Donald Trump Is Driving the Media Nuts

Donald Trump’s term in office is only four-weeks old but he’s got the liberal media and Hollywood elites losing their collective minds. It’s hard to keep track of all the nasty accusations they’ve made.

On Trump’s temporary travel limits, they’ve charged he’s echoed “Nazi” language in his effort to “turn off that lamp on the Statue of Liberty,” that has resulted in a reaction that, as Huffington Post’s Howard Fineman concluded, “Osama Bin Laden, himself, would have prayed for.”

Chuck Todd and Dan Rather have claimed he’s currently mired in a scandal on the levels of Iran-Contra and Watergate.

The media have also questioned Trump’s mental stability. FNC’s Shephard Smith ranted “It’s crazy what we’re watching every day,” MSNBC contributor Christopher Dickey warned his viewers “people in European governments think that Trump has lost his mind,” former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann charged “I don’t believe him sane, flatly,” and The View co-host Joy Behar asked Dr. Phil “Do you think that’s a mental illness, narcissism, and if so is he fit to be president?”

The outrage over Trump has gotten so-out-of hand, some in the press are even fearing for their very lives as MSNBC correspondent Katy Tur worried: “Since 2000, been a couple dozen suspicious deaths of journalists in Russia who came out against the government there. Donald Trump has made no secret about going after journalists and his distaste for any news that doesn’t agree with him here. Do you find that this is a dangerous path he is heading down?”

Ailes liked Shep because of Shep's histrionics when covering breaking news.

But Ailes is now gone.

The guy who was foaming at the mouth over BUSHITLER for years on end.

Now there is no war, but the Dems sure seem to want to start one with Russia. I wouldn’t take the bait.

"Chris Wallace.....must have a lot of guilt going on."

Chris Wallace (who went bonkers with antipathy interviewing Reince Priebus on TV yesterday obviously has a lot of hidden anger, unhappiness and, yes, guilt deep inside him.

He had a tumultuous life growing up, his grandparents were poor Russian Jewish immigrants. Their son (Chris' father) was TV personality Mike Wallace. Mike Wallace had four wives and three divorces, suffered from clinical depression, attempted suicide in 1986, and was sued along with CBS by General Westmoreland in a famous libel suit (settled out of court because libeler Mike was going to lose).

Chris Wallace himself has one divorce so far....and is currently married to the ex-wife of comedian Dick Smothers of the Smothers Brothers.

He will be 70 next birthday. His net worth is approx $6 million and his annual salary from Fox is $1 million.

He has been a registered NY Democrat for two decades.

“FNC’s Shephard Smith ranted “It’s crazy what we’re watching every day,””

That’s self analysis on Shep’s part. It’s crazy that we are stuck watching Shep Smith every day.
