Trump demanded that the *Times* show obeisance to him *because he won the election,* perhaps providing an early glimpse of how he will seek to cow the media into submission.
Yikes this is pretty unsettling. It’s one thing to see Trump lash out at the media, but demanding obeisance from outlets like the NYT because he won the election ? That’s next-level authoritarian stuff. If this is a preview of how he’ll try to control the narrative moving forward, it’s definitely concerning. The media’s response will be crucial do they stand firm or buckle under the pressure?
What a whiny little bitch. This guy won an election he really shouldn’t have won, gets away with crimes that would have anyone else sent to Guantanamo, gets to golf all day every day, eat all the hamberders he wants, grift the shit out of the presidency, and he’s still mad about stuff like this? Just shut the fuck up already
The New York Times, and every other media outlet that normalized Donald Trump (which was all of them) deserve to suffer full consequences for their actions.
Trump is genuinely worse this time round. He’s older, more senile and angrier. Everyone who voted for him is about to realize how much hell they’ve unleashed.
Maybe if y’all called a spade a spade since Day 1…
He did this shit all the time during his first 4 years.
I recall a news conference where he stopped dead cold and told (likely a female reporter), “you don’t talk to me that way”, “I’m the president of the United States, you don’t speak to me that way”.
Nobody, except probably Jimmy Kimmel called him out on it.
“Don’t speak to me the same way I speak to everyone”, lol.
Such a man baby, no wonder 51% of the country relates. I wish he would “go away”.
When trump was elected the first time it was obvious he believed the Presidency was a virtual kingship, not a full time job, serving the people of the United States. This time around the Supreme Court has decided he was right and the Congress is unlikely to disabuse him of that belief.
His basest instincts, polished by decades of fawning media attention and made worse by encroaching dementia will be not just on display, but given power unless he oversteps and is reined in by his enablers and controllers (Leonard Leo andthe Heritage Society for example). I mourn this country, imperfect as it is, we were trying.
He literally said he will be a dictator on day one. That’s what you get for sane washing him through the election cycle. Enjoy it NYT because freedom of the press will be gone soon too. Lately, I’ve realized this sub is becoming lot like r/LeopardsAteMyFace.
America’s saving grace is that the man is awake for 14 hours a day and 10 of that is watching Fox and rage tweeting.
A halfway decent fascist would have me in a cage by now, and my great grandparents were born here.
“But, but we debased ourselves so much treating Trump like a normal opposition candidate!” – NYT.
News flash for the news outlets out there: trump is fucking unstable. We know this already. It’s not news, it’s lived history. We know what is coming because we have already seen the “so you think you can president” reality tv show before.
Spoilers alert for this season of the show:
1) he will pump and dump the economy which benefits the oligarchs
2) he will prove that his surface level understanding of anything is insufficient to be a decision maker. we will hear the phase “who knew X was so complicated” where X will be things like tariffs, the economy, healthcare, foreign policy, etc.
3) there will be many domestic crisis. Some self inflicted due to lack of knowledge about something or because he put someone in charge of something who is better suited as a mannequin in a Macy’s window display.
4) there will be one or more global crisis that requires a competent response to avoid tragedy but he will instead seek money making opportunities and political advantage.
5) there will be high turnover in the administration with a revolving door of highly incompetent stooges who have no business in any government position.
6) He will promise to deliver X in two weeks which will never come because he is a liar.
New this season:
* the majority of the functional part of government that affects people daily lives will be fired and replaced by incompetent stooges who swear allegiance to trump and have no other qualifications for jobs that really required skilled players.
I’m sure these upcoming holidays my hard R leaning relatives will also say Biden was just as “loud”, “obnoxious” and “ignorant”, but the “news outlets” shielded him.
Why is the news story about Drumpf’s reaction and never about the terrible thing he is being accused of. The news is 99% of the cause for this disease
Dictators always have very thin skin despite the bully boy postures. No such thing as ‘water off a duck’s back’ with the T$umpf.
This is just more WWF like bullshit. mango chaos doesn’t give a steam hot diaper filled fuck what people are saying as long as they’re talking about him.
He’s not even my concern anymore. He’s a lame duck (in theory) that the worst people are going to use as a vehicle to slide in and destroy this country from with the 2025 plan. The fact that people voted for this … well let’s just say I got my passport submission in yesterday cause boy am I disappointed.
Ah yes. I can’t wait to have another four years of this shithead being the only news worthy topic across any news platform.
