Donald Trump, bully in chief “YES, IT is going to be like this”

“YES, IT is going to be like this,” Donald Trump said during a news conference Tuesday, after a reporter asked if he would be as hostile to legitimate scrutiny once elected as he is now. His honesty offered a bracing counterpoint to the pusillanimous Republican leaders who continue to insist that the reality-television star would be different once in office.

There is only one thing Trump might be wrong about. He says: "We will win so much that you will get tired of winning". I'm not sure about that.

He can do it if we help him. We have what might be the last opportunity to save some of what makes America better than any place on earth. But if we decide to get nitpicky about every little thing and take up for some Congressional idiot or National Review imbecile when they make one little valid point, it won't work.

Trump is not going to be perfect. Reagan wasn't perfect. But now is not the time for perfect. We all need to be as loud as we can in our support for Trump while he fights against the rot in this country. If he gets something wrong, he still needs our support, because otherwise they are going to eat him alive when they find a weakness.

I think this is something thing that the most hellbent Cruzers don't get. We have to take our best shot at saving the country now, and work out the details ourselves, without letting the media and Soros and Hollywood and radical Islam tell us how to live.

obama’s pressers were cozy weren’t they? Reporters knew they had to tread lightly.. I never heard a serious question given to him ... but I didn’t watch those pressers... I cannot stand to look at him or hear his lecture/teacher voice. The reporters knew if they asked out of line, they’d get a visit from the IRS or some arm of the government obama used to keep them in line.
And Trump is a bully? Well, they thought since he’s just an average joe out there, they could mess with him... and didn’t turn out to be the case. Reporters were critiquing themselves yesterday.. poor things.. mistreated by the Donald... (it’s the media that are the bullies!)

‘”YES, IT is going to be like this,”

Made my day.’

__________________________________

Trump plays the media like a fiddle.

They challenge him on his vet donations, hoping to raise doubts among the public about his honesty, and what does he do? He waits. He waits until they have dug themselves a deep enough hole, and spun up the story to the point that everyone is paying attention...

Then he counter punches. He uses the platform they’ve created to hold a press conference and say not less than a dozen times “We’ve raised almost 6 million dollars, and there’s more still coming in. I think we’re going to end up over 6 million when all is said and done.” Then he holds the reporters at bay while he reads a list of at least 2 dozen veteran groups, and the amount of money each received.

When they cry foul and ask if they are “always going to be treated like this” he says YES.

Love it.

Trump should have said “get back to me when you have thoroughly investigated The Clinton Foundation funding”.

The Lamestream Media is aghast that there is a Republican who pushes back and calls them on their B.S. They’ve never seen one before!

The public, and the candidates, get to define “legitimate”, not the press. Not any more.

“Well they deserve it after 8 years of toadying up to Obama.”

They deserve it after:

Throwing their whole-hearted support behind the USSR in the Cold War.
Pimping for Kennedy, our worst president (Until Carter).
Betraying the human race with their Vietnam propaganda.
Facilitating the lynching of Richard Nixon.
Pimping for Carter, our worst president (Until Clinton).
Bashing Reagan constantly with crapweasel lies.
Pimping for Clinton, our worst president (Until Obama).
Lying constantly about Dub.
Pimping for Obama, our worst president (ever).
Bashing Trump constantly with crapweasel lies.
Et cetera.

“........the legitimate role of a free press in a free society and the importance of an independent judiciary.”........

“Free press”.....means HONESTY in reporting, not lies and false reporting.

The “judiciary” is supposed to be unbiased as well, there needs to be considerable soul searching by a lot of the so-called “un-biased” judges in this country.

The media is finally being called on the carpet and I don’t blame but applaude Trump for telling it like it is.

Doesn’t Trump know anything? As a Republican nominee he’s supposed to stand and take it like a girl from the press then spend two or three days in seclusion and then come out and apologize. Period. He’s not supposed to fight back. That’s the playbook the MSM are going by and Trump’s NOT following the rules. No fair! /s

Gayle, Oprah's friend reading the news and providing liberal color on CBS "This morning" commented this morning that people watched Trump's Presser yesterday "with their mouths open." She meant that her ilk couldn't believe what they were seeing, they were disgusted, shocked and surprised - that's how they feel

For some strange reason the media assumes we are on their side and will be outraged if Trump keeps showing them for the wicked, deceitful, DNC propaganda organs they really are.

They probably think we are cheering for ISIS, too.
