Trump Confronts Media Flip-Flop [Now able to relate to Palin & Bachmann in a way few others can]
NewsMax ^ | May 2, 2011 | James Hirsen

The mainstream media news coverage has undergone a bizarre transformation in relation to Donald Trump.

It is as if someone flipped a switch, causing The Donald to go from media buddy to media target in a New York minute. Unfortunately, Trump is now able to relate to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann in a way few others can.

Trump has been attacked by mainstream anchors and Hollywood celebrities alike. Bob Schieffer and David Letterman called him a racist. Lawrence O’Donnell called him a monster. Cher used the word “pompous” along with an expletive to describe him.

Now Trump has suffered an assault from the president himself.

One thing is clear, and that is the real estate mogul and “Celebrity Apprentice” TV host isn’t going to just stand there and be slapped around. Showing exactly why he has soared in recent polls, Trump is hitting back hard.....

The media, Democrats and Mr. Obama think that they've put Mr. Trump in his place with a few insulting comedy riffs? Are they that stupid? They haven't destroyed Governor Palin either. Not even close!

what I kept thinking throughout this was how many taxpayer dollars were used to pay someone to write Obama’s jokes?

That dog won't hunt. The media is having a lovefest with Trump compared to the treatment of Palin.

Anyone who says the treatment of Trump and Palin is comparable is either lying or lying to themself.

What a tangled web they weave, for the sole purpose of stopping Sarah.

Trump and Palin do not fit into any category together. They are not alike in any way.

Well of course...
Trump dared the UNTHINKABLE, he DARED to cross his Democrat Masters, go against the current groupthink, and that just cannot be allowed to stand.

He joins the long list of Democrat Emanuel Goldstein’s as just the newest enemy of the Obamunist State.

NOTE TO THE ANTI-TRUMP CROWD:

The man has a BIG ego and he does NOT like to lose.

Example: The Correspondence Dinner only encouraged Trump to stay in. He's that type of man. Antagonize him at your own peril.

If you keep posting anti-Trump articles with the intention of getting him to quit. You're doing just the opposite.

If we want him to step out, it's going to be done another way. It's gotta be approached in a much more intelligent way. Trump is NOT a politician who will step down for reasons politicians would step down and he's got the money to to stay in.

Trump in his gold lame pajamas lying in bed with his laptop, trolling FreeRepublic.com, taking notes and vowing to show us all.

Don't be silly. Trump does not sleep. He pays someone to do it for him.

The scariest thing about the media is:

They don't try to hide it anymore. They openly go after whoever might challenge Barry.

And when they are done, they go after Fox News because they don't regurgitate the bias.

When the POTUS and the MSM are afraid of the TRUTH...we are in real trouble.

We are in REAL trouble.

Boo-Hoo-Hoo for Trump.

The more time the media spends complaining about Trump the less time they have going after conservatives.
