Donald Trump just said something truly terrifying
CNN Politics ^ | July 25, 2018 | Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

If you blinked, you might have missed it.

At a speech in Kansas City to the VFW annual convention on Tuesday, President Donald Trump -- amid one of his trademark anti-media rants -- said this (emphasis mine):

"Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."

I know I keep saying this, BUT: That is an absolutely remarkable thing for any elected leader to say -- especially when that leader is the most powerful person in the country. And I know I keep saying this too, BUT: That the President not only thinks like that but feels emboldened enough to utter it to a crowd of people -- with cameras broadcasting it around the country -- is downright scary....

“That is an absolutely remarkable thing for any elected leader to say”

After 30 years of people rolling their eyes at me for saying the same thing, I couldn’t be happier that we finally have a president who tells the truth.

I don’t know how we’re going to rid ourselves of these filthy, lying, media swine, but it can’t happen soon enough for me.

Remove CNN broadcasting from all our nation’s airports and they’d struggle to keep their heads above water.

They seem to be broadcasting more and more in fast-food places. They’re on in my local McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s.

That “willing to do absolutely anything” mindset is a bit worrisome. One has to have faith that Donald Trump’s private security and the SS together is ahead of anything that might happen.

This CNN piece is really preposterous -- coming from the guy who may have run the definitive "fake news" report from the 2016 election campaign:

Can we just stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s health now? -- by Chris Cillizza, Washington Post (9/6/2016)

Five days later, Clinton was getting tossed into her Scooby-Van after collapsing at the 9/11 memorial service in New York City.

The press is like this: Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times in his career!!!! FIVE TIMES he led the American League in strikeouts!!!! As a pitcher he was TWICE in top ten in wild pitches!!!!

You’d NEVER know from the media about Ruth’s home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage, and all his other positive stats and accomplishments.

Hey Chris!

YOU are NOT the author of reality!

We are not obliged to accept your bias interpretation of events.

Your persistent LIES have earned the skepticism that Trump invites.
