I know, that’s hardly headline news. But it keeps coming more and more into focus, never so much so as in the waning days of the 2018 election campaign.
“What scares the crap out of me is that, when you’re saying ‘enemy of the people, enemy of the people,’ … what happens if all of a sudden someone gets shot, somebody shoots one of these reporters?” Vandehei pleads. Trump replies, “It is my only form of fighting back.”
Watch the entire exchange, and take note of what Trump does not say here. The easiest answer Trump could give would be to deflect the concern as overblown. But at no point does he reassure the palpably frightened Vandehei that he is not inciting violence, and that his supporters understand that they should refrain from radical acts. Instead Trump lets the threat hang in the air, and justifies it as his only weapon against the slanders against him.
TRUMP 2020!!!!!
This series of the West Wing has really jumped the shark.
Trump is a wonderful man and Godsend for the American people! if the left would open their hatefilled hearts
They would see the truth?
Narcissistic Asshole
+Dave Hill funny article when the dems and the liberal media reap what they sow.
Trump is awesome!
+Marg Carter unfortunately they have been indoctrinated and the grade and Collegiate system and through the leftist media
Plus most people don't or can't admit they have been wrong
you have to admit that he is the only President who has had the chutzpah to call out the media for what it is, liars.
How many years did Charles Manson serve in prison for inciting violence? How are trump's actions any different than Manson's (aside, that is, from the fact that trump has the entire American government, police, military… etc. at his command)?
trump doesn't have "chutzpah." He's a pathological liar and a wannabe fascist dictator. He doesn't hate the media because they "lie"; he hates them because they criticize him (although not nearly as often or as harshly as they should).
These are not the actions of an honest leader. They are the actions of a dim-witted, psychopathic criminal who hates getting caught.
You followers of trump: What exactly do you like about him? Is it the white supremacy? The violence? The tax evasion? Giving of all your money to the uber-rich? Allowing corporations to destroy the environment, and with it your children's health? (Do you really hate your own kids that much? If so, then just put them up for adoption.)
+John Hummel Charles Manson spent most of his life behind bars since he was young. When he was released, THEN he did the Manson murders. He tried to pin it on the Black Panthers. He just missed execution when they outlawed execution.
God bless President Trump and his family!
+Marg Carter I agree with you 100%. The leftists are too full of hate and too power hungry to reason with.
That was just an insult, +Arizona Freedom. That's because you have nothing real to say: You can't defend trump because there's nothing good to say about him. You and his other followers just "know in your gut" thats he's a "real American" who will "build the wall" and "drain the swamp" and bring white people to their "rightful place" of supremacy at the top of society.
My challenge to all of you trump followers: Say one true fact about trump that is good/positive. And do it without insulting anyone. I'm betting You can't.
+diane flock Even if one accepts your premise that the "media" are, in fact, liars, it's not "chutzpah" to invite (and fail to dissuade) violence against them. It's thuggery.
+J. Max Nocturnus So the "media" have been fomenting violent attacks against the Trump Administration. Is that what you mean by "reap what you sow"?
+Marg Carter Trump actually wants soldiers to shoot unarmed civilians, if they throw stones. That is not the words of a Christian, nor is it something a God would find acceptable. Stop making excuses for this divisive, lying POS. Trump is tearing America apart from within, supporting and helping him is not a act of a Patriot.
+Sheridan O'Connor How are the leftist full of hate I really don't get the logic no one party is full of hate..
sheridan, you are truly an idiot you are perfectly describing thumper and his band of lying cheating power hungry right
+Arizona Freedom Are you back again TROLL.
+Sheridan O'Connor Let me spare you having to "reason with" "liberals" here. Aloha.
+Sheridan O'Connor The Liberals don't hate good people they just hate liars, Trump gas been proven to have told 6490 lies since his Inauguration, just what is there to admire about that?
+John Hummel He kept his campaign promises, and you are the one who enjoys those .
Which promises are those, +Tri Nguyen? To build the wall? (He didn't.) To "drain the swamp"? (Washington is more corrupt under trump than it ever has been before.) To "represent the American people"? (He isn't: His every action is to enrich himself and other billionaires.)
