In his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/28917\" target=\"_blank\">announcement for Bruce<\/a><\/strong>, Trump cited as her <em>&#8220;qualifications&#8221;<\/em> that she was a political analyst who <em>&#8220;understood the power and importance of &#8216;MAGA&#8217; early on,&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;saw the lies and fraud of the Radical Left.&#8221;<\/em> Which are not exactly the sort of skills sought for a competent and fair person to communicate with the press.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/28914\" target=\"_blank\">announcement for Ortagus<\/a><\/strong> was even more outlandish. It read more like a reprimand and a warning for a poorly performing employee. He said that <em>&#8220;Early on Morgan fought me for three years, but hopefully has learned her lesson. These things usually don\u2019t work out.&#8221;<\/em> Oh great. So let&#8217;s put her in charge of something inconsequential, like Middle East Peace operations.<\/p>\n<p>In neither of Trump&#8217;s announcements did he bother to mention that both of these nominees were contributors on Fox News. Either he&#8217;s deliberately hiding that information, or he regards it as unfavorable. He does, after all, have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?tag=trump-attacks-fox-news\" target=\"_blank\">an ongoing love\/hate relationship with Fox News<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these announcements on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64392\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, Trump responded to to the news that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-to-be-sentenced-new-york-crimes-before-inauguration\/\" target=\"_blank\">he will sentenced next week<\/a><\/strong> for his 34 felony convictions in the New York <em>&#8220;Hush Money&#8221;<\/em> case. Trump posted four unbearably long, unreadable, and lie-riddled rants whining about the whole of America&#8217;s justice system, and specifically President Biden, and the judges, prosecutors, and victims involved in his felonious crime sprees. They are too interminably long and deranged to make anyone else suffer through, but here are a few annotated excerpts&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Trump:<\/strong> &#8220;Every Legal Scholar and Pundit&#8230;have unequivocally stated that the Manhattan D.A.\u2019s Witch Hunt is a nonexistent case.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> When Trump refers to &#8220;Every Legal Scholar&#8221; he means only those who suck up to him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Trump:<\/strong> &#8220;Justice Merchan, who is a radical partisan, just issued another order that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the Presidency as we know it.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> Trump being reelected with 34 felonies is &#8220;the end of the Presidency as we know it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Trump:<\/strong> &#8220;I never falsified business records. It is a fake, made up charge by a corrupt judge who is just doing the work of the Biden\/Harris Injustice Department, an attack on their political opponent, ME!&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> The charges against Trump were not made up by the judge or Biden. They were established by a Grand Jury made up of citizens who examined the voluminous evidence against him. Then a trial jury found him guilty unanimously on all 34 counts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Trump:<\/strong> &#8220;There has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated as I.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Note:<\/strong> There has never been a president who has committed more crimes than Trump. And nothing about his prosecution was evil or illegal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rest assured that the Fox News faction in Trump&#8217;s administration will continue act as propagandists and apologists for Trump and his nefarious, anti-American agenda. In other words, they will continue to do exactly the same things that they&#8217;ve been doing for years on Fox News.
