say, Trump faces a very strange set of circumstances, what with his own party thinking they have around 250 presidents on Capital Hill.

And then there’s the other Legislative branch, formerly known as the SCOTUS, and even the criminal justice system nationwide.

Truly. My son works for a custodial company. He does have to clean toilets sometimes. You know what? Those jobs will not be outsourced and are more difficult for AI. Doubt a “news”paper can say the same. Hard work should not be looked down upon. It should be applauded.

People who clean toilets are infinitely more respectable than people who sperg opinion on the pages of the ethical dumpster fires known as “newspapers”.

What's more, cleaning toilets is a useful job.

The only thing needed as USA Today swirls in the bowl of exstinktion is a double flush. The Left destroys the Press even with all the advantages they get.

Actually, USA may be on its way to bankruptcy. It used to be an interesting paper to read but it has gone so far to the Left that Tass/Izvestia/Pravda/RT TV would be jealous of it.

Also, I’m actually surprised to find out that the editorial board of USA know what a toilet it.

Maybe it’s because they are full of crap. Otherwise, it would be the Outhouse or Bushes (who they never liked either).

Agreed. But the condescending Left doesn’t care.
