The most media averse president in the history of the United States, Donald Trump, is once again demonstrating his inbred hostility to the free press and the Constitution that explicitly protects it in the very First Amendment.<\/p>\n

What America’s founders saw as an indispensable facet of freedom and democracy, Trump sees as “the enemy of the people,”<\/em> a phrase that he borrowed from Joseph Stalin. He insults journalists personally in the most vile and infantile manner<\/a><\/strong>, and disparages the entire industry as “fake News.”<\/em> It’s another symptom of the severe delusional impairment that permeates everything he does or says.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning Trump was busy doing what he regards as his presidential duties: posting deranged rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. And true to form, many of those rants concerned the media that he despises. Consequently, he led off with a short harangue whining that<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“THE FAKE POLLS USED BY OUR CROOKED MEDIA ARE OUT OF CONTROL, AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. FCC TO THE RESCUE!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s right. Trump is outraged by all the polls that show him floundering in the depths of the Mariana Trench of Disapproval. To be sure, he has sunk to record lows<\/a><\/strong> in virtually every poll, and continues to trend downward. So now he insists that “SOMETHING MUST BE DONE,”<\/em> and that it’s up to his FCC (Fascist Communications Commission) to do it. You might ask, “To do what?”<\/em> Well, he got to that in a subsequent comment<\/a><\/strong> that is too long and tedious to repost. So here are a couple of relevant excerpts…<\/p>\n

“Kristen Welker, the Unpopular ‘Hostess’ of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has ‘mixed results’ on his Endorsements […] Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one. The Radical Left News is going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything ‘TRUMP.’ […] The Press is a Disgrace to our Nation, and I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr, and the fine people of his Commission, will take this Threat to our Country very seriously.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there you have it. Hall monitor Trump says that Welker “will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.”<\/em> Then what? Will she have to stay after school? Will she get 20 whacks? Or will she be deported to a gulag in El Salvador?<\/p>\n

Welker’s alleged offense was that she accurately reported that many of Trump’s recent endorsed candidates have met with defeat. In fact, that was what comprised most of Trump’s endless comment that was primarily him bragging about his “99% SUCCESS Rate on Endorsements.”<\/em> What he fails to mention is that the vast majority of them were for Republican candidates in Republican primaries, many of whom had no viable opponent.<\/p>\n

Trump also doesn’t distinguish between endorsements from months or years ago, and the more recent endorsements that have fared poorly, consistent with his devastating descent in the polls<\/a><\/strong>. Maybe someone should him about his “success”<\/em> with Pillow Man Mike Lindell in Minnesota. Even Darline Graham Nordone, his endorsee in South Carolina, barely held onto a lead to replace her late brother Lindsey in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Whether Welker was accurate or not is beside the point. Trump and his FCC don’t have any legal authority to dispense “rebuke or punishment”<\/em> to the press for what they consider to be inaccuracies. There is, however, a civil process for recovering damages in the event of defamation. Fox News found out about that when they were forced to pay a $787 million settlement to Dominion Software for lying about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged and stolen”<\/em> from Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump, on the other hand, has zero evidence of any defamatory dishonesty on the part of Welker or NBC. This is just another attempt on his part to bully the media into submission for not gushing adoringly over him every minute of every day. And Trump may be especially angry with Welker. He walked out of a recent interview with her because he couldn’t handle her entirely reasonable questions.<\/p>\n

Finally, Trump’s “hope that [FCC] Chairman Brendan Carr…take this Threat to our Country very seriously,”<\/em> is his clumsily covert way of issuing orders to the flunkies on his team to bring their fascist hammer down on the free press. It’s a tactic that he has learned from his idols Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea.<\/p>\n
