Meanwhile -- Trump attacks US reporter defending the Prince.

What an absolute cunt!

Not talking about Mary Bruce.

Of course MBS says he didn't know anything about Khashoggi's murder. Our intelligence community has said otherwise for years.

Trump's expanded his business empire biggly in the kingdom this year.

He'll blow MBS in Macy's window if MBS asks.

Today, he was just a cunt in front of the whole world. Just embarrassing. As an American I am ashamed of this loser.

Trump attacks ABC News correspondent Mary Bruce in angry response to three sharp questions


President Donald Trump berated an ABC reporter Tuesday after she asked a question about the release of the Epstein files, calling her “a terrible person and a terrible reporter” and threatening to have the FCC look into revoking the network’s license.


NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump denounced ABC News’ Mary Bruce as a “terrible reporter” Tuesday and threatened the network’s license to broadcast after she asked him three sharp questions at the White House.

The network’s chief White House correspondent was among reporters let into the Oval Office to question the president and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. She asked Trump whether it was appropriate for his family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while he was president.

Before he could answer, she directed a question to the Saudi leader: “Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? And the same to you, Mr. President.”

After asking Bruce who she worked for, Trump called ABC “fake news” and defended his family’s business operations in Saudi Arabia.

The president dismissed the U.S. intelligence findings that the prince likely had some culpability in the 2018 killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi kingdom. He said “a lot of people didn’t like” Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen and a Virginia resident.

For his part, Prince Mohammed said Khashoggi’s death was painful and “a huge mistake.”

Trump later criticized Bruce for asking the prince a “horrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question.” He laced into her after a third query, about why the White House is waiting for congressional action to release more details about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s correspondence. “Why not just do it now?” Bruce asked.


“It’s not the question that I mind,” Trump said. “It’s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It’s the way you ask these questions.”

After addressing the Epstein question, he returned to Bruce, saying that “people are wise to your hoax.”


“I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong,” he said. “And we have a great (FCC) commissioner, the chairman, who should look at that because I think when you come in and you’re 97% negative to Trump. And then Trump wins the election in a landslide. That means, obviously, your news is not credible. And you’re not credible as a reporter.”

ABC News had no comment Tuesday on Trump’s statements, which referred to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who leads the federal agency responsible for licensing local broadcast stations.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg News issued a comment on Trump referring to one of its reporters, Catherine Lucey, as “piggy” during a question-and-answer session last Friday on Air Force One.

“Our White House journalists perform a vital public service, asking questions without fear or favor,” Bloomberg News said. “We remain focused on reporting issues of public interest fairly and accurately.”

I suppose our local MAGAdoodles support murderous dictators, just like their lord god.

Unbelievable what he did and said, Diaper Don at his best.

For decades, Americans were viewed by the rest of the world as vulgar.

Now, they just view us as stupid assholes.

After all the support Biden gave Putin and Xi you focused on an off topic question (thread hijack by ABC) by a reporter who has no authority to pursue justice. What would she do if Trump had called her out? Jump on someone with diplomatic immunity, slap him around, waterboarding him, put a hot lamp in his face (I think you can still get incandescent lamps at estate sales)... Her question was just grandstanding and offensive under the circumstances. So many people complain that Trump does not act like a president but they excuse the media for boorish behavior.

It’s the job of the press to ask uncomfortable questions, sometimes more than once. It’s the job of the politician to keep his cool and act like an adult.

Trump however is a liar and an asshole and acts like an asshole quite often.

His supporters appear to expect this and in some cases are pleased that he gets away with his atrocious behavior.

Reporters are invited to the White House. They have no right to be there. As people like to say, there is a certain decorum that should be respected. A few years back President Joe Biden was angry at one.of his staffers for being insulting to a reporter. A week later Joes was caught on a hot mike calling Steve Doocey's wife a bitch. Presidents can do it, reporters can't. The rules of the left.

That's the story here, not Trump being an asshole. You don't get off the hook so easily by crying about the media. The media didn't kill Khashoggi. The media didn't riddle the 2016 election with disinformation. The media reports the news. Twitler, his jackbooted thugs and his despotic friends (and partners) mmake it.

Maybe "you MAGAs" need to explain why you support this LOSER.

2016, do I really have to introduce you to reality? Misinformation (a made up word that Orwell would have loved) is the middle name of the democrat party.
