Did yesterday's NY Time's article get to Trump?




(BTW Joe Stalin was big into using the term "the enemy of the people." Is Trump trying to get people killed?)

Trump Has Publicly Attacked the Russia Investigation More Than 1,100 Times

Trump Has Publicly Attacked the Russia Investigation More Than 1,100 Times
By LARRY BUCHANAN and KAREN YOURISH
FEB. 19, 2019

The attacks, which number nearly 1,200, are part of a strategy to beat back the investigations. They have also opened him to possible obstruction of justice charges. They include statements made on Twitter, in official speeches, at rallies and during news media interviews and other press events.

While it is highly unusual for anyone — let alone the president of the United States — to comment on continuing criminal investigations, Mr. Trump has done so at least once on 330 days, or more than 43 percent of his time in office as of Feb. 14.

Trump's DICKTATOR behavior is becoming even more desperate. Which means that the New York Times and Washington Post are going to be even more upfront about exposing Trump as the THREAT he is to this country, what this country stands for, and the corruption that is the heart of this Administration.

Trump wants a war with the media, he will get one and it will not be pretty. The 1st Amendment granting Freedom of the Press without Governmental retribution or interference when grievances are presented shall not be abdridged. The people will take to the streets in front of the White House and Halls of Congress. If it hasn't started already.

"Mr. Trump has said that Russian meddling was fabricated “as an excuse by
the Democrats as to why Crooked Hillary Clinton” lost." from the article

Trump knows that Mueller, Schiff, and others will show that "Hillary lost" and he
"won" because of Russian actions and traitors inside of America.

In Soviet Union, so-called enemies of the people were send in concentration camps or executed.

her spouse, Justice Thomas, mused yesterday that perhaps it was time to start challenging the libel laws in the United States. This morning the old orange cuck began rage tweeting about the Times and calling them the "enemy of the people". Well, I guess that's what he had to resort to since he's probably afraid to have his crack legal team file a libel lawsuit against the Times. Afraid he'd lose in court.

... subject, or move on like nothing happened. It was and still is treason and we had a
coup. BTW @ services for my Father last Saturday I spoke to many very prominent
colleagues of dad in Poly Psy and one of them said that the truth will knock down Trump's
base from about 40% to 25% but that 25% is rock solid and that 25% will always be
there because of racism and fear of change.

... produced how they think. Trump has given them permission to be proud to use
the terms n****r, f*g, and that Hillary was a d**e b***h with a liberal agenda who
had to be stopped and in doing so they are fighting the good fight about having to be
politically correct. Trump knows what he is doing when he flashes his "white power"
gang sign.

We should not spend one dime or one second in trying to reach out to those people and
wait for them to die or for their farms to go under as they have to plow their crops under
because President Fuck Nutz's trade deals.
