They all made ample use of the caps lock key that Trump abuses to accentuate his mood disorders. But the most disturbing <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/111122815628828712\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a> was an extended tirade wherein he accused the media of treason and pledged to punish them for daring to commit journalism.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its &#8216;Country Threatening Treason.&#8217; Their endless coverage of the now fully debunked SCAM known as Russia, Russia, Russia, and much else, is one big Campaign Contribution to the Radical Left Democrat Party. I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events. Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt &#038; dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE? They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In Trump&#8217;s demented mind, NBC&#8217;s reporting constitutes <em>&#8220;treason&#8221;<\/em> and is a <em>&#8220;threat to Democracy.&#8221;<\/em> And if he is reelected he will see to it that they, and the rest of the media, <em>&#8220;pay a big price.&#8221;<\/em> That sort of talk is not new for Trump. He is a virulent opponent of the press and will shut them all down if given the opportunity. He says so explicitly with his promise to <em>&#8220;investigate&#8221;<\/em> his media critics and even remove them from the airwaves should they fail to comply. Except for those who cater to his dreams of tyranny. That&#8217;s what aspiring authoritarians do.<\/p>\n<p>The only example of any wrongdoing by the press that Trump mentions is what he calls the <em>&#8220;fully debunked SCAM known as Russia, Russia, Russia.&#8221;<\/em> For the record, Trump&#8217;s unsavory relationships with Russia have not only never been debunked, they have been verified and documented by the courts, by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42279\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Mueller Report<\/a><\/strong>, and even by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee Report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51346\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GEEZ! Trump is STILL Obsessed With the \u2018Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax\u2019 that is NOT a Hoax<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What appears to have triggered this Trump tantrum is the fallout from his recent appearance on NBC&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221;<\/em> He was interviewed by Kristen Welker who actually let him get away with several glaring whoppers about everything from abortion to the January 6th insurrection that he incited. However, he also managed to sabotage himself with his reckless chatter that conceded his responsibility for illegal efforts to overturn the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58043\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Bombs on Meet the Press, Behaving Like a Petulant Toddler Who Couldn\u2019t Stop Lying<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to undermining the Constitution and the First Amendment, Trump posted a comment that ordered his GOP confederates in Congress to push for a costly and harmful government shutdown, <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/111123164335702676\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">saying<\/a> <em>&#8220;UNLESS YOU GET EVERYTHING, SHUT IT DOWN!&#8221;<\/em> He also <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/111122128507943004\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">demanded<\/a> that <em>&#8220;Senate Democrats should all resign&#8221;<\/em> due to the indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez. If that&#8217;s the criteria that he&#8217;s resting his case on, then all Republicans should resign nationwide due to Trump&#8217;s four criminal indictments on 91 felony charges.<\/p>\n<p>With each new day Trump seems to validate the worst characteristics of his malignant narcissistic psychosis. His totalitarian tendencies become more prominent. And his disregard for the Constitution and the welfare of the nation grows deeper and more darkly ominous. And what&#8217;s worse is that there appears to be no bottom to his deplorable and dystopian dreams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57605\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hypes Hostile \u2018Trump Revenge Tour\u2019 Promising that \u2018If He Wins He\u2019ll Be Out for Blood\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58039\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Messiah Trump Claims to Be Standing Up to the \u2018Demonic Forces\u2019 Destroying Our Country<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57987\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Suffers Mental Collapse Over Poll that Asks About His Obviously Collapsing Mental Health<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination for president has focused almost entirely on his personal vendetta against Democrats in general, President Biden in particular, and the media that he repeatedly maligns in Stalinist terms as &#8220;the enemy of the people.&#8221; He has replaced his &#8220;MAGA&#8221; mantra with \u201cI am your retribution.\u201d Click here [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1,8,16],"tags":[1377,554,1501,95,101],"class_list":["post-58129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-propaganda","category-wankery","tag-constitution","tag-donald-trump","tag-kristen-welker","tag-media","tag-nbc"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/..\/Pix\/Trump\/trump-tyrant.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Ijg-f7z","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":62317,"url":"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62317","url_meta":{"origin":58129,"position":0},"title":"Fox News is Officially an Arm of Chinese State Media, Regurgitating its Attacks on Kamala Harris","author":"Mark NC","date":"7\/24\/2024","format":false,"excerpt":"In only three days, the entire landscape of the 2024 presidential election has been transformed.
