That&#8217;s something we can expect from Fox News as it is their corporate mission to advance the Trump Cult. But CNN and MSNBC had been behaving more responsibly in the months following the election.<\/p>\n<p>However, if Monday is any indication, CNN and MSNBC are backsliding. They both aired Monday morning&#8217;s complete Trump Cabinet meeting that was rife with lies and myths and Trumpian insults. It is a disservice to the American people to shove this dishonest blather down the throats of news consumers and it&#8217;s long past time for these networks to put an end to it. Here is just a taste of the preposterous ramblings of Trump this morning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndrewFeinberg\/status\/1186333648112537601\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump said that<\/a><\/strong> he has great respect for ambassadors that he also said he&#8217;s never heard of.<\/li>\n<li>Referring to ISIS, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cspan\/status\/1186336560490393602\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump said that<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;I\u2019m the one that did the capturing.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jdawsey1\/status\/1186320600454832129\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump mangled<\/a><\/strong> the Constitution, complaining about what he called the <em>&#8220;phony Emoluments Clause.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehill\/status\/1186344606461583361\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump said that<\/a><\/strong> he gives away his presidential salary that is close to $450,000. It&#8217;s exactly $400,000.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thehill\/status\/1186349430758232064\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump accused<\/a><\/strong> President Obama of violating the emoluments clause by striking book and movie deals. Which he didn&#8217;t do until after he left office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with the nonsense above, Trump crammed several ludicrous remarks into a concise segment of his rant <em>(video below)<\/em>. He began by praising himself for allegedly losing 2-5 billion dollars due to his having to suffer through being president. But not to worry because he went on to say that <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t care. If you&#8217;re rich it doesn&#8217;t matter. I&#8217;m doing this for the country, I&#8217;m doing it for the people.&#8221;<\/em> Really? Then why does actually helping the country by paying a few dollars more in taxes matter? If it really didn&#8217;t matter, Trump wouldn&#8217;t have pushed through tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. and he wouldn&#8217;t be funneling money to his own real estate properties every time he stays at one of his resorts. And he certainly wouldn&#8217;t have tried to book the 2020 G7 summit at his Doral golf club in Miami &#8211; a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43061\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">scam that blew up in his face<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump went on to brag about what he said are <em>&#8220;my best poll numbers.&#8221;<\/em> Nevermind that he is at or near the lows of his presidency with the average of polls at about 42 percent approval. Even the wildly biased Rasmussen, has Trump dropping to 45 percent, within a point of his low for the year by his favorite pollster. Then he launched into a rabid dog rant aimed at his congressional foes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;I have my best polls now. I think it&#8217;s because people think it&#8217;s terrible what they&#8217;re doing. Pelosi, Shifty Schiff, Schumer, these people are trying to destroy the country. It&#8217;s a very bad thing what they&#8217;re doing. The President of the United States should be allowed to run the country, not have to focus on this kind of crap.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump has been accusing Pelosi, Schiff, and Schumer of treason for months simply because they are pursuing remedies for Trump&#8217;s political poison that are written into the Constitution, a document he has either never read, or can&#8217;t understand. And proof of that is his assertion that he <em>&#8220;should be allowed to run the country&#8221;<\/em> as if he were an unimpeded dictator.<\/p>\n<p>It is episodes of derangement like these that make it necessary for the media to refrain from blasting out Trump&#8217;s hysterical bluster. It creates needless anxiety along with the misinformation that Trump intends to spread. It harms both the public and the press. It serves no purpose other than the propaganda mission of the White House and the Republican Nationalist Party. And it must end if we are ever to get this nation back on an even keel.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Trump says Pelosi, Schumer and Schiff are &quot;trying to destroy the country&quot; with the impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The president of the United States should be allowed to run the country, not have to focus on this kind of crap&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AfEIFrfeM5\">https:\/\/t.co\/AfEIFrfeM5<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k4DUxu70rN\">pic.twitter.com\/k4DUxu70rN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ABCPolitics\/status\/1186335357513555969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is really getting tiresome.
