His nominees so far reflect his inherent corruption, ignorance, aspirations of autocracy, and the shallowness of a former reality TV game show host. Most of his picks are closely associated with his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63709\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is Stacking His Cabinet with Fox News Trump-Fluffers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump has not yet named his choice to be his press secretary. But rest assured that it will be a brazenly dishonest purveyor of self-serving falsehoods. In the meantime, we should appreciate the press secretary currently serving President Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre.<\/p>\n<p>At Wednesday&#8217;s daily White House press briefing, the noxious odor of Fox News wafted into the room as a reporter from their business network, Edward Lawrence, was called upon to ask a question. True to form, it was a preposterous question that had nothing to do with any matter of concern to the American people. Instead, he sought to manufacture a melodrama out of the morning meeting that Biden had with Trump&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Lawrence:<\/strong> We saw a unified front related to a transition in the Oval Office meeting. But a lot was said on the campaign trail like &#8216;Trump is a dangerous threat to our country and our democracy. Was there an apology today?<br \/>\n<strong>Jean-Pierre:<\/strong> I&#8217;m sorry? Apology from whom? I&#8217;ve answered this a couple of times with respect to democracy in the past week. The President is always going to feel obligated to be honest with the American people. What he says still stands. And it&#8217;s not just him. You heard this from former [Trump] staffers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">KJP responds to a question about if Biden apologized to Trump during their meeting today for calling him a threat to democracy: &quot;What he says still stands.

He told the truth about Trump. And as Jean-Pierre went on to note, is was Trump&#8217;s own close associates who were the ones that raised the question of his threat to democracy. It was his White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, his Defense Secretary, Gen. James Mattis, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, and others who said that Trump was a fascist who praised Hitler. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63479\" target=\"_blank\">Trump himself made statements that were overtly threatening to democracy<\/a><\/strong>, such as branding his critics as <em>&#8220;the enemy within.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lawrence&#8217;s question also neglected to mention that Trump used the very same language aimed at Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, who he said, without a shred of evidence, were threats to democracy. But Lawrence didn&#8217;t bother to ask whether Trump apologized. Unrattled by Lawrence&#8217;s purposeful provocation, Jean-Pierre gave a calm and coherent response&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Jean-Pierre:<\/strong> What we also want to be very clear about is listening to the will of the American people. There was an election. It is important to respect our institution. It is important to respect the free and fair election. And that&#8217;s what this President is doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>America needs to prepare itself for what&#8217;s to come in the White House Press Briefing room. Axios is reporting that Trump is expected to <em>&#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/scoop-trump-expected-to-shake-up-white-house-briefing-room\/ar-AA1u0fqX\" target=\"_blank\">shake it up<\/a><\/strong>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Trump&#8217;s first administration tried to ban outlets it saw as unfavorable from off-camera press briefings. That included the New York Times, Politico, CNN and BBC.&#8221; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any efforts to expand access to daily press briefings to pro-Trump outlets, such as Steve Bannon&#8217;s War Room, would need to come at the expense of existing outlets.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So get ready for briefings that feature folks like Bannon, Alex Jones, and Laura Loomer. The <em>&#8220;mainstream&#8221;<\/em> media reporters from the New York Times and CBS and NPR will all be banished as <em>&#8220;fake news.&#8221;<\/em> And Trump&#8217;s press secretary is likely to be someone like his former attorney Alina Habba or his daughter Tiffany. Which means the rest of the media had better grow a spine and be prepared to protect the very notion of a free press.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63703\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Refusal to Sign the Required Ethics Agreement is His Virtual Promise to Violate It<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63698\" target=\"_blank\">MAGA GOP Reps Deny that Donald \u2018I Am Your Retribution\u2019 Trump Has an \u2018Enemies List\u2019 (He Does)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63649\" target=\"_blank\">The Media Still Doesn\u2019t Get the Danger that We \u2013 and They \u2013 Are In, But the Daily Show Does<\/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\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">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=\"\">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>The unfortunate outcome of the presidential election last week is already sending spine-chilling reverberations across the political landscape as the ghastly consequences of another Donald Trump occupation of the White House become impossible to ignore.