The boomers want to leave this earth reminding us just how awful some of them can be. Honestly, I’m here for it. Give us all you got Trump! Let every generation to come have this disgusting sack of shit in our history books as a reminder. Be best!
i had the dumbest conversation with a MAGA mexican and i just can’t fathom their logic. i told them he was going after the media and their response was, if someone breaks into your house and tries to kill your wife you should be able to defend yourself. I was dumbstruck but just reminded him they are invited to press conferences and just write stories he doesn’t like. he insisted they broke into his house. when i asked for a source the media broke into his residence he pulled up pictures of the raid on mara lago… by the FBI. he insisted it was the media too and trump has a right to shoot them 3 years later.
i honestly don’t know what to say anymore.
Yet somehow people see this geriatric toddler as a REAL TOUGH MAN..
The New York Times deserves whatever’s coming for their sanewashing 🖕
This is only shocking if you never paid attention to trump
You know what, good. Let these media outlets get a taste of what’s to come during a Trump presidency again. They’re the ones who sane washed him and made people believe Biden and the democrats were a bad choice. And this was AFTER his train wreck of a first presidency where he constantly threatened reporters and news outlets. I hope Trump shuts every one of these fuckers down because it’s truly what they deserve
We fucking warned them. Media has spent 8 years sanewashing him. The media put him into office a second time.
I mean, it’s not like dictators in the past have done horrible things to journalists, right?
Hopefully people wise up soon and impeach/dismiss this stupid fucker
Maybe a heart attack?
The same NY Times that sane washed Trump’s campaign and criticized Harris for not doing interviews? I’m sure the NYT is looking forward to the next 4 years of click bait material
The New York Times will fall in line. All the media will fall in line eventually. Nothing in the American media’s behaviour during the campaign would have convinced me otherwise. American journalists, on the whole, seem to be the most sycophantic, lazy and weak snivelling cowards imaginable.
It’s nothing new, either. As a fun example from history, [here](https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno?aid=knz&datum=19380312&seite=1&zoom=33) is an Austrian newspaper from March 12th, 1938, urging its readers to vote “yes” in the Austrian independence referendum scheduled for the next day and to reject Germany’s expansion plans. In the end, that referendum never happened because Hitler [marched into Austria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss) that day and annexed the country into Germany. So [here’s](https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno?aid=knz&datum=19380316&seite=1&zoom=36) *that very same newspaper* a mere four days later on March 16th, now with a swastika in its masthead and a headline of “The Führer in the Austrian capital – Unbelievable Jubilation”.
My point is that throughout history journalists have chosen the path of least resistance when it would have mattered that they stand firm. And it’s already happening in the United States now. One of the worst and most depraved examples is obviously Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski immediately hurrying to Mar-a-Lago to bend the knee, but realistically, all the media will either continue to sanewash Trump or ramp it up another notch and try not to rock the boat too much, lest they find themselves at the receiving end of his wrath. They know which way the wind is blowing and will bend with it because they have zero integrity. I’d love to be proven wrong and for the media to find a spine and hold the Trump administration accountable. But I won’t hold my breath.
The media is complicit in Trump’s victory. Sensationalism mattered more to them than reporting the truth. So fuck them.
Blah, blah
Sane washing, complicit media outlet analyzes trends and gets an intern to scrape x and write an AI prompt and publishes it as an “article”
Fuck off, traitor
Tomorrow’s NYT headline should be “Bring it on you orange dickhead!”
Taunt the bastard. Light the torch of resistance in the media. Guarantee a whole lot of news organisations will join in.
The entire article can be “Yesterday, President-elect went on an unhinged rant because we dared report the truth about his creepy relationship with someone 50 years younger than him. We will not be bullied to lying for him. We will not be deterred from speaking the truth. Our duty is to the truth and the American people, not some want to be dictator. To stop us, he will have to undo the first ammendment, something he doesn’t dare do and something the American people will not tolerate. So to Trump, we say bring it on bitch.”
> Unnerving Hint
srsly?
Hint?
We all know what’s coming. His support is built entirely on bile, spite, and aggrieved wailings.
What’s coming is a horror show. Storming vengeance of deranged clowns.
we went from grandpa Joe to grandpa Trump. stop electing old ass mother fuckers
hint? *HINT?!*
He fucking TOLD US what’s coming! For years!
He’s just spent *nine fucking years* telling everybody loud and clear exactly who he is and what his authoritarian agenda entails.
Anybody who’s “unnerved” by this has been squatting in a mountain cave with their fingers in their ears and yelling “Lalalala” for the last 3,300 days.
Can he just shut the fuck up for 5 goddamn minutes. He won he’s getting everything he fucking wanted. He’s embezzled, raped, stole government secrets, and still became the president. He has EVERYTHING he could ever want he’s no shit a king to some and a god to others. Every fucking day I have to see and hear his name. Hell at this point I know the countries fucked. I just wish he’d shut his goddamn mouth like what the actual fuck is wrong with this man. Anyone who voted for this piece of shit is a jack ass.
