Trump: 'Disgusting' press able to write whatever it wants

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Wednesday said it is "disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write" during remarks from the Oval Office, with Canadian Prime Mininister Justin Trudeu sitting by his side.

Trump was asked about a report from NBC News that claimed he’d sought to dramatically expand the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Trump called the report “fake news” and said a ten-fold increase in the U.S. nuclear arsenal would be “totally unnecessary” and that he merely wants U.S. weapons programs to be in “tip top shape.”

“It is frankly disgusting the press is able to write whatever it wants to write,” Trump said.

My parents are dead heads from pretty far back and I was lucky enough to be raised with the music. They took me to see The Other Ones, RatDog etc. I'm seeing dead and company for the second time next month. Got to meet Bob Weir backstage back in like 2007 and talked guitars a little bit. Never got to see Jerry though, I was only 4 when he passed.

have calculated the figures and found that 45 "makes false statements (aka LIES)an average 5 times a day".

He is allowed to do whatever he wants without repercussions and has done so for 71 years. He feels superior and untouchable since he always has gotten away with this behavior. His children are the same way.

he himself is doing. Mark it down. If he says someone else is doing it, that is a tell that he is up to that very thing. He is without shame or remorse. His lies are little and big. He lies when the truth would serve him better. He assumes everyone else is afflicted with his predisposition to lie. I said it before and will say it again. WHEN is someone going to call him out on his lies straight to his ugly mug? I want to see him blow a gasket on live TV. Now that would be must see TV.

I want desperately to see him go off the rails in a huge display and on live TV. He would finally get the ratings that he craves. I want to see doctors and police contain him in a way similar to Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs.

I have a good imagination. I would like for him to have such a hideous breakdown, sniveling, crying, screaming, cursing, etc so his most ardent supporters see what they voted for. They have NO IDEA what they have foisted off on the world and they need to have it shoved in their faces so they know what they did. They have defended him, made excuses for him and I am sick to death of their willful blindness to tRump’s obvious flaws.

So while the cameras run, with full sound, I want him to show us what he is like behind closed doors. We’re heard the rumors, now let us see for ourselves how unraveled he is. Then maybe enough people will be horrified and will demand that Congress dust off the 25th amendment and put it into motion.

I can’t figure out how thry’ve allowed this to drag on so long. What are they waiting to happen? Do we have to see Kelly and Maddis rolling around on the rug in the Oval Office struggling to subdue & restrain tRump? 😳

Well, whatever it takes to subdue him. I told my husband yesterday that there is probably a hypodermic hidden in the White House filled with a powerful horse tranquilizer just in case tRump starts flinging poo around the Oval Office and making mud pies. They probably have the men in white coats on speed dial ready to cart him off to be restrained and locked up.

Wed Oct 11, 2017, 04:36 PM
Oct 2017

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

supremecy clause: Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What this means is the Constitution of the United States..and its amendments..(see First Amendment) are the supreme law of the land. It comes before any other law or law maker. Therefore, the First Amendment comes before any law maker, President, state, or any ass**le in the government, (state or federal) that thinks he runs things.

The First Amendment is very powerful. "..NO LAW ABRIDGING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND OF THE PRESS."..."OR THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE AND PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.."

Simply put, the President is bound by the Constitution and the First Amendment.. He must follow it, he does not make the law, the Constitution is the law. The.. "SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND"

Trump is much too stupid to realize this.........Courts have historically ruled for the First Amendment.

What a sniveling, despicable, pathetic piece of work

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
