Among the standard features on Trump’s playlist are hostile harangues aimed at the media that he assails in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”<\/em> His seething animosity toward the press is purposefully included in every speech in order to keep his devotees in a constant state of outrage at what he tells them are “fake”<\/em> and\/or “corrupt”<\/em> reporters who mean to do him harm. Although he does have his exceptions…<\/p>\n SEE THIS: Trump Thanks White Nationalist as a \u2018Great Journalist\u2019 for His Sexist Attack on Kamala Harris<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n On Friday Trump spoke at another one of his traveling salvation shows. It was typical in most respects with warmed over talking points and pre-chewed propaganda. But there was an episode that erupted that deserves special attention. Not because it was unusual or unpredictable, but because, in fact, it was neither. As reported by the Associated Press<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n “A man at Donald Trump\u2019s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, stormed into the press area as the former president spoke and was surrounded by police and sheriff\u2019s deputies before eventually being subdued with a Taser. The incident Friday came moments after Trump had criticized major media outlets for what he said was unfavorable coverage and dismissed CNN as fawning for its interview Thursday with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n [NOTE:<\/strong> The AP article was edited after this post was published. It added that \u201cIt was not immediately clear what motivated the man or whether he was a Trump supporter or critic.\u201d And it included a reply from the Trump campaign saying that the campaign \u201ctried to distance the former president from the man and his actions, suggesting he was a Trump opponent.\u201d This article has been edited to reflect this new info.]<\/p>\n There is still more to learn about what happened at the rally. But what is known is that Trump has a deep hatred for the press and that he spreads that to his followers. Trump’s deliberately provocative rhetoric has incited violence on other occasions. Most notably the deadly insurrection and attempted coup at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n While the actual motive is still unclear, it is interesting that the alleged attack took place as Trump was lambasting the media for what he believes is biased coverage. Which by his definition is any coverage that isn’t unflinchingly adoring of him and grossly derisive of his foes. Trump believes that the press should model their reporting after his own analyses of political news. Such as his coverage of the Kamala Harris interview on CNN, that Trump deemed \u201cBORING!!!\u201d<\/em>…<\/p>\n Gee… Trump was bored by the interview of Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n Maybe she didn't spew enough inflammatory lies, infantile insults, hostile attacks, or racist rants. And not even a mention of Hannibal Lecter.<\/p>\n This is the highest level of intellectual analysis that Trump is capable of. pic.twitter.com\/Z5JQUfPIE6<\/a><\/p>\n — News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) August 30, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
