For more than six years, the media have set out to destroy President Trump with lies. Now there's a report that Trump is profiting like no other president by getting paid for appearances. Really?
For more than six years, the media have set out to destroy President Trump with lies. Now I see a report that Trump is profiting like no other president by getting paid for appearances.
Here's the New York Times:
Selling Trump: A Profitable Post-Presidency Like No Other
In early December, Donald Trump put on a tuxedo and boarded the private jet of a scrap-metal magnate and crypto-miner for a short flight across Florida, touching down at an airport in Naples. There, a long red carpet marked the pathway into a Christmas-decorated hangar filled with supporters of Trump who had paid $10,000 to $30,000 for the privilege of attending a party and taking a photo with him.
But the money raised did not go to Trump's political operation. Instead, Trump's share of the evening's proceeds went straight into his pocket, according to a person familiar with the arrangement.
It's as if the journalists have never heard of the Clintons or the Obamas.
The Clintons have sold their souls since Bill left office in 2001. Massive funds were paid to them for speaking fees or were donated to the Clinton slush-fund Foundation in return for political favors, including uranium for Russia.

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation.

Really tired of the pearl clutching.
This stuff should surprise no one anymore. The longer we pretend there is not a full assaults’ on our liberties and the media is nothing but a Goebbels Ministry of Truth on steroids the more oppressions and submission will be forced upon us.
The lying media have to cover for Hillary.
She’s their hero.
They can not afford to admit to years and years of lies.
I always thought the sacred duty of journalism was to accurately report and not to create news.
It’s all about the election. Newspapers have adopted as their sacred duty the destruction of Trump and the promotion of America-hating marxists. Once a lie has been published, it is later taken as absolute truth, and is quoted by other newspapers.
Trump stood up to the media and called them what they are.
They are the enemies of the people.
The only GOP entity or person to tell that simple truth.
The silver lining is nobody really believes the media, even when they hearing what they want to hear anymore because the MSM has systematically dismantled their own credibility year after year. This man seems to have the facts. The trials should be awesome.
I really like your attitude and your comments!
Totally agree. Further, the self-absorbed, arrogant, little narcissists who are the face of the media will not change their ways willingly. The only way to dislodge them from their destructive soapboxes is to continue to develop media alternatives that will render them obsolete. It’s coming, and as much as we can we need to expedite it.
All MSM and social media need to be shut down for sedition. Propaganda is ruining America.
It isn’t astounding at all.
Expecting even one molecule of integrity or truth from them, that is astounding.
It’s evil.
cnn is on its way to a course change, and msnbc will likely be the next. O’Keefe has the NYT by the nose hairs. Rittenhouse is likely going to start moving against a number of news entities.
They’re going to go after Trump as long as he is a likely candidate. That’s not news.
You are wrong. There are plenty of other non-politics discussion forums out there. I frequent a few of them, and by and large, the people that believe every word coming from the MSM is a large majority of the population.
We know the MSM lies, but we have to face that we are a minority. It’s a nice fantasy to believe that the right is changing minds, and waking people up to the lies, but it really is just a fantasy. There are two polar opposite world views right now, and the right is behind in enrollment.
What is my evidence? Well, what does the right control? They control no government apparatus, no social media, no big tech, no wheels of industry, no energy development, just nothing! The right wing is on the brink, and the deep state left is flexing globally to eradicate us once and for all. But, we’re ok with that as long as there’s a football or baseball game on tv.
A significant majority of people are simply followers who want to be popular with their circle of friends.
Propaganda works, very very well. Especially on an uneducated population that even if it wanted to perform independent thinking, isn’t capable of it.
The obvious solution is for Congress to pass a bill of attainder naming Trump (but no other former President), prohibiting him from making money from public appearances. If it goes to the Supreme Court, the three Trump appointees will be asked to recuse themselves so the Court will uphold it by a vote of 4-2.
Everyone else knows "all warfare is based on deception"...and the Media (with a few tiny but notable exceptions) is counted among the enemy.
That's why I totally ignore the msm. The sole exception is Fox and I take them with a grain of salt.
