Donald Trump fires announcer who has covered the Inauguration since Ike (1957)

[turbinetree]

is a absolute jerk


Trump transition spokesman Boris Epshteyn said Brotman will be honored as "announcer chairman emeritus."

1. Just poison mean.

I don't get it. It is just being mean for no purpose.

[Girard442]

7. There is a purpose, unfortunately.

Think of Trump as the abusive parent who kicks the kids' dog across the room just to put fear into them.

2. Our elders might consider this a preview

of how Trump will reject them too.

3. Is Chachi going to do it?

Or Don king?

4. Omarosa?

9. I am rooting for Omarosa, who was fired by Trump.

5. Not watching anyway

I can barely watch any coverage of Trump as it is and I certainly won't waste my time watching this pitiful little "man", and I use that word loosely, get inaugurated. I hope others will join me in refusing to watch any coverage of this atrocity. Would serve the MSM right to see their ratings on the coverage tank. I also don't want to give Trump the satisfaction of having people watch it. The thing he craves most is attention, so I say, let's ignore him every chance we get. Wouldn't that be great! No one watching him on his big day.

6. THIS...LETS HOPE HIS ratings sink to

the bottom of the cesspool.

[Granny M]

13. Not watching, either.

I'm much the same - just can't bear watching MSM anymore. I'll read newspapers instead.

[JeaneRaye]

14. Same here.

I am watching it less and less. MSNBC started to get under my skin when they started covering Trump ALL THE TIME, during the run up to the election.... and even ignoring Bernie Sanders during the primaries like he was a big joke or something. I have found myself watching it occasionally now, but when they hired Greta Van Susteren, I found my distaste for this channel returning. I still find Democracy Now and FSTV are covering the news best. Otherwise, I'm with you. I'm reading more and more these days.

8. I'm sure he has an appropriate replacement in mind.

[NCjack]

10. Charlie is not qualified to be the announcer

since he does not speak fluent Russian.

[MontanaMama]

11. Wait. DFT's transition spokesperson's name is BORIS??????

RUFKM? Does it get more Russian than fucking B O R I S????

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Need the imagery

[MontanaMama]

15. Thanks BumRushDaShow

I needed that.
