Title: Trump's reality in the media: Damned if you do; Damned if you don't
Post by: Flapp_Jackson on May 04, 2025, 12:11:23 PM
Article one:
2-year-old U.S. citizen apparently removed from the
country 'with no meaningful process,' judge says

The child's mother was being deported and wanted to take the girl,
U.S. lawyers said. When the judge asked to speak to her, they were
already in the air.

Article two:
A Mother and Father Were Deported.
What Happened to Their Toddler?

The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old
to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their
daughter remains somewhere in the United States.

is it any wonder the main stream media has lower ratings than Cartoon Network?

The media over played their hand.  Since anything he does will get negative fake news headlines, he can do what ever he wants and not have to worry about public opinion as much.

I agree, the media are shooting themselves in the foot with their slanted coverage. All they need to do is play video of Trump saying stupid things and let him speak for himself.

Moderator: How do you govern a sovereign entity?
GW: You govern a sovereign entity, like how you would any sovereign entity. Through sovernantity (made up word). (Then looks with a serious blank stare back at the moderator).

Here is another example of Trump being right again.
This was a prediction that came true years later. It's No surprise.

Not quite what I was getting at. I meant that Trump says enough dumb stuff to risk sinking himself, they don't need to add spin to it. But yes, they should play all such videos of all presidents without spin.

In fact I think such videos really hurt Kamala Harris' chance at being president. Everyone could see her dimness for themselves.

What are you getting at?  Or are you now trying to backtrack cause I mentioned every POTUS says dumb things.

I never backtracked anything and I never said you said I said "only trump says stupid things".
Not everything is about you.

Wow, now you're adding in more imagination. Show me where I mentioned you backtracking?

Please show me where I said:

 that you said:     I said that you said "only trump says stupid things".

See what happens when you refuse to admit you're wrong again.  You begin imaging things like backtracking.

You can't even stick to the subject of a debate, you play whataboutism by bringing up other presidents stupid comments as if it somehow has anything to do with Trump's stupid comments.

So you cannot show where I said X, Y , or Z.  Thanks for playing and again, not admitting that they don't exist.
