    I know the media demonizes trump religiously now, but its hard not to believe this is what trump would say. I don’t even need to hear the recording, which of course there is one. That dude has opinions of everything, especially of things he doesn’t understand.

      the media demonizes trump religiously

      Reporting what he says and does isn’t demonizing. Hell, if anything the mainstream media almost always goes easy on him with their fallacious “being neutral and also centrist is always being objective” dogma.

      True. Especially given the above and the fact that legacy media is risk-averse to an absolutely pathological degree with regards to making sure people, and Trump, can’t sue them.

      That dude has opinions of everything, especially of things he doesn’t understand.

      Yup, comes with the territory of being a malignant narcissist idiot savant self-promoter.

        Considering the level of awareness you elude mainstream of having, is it unreasonable to assume they are putting down all the details necessary to paint the worst picture possible?

      Most of the networks aren’t tongue-bathing his droopy old shriveled scrotum like Fox and other Russian state media organizations. That doesn’t mean they’re demonizing him.

      How does one demonize a demon? It was seriously maddening all those years. NBC tried to help him whitewash his reputation.

      Honestly, I’m both surprised and saddened to see how much the media is still holding back against him at this point. NBC and attached executives have a treasure trove of bigoted, sexist, racist things he said in the course of his whitewashing. But won’t release it. And this is the co-parent of one of the biggest center right media companies in the United States. MSNBC who’s still criticized Trump plenty. But they’re only still scratching the surface of just how evil and petty the man truly is. But as you say, it’s completely in character for the man to have said such things.

        You must see the clear irony of asking that question.

        My biggest pet peeve is the biased reporting done by mainstream. They’re potentially the direct most cause of polarization in america. We really don’t need polarization right now.

          Oh, the question was most assuredly sarcastic. And while I do blame the media for a lot of the polarization. Factually reporting on Trump isn’t polarization. It’s the last ditch too late effort to stop the coming fascism. That they helped set up.

          The polarization was them turning absolutely everything into an exhausting horse race. While at the same time. Absolutely failing to report properly and objectively about a million other different things over the last 50 to 60 years. Leading to a slow, rightward drift as they enabled their pay masters.
