Donald Trump Picked the Wrong News Editor to F*ck With

Donald Trump Picked the Wrong News Editor to F*ck With
Trump is going to war with The Washington Post,​ but he doesn't stand a chance against Marty Baron.

Holy hell, even I didn't know that He, Trump was dumb enough to cancel the credentials of The Washington Post.

...........

In response, Post editor Marty Baron, who once was sagacious enough to hire me, said,

"Donald Trump's decision to revoke The Washington Post's press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press," Baron wrote in a statement. "When coverage doesn't correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished. The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along – honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically, and unflinchingly. We're proud of our coverage, and we're going to keep at it."

If He, Trump wants additional clarification, I suggest he contact Bernard Cardinal Law at the Basilica of Our Lady Of The Clean Getaway in Rome. Or, if that's too much trouble, he can find out what can come of getting in Marty Baron's sights on-demand in whatever hotel room he's in tomorrow.

Jesus, what a moron.