Tell me: Which "promises" that he "kept" have helped you?
Your 401(k) is doing well, +david h? Have you checked it recently? Last week, the stock market lost almost all the gains it had made in the previous year. The economy is doing well only by measures that affect rich people. For ordinary folk (like you, unless you're a millionaire), wages have not gone up. "But unemployment is down!" you scream. In part, that's because people have stopped looking for work. (The unemployment rate only counts people who are actively looking for work.) And of those who have gotten jobs, the vast majority are low-paying.
Plus, even if we agree, for the sake of argument, that the economy is "better", there is little evidence it is because of trump. His tariffs on imported goods, and the resulting trade war, is costing American producers (especially farmers) a lot. And it is going to cost you even more in the future.
i'll say one thing about trump: he's very good at inciting hysteria both online, and IRL. it's all very shakespearean the way the left and right are attacking each other with physical and verbal violence – much the same way the capulets and montagues do in romeo and juliet – and like that tragedy, nobody has a clue what the other side is saying, or why they're angry.
+david h Your comment is longer than your list of followers. Aloha.
+John Hummel Jobs .Are you working or collecting welfare checks?
Cutting taxes. Are you happy with the tax cut ,if you are working. If you are not happy with it ,just do the country a favor by paying your taxes by the old tax code .
Bring manufacturers back to the country, which Obama said :" …those jobs would never come back unless Mr.Trump has a magic wand ".
Yes,Obama was right. Trump has magic wand.
The WALL is being built, at least part of it.Where have you been lately? Are you just awakened from coma?
The SWAMP will be drained a little at the time .That crap was there for decades. President Trump has 6 more years to complete his task.
Be patient !
Already voted red 2 weeks ago baby. Vote against the hateful Democrats.
I would like to know when you vote how well do you know the actual person or do you just vote for that party?????
I'm a Republican, of course I would vote for Rep ,but I have to know who the ones to vote for.
I did vote for Obama in his first term, and that was a big mistake I had ever made.
And we can't forget those tax returns, either

Have you got your big raise yet?

+Tri Nguyen:
Jobs: Low-paying jobs. And no wage increases for anyone below the top 1%.
Tax cuts: Not for me, I don't make enough. (Yes, the average Joe may see a few dollars more per month. That's net even in the noise.) And more importantly, those tax cuts are driving the deficit through the roof. The republicans are trying to pay for the massive tax cuts — again, for the wealthy only — by slashing Medicare and Social Security (which are paid for by completely separate funds).
The wall: If it's ever built, it will be a complete waste of money. Have you ever heard of airplanes? Boats? Plus, why do you want to keep Mexicans out of the US? Are you going to pick the crops?
The Swamp: Look at who he put in charge of publication (DeVos, a person whose sole mission in life is to destroy publication), or the EPA (a person who has made a career out of suing the EPA). Every single agency is now headed by an industry insider whose sole purpose is to destroy the agency so they can make more money. These are agencies that exist so that the rich cannot destroy your life in the interest of making more money, and he has put industry-insiders in charge of them. You call this "draining the swamp"?
You predict six more years of trump. If he has his way, he will be in the post for the rest of his life. And then his kids will take over after his death.
+John Hummel He has prototypes of the wall made you dumbass. They just have to choose which one would be best.
+Tri Nguyen Sorry I don't believe anyone who says they voted for Obama, but now votes for Trump. Obama has integrity, honor and class, Trump is a lying, dishonest POS. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FoxmTTm4a4bDwrcEBzh2QKNNyvJf8wvqb5psxRjwC8DFJE8kBPeSDmzVcOP9dq6Wmni2VYLANQs

+Sarge Misfit 1- Where is ISIS right now ?
2-The people were happy to have their own healthcare back without Obama's crap .They were sick of penalties. I was one of those .
3- Has President Trump ever took overseas vacations like Obama and his family ?
4- Infrastructure .Tell me .What did Obama do about that in his 8 years?So,Trump could not finish everything in his first two years.
+David c. Prototypes that have all been proven to be useless. Just who will pay for this wall,that will kill off around 30 endangered species of animals. The tax payers will, and it will prove to be ineffictive, because 90% Illegals fly in to America.
+David c., read what I wrote: "The wall: If it's ever built, it will be a complete waste of money. Have you ever heard of airplanes? Boats? Plus, why do you want to keep Mexicans out of the US? Are you going to pick the crops?"
So tell me, David, what function do you in all your wisdom, think the wall will serve? Have you never heard of airplanes or boats?
And why are you so afraid of Mexicans? Your Dear Leader tells you they're all just rapists and murders anyhow: Are you afraid they'll take your job? Are you afraid all the rapist positions will be filled, leaving nothing for you to do?
Wtf are you talking about? I'm telling you prototypes are already made. And the other person only 40% come by air. Some say 60%.
+James Graham As I said ,I'm a Rep but voted for Obama in 2008 ,and that was a big mistake I had ever made.
Do you really understand the definition of a " big mistake " ?
He's an abomination in society. What's next putting us in cages?? Those children are going to remember that forever. So will the world remember when the U.S.A. was (hopefully) on the brink of having another monster thinking he can be a dictator.And our Democracy can be a thing of the past! The joke's on him. I LOVE that people aree going to hopefully IMPEACH THAT INHUMAN P.O.S.!!! VOTE HIS KIND OUT!
+James Graham But yea it ain't needed. We should find another way to keep the illegals out. A less costly hopefully and better. +John Hummel I took the time to read your useless comment. I ain't scared of Mexicans. I don't like the fact they are breaking the law. Come in legally and it would all be fine.
+Tri Nguyen As the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia worship the same diabolical sect of the Sunni Muslim faith that Daesh aka ISIS does,they are alive and well. Just who do you think arms and finances them?
ACA was sabotaged by Trump and the GOP.
Yes Trump has taken many overseas holidays, but only flies to his own resorts, so he can charge the tax payers money, for Secret Service bills. He has played Golf virtually every weekend, it costs $3 million a trip on air Force one. In eight years Obama spent $19.3 million on holiday travel, Trump has spent $148 million so far.
You right wing Trolls need better alternative facts.
+James Graham Troll ?
Is that all what you Demonrat could say to the ones who disagree with your craps ?
+Bradley Parks On the national level, and usually at the state level, I vote the party ticket unless I know something about the candidate that I can't abide. At those levels, partisan policy is usually reliable for what I'm looking for.
This year, anything that throws a spanner into Trump's control of the entire Federal Government is worthwhile.
On the city and county level, I look at the candidates more carefully. I actually voted Republican in at least one race (which, frankly, shouldn't be a partisan post).
+John Hummel omg are you nuts comparing trump to Manson who gutted a pregnant woman?
Abortion is a menace.
+Marg Carter are you deaf! You DO hear the hateful speeches he gives? How is a liar, a bully, an adulterer, a name caller, racist a wonderful man? Why would god send us such an immoral, divisive, unethical, hateful president? You can't deny my description is TRUTH!
+Dalila Tena – how do you know who God would send or not they say he works in mysterious ways,, maybe he's thinking want to play with evil I will let you have it'' he'll give it to us—
+diane flock let him say what he know, but I think he is sick
So we can tell God sent Trump because he says he'll do what we thinks he should, but when he doesn't we can still tell God sent Trump because God's ways are mysterious. Convenient, that.
+Bryan Hirsch it wasn't god, it was the electoral college
+Dave Hill — you can't tell God shit boy', but go ahead feel free see if he listens to to your stupid ass,
+diane flock Manson didn't commit any of the Tate-LaBianca murders himself. He wasn't even actually present. He "only" instructed his "family" to do so.
+Bryan Hirsch Oh, hey, Confederate Flag boy — aloha.
+Dave Hill you dems are gonna have to make up your minds… Hitler or Manson
+Jason Henderson Here, let me make up my mind. Aloha.
When you approve of a guy running for office that attacks a reporter and calls white supremacists good people is insane and unstable. When every other word out of your mouth is a lie then you know that you can't be trusted by anyone. Propaganda has been the Republican way since this want a be king in the White House day care center. And to use God as a weapon by the Republicans is discussing and evil. Your beliefs or faith has no business in politics.
+Anthony Anderson I don't have a problem with people bringing their faith/beliefs into politics — an individual's moral code and belief in what is good or evil will be part of their governance whether or not they tell anyone what denomination they belong to, and should be.
It's when that individual religious code is imposed on others, or used to tear other people down (or hold other people up) that it's problematic, to say the least..
+Dave Hill That's what I am talking about. To force ones beliefs on others has no place in government. But to believe in ones faith should accompany you no matter what party you belong to. John McCain was a great example of a man who never forced his faith on anyone.
+Jason Henderson I'm not a Democrat. I don't agree with there politics at all. I just don't think the wall is the best way. I voted Trump and plan to in 2020. I just don't agree with all his plans and think he is immature. Agree with him more then Hillary though.
Lib-tard nonsense
+bear cat Such scintillating repartee and profound insight into the topic. Aloha.
FASCIST TRAITOR TRUMP AND SOVIET PUPPET…IMPEACH THIS TRAITOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Food Stamp TrAmP "He's done more in 2 years than every president before him did in their entire terms."
Yeah, and we'll be decades in recovering from it, at least. Aloha.
TO ALL OF THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS; PLEASE READ AND NOT ONLY MUSE ON THE FOLLOWING BUT GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND INTERCEDE FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CABINET.
NOVEMBER 6, 2018.
• What is going to happen on this date?
• On November 6, 2018, there will be a referendum in America that is intended to forcefully REMOVE Trump from being the President and soon REMOVE ALL the laws that protects the rights and privileges of Christians.
• Who are the people behind this plot?
• It is the gay, the lesbians, the members of the new world order, the Illuminati together with IGNORANT Christians.
• Why this plot? Obama, who is a member of the new world order enacted anti- Christian laws and policies to make life hard for Christians.
• Trump, who is a Christian has been slowing down the DOOMSDAY for Christians in America.
• The political party involved in this plot is the Democrats.
• They want to use a HORRIBLE method to take over power from Trump.
• Trump had SECRET meetings with 120 Christian leaders in the White House 3 days ago and poured out his FEARS that he needed their support and cooperation to be able to scale through, telling them EMPHATICALLY that if he loses in the referendum, then the whole of Christians in America (including the entire world) must be prepared for a TIME to fight for their lives including himself and his family.
• This man needs our prayers and support especially on the internet because there are people already READY to mobilize and campaign for the exit of Trump, the ONLY President in the world who has the military, money, intelligence and ALL the wherewithal to stop activities of terrorism IN OUR WORLD.
• The same way and manner that the key spiritual leaders in Nigeria are keeping quiet in not telling the congregation to vote for ONLY Christian candidates is the SAME manner that Christian leaders in America are doing.
• It is time to mount up on our prayer altar and begin to MOBILIZE other Christians bodies and PRAY.
• I am SINCERELY praying that the prophecy of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 31:15 and Matthew 2: 17) will NEVER repeat itself again.
In Rama was there a voice HEARD, LAMENTATIONS AND WEEPING and GREAT MOURNING, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they were not.
• Let us brush aside sentiments and party affiliation and wage war against anti-christian policies.
• God hears and answers prayers speedily.
• In our churches and prayer meetings, we should keep on praying that the hands of the enemies of the Cross will not perform their enterprise in Jesus' name.
• God counts on you!
Send the message to other Christians, please.
GOD BLESS YOU.
+raja rajan You belong in a mental health facility… All religious but nutcases do. A ten year old step daughter of mine asked me this simple question, "if god made everything, then who made god". Claiming Trump is being victimized is hilarious.
+James Graham
What question can a child of an atheist ask if not that ……
+raja rajan Frankly, the only believable bullet item there is that Trump asked evangelical leaders for their unconditional support, lest awful things happen. I can completely believe that. The rest, though …
As I'm clearly a part of the conspiracy, we probably don't have much more to talk about. Aloha.
+raja rajan Her mother was a Christian… She went to church,I didn't influence her in anyway. She came to this on her own. No one is born knowing anything about any god, it is drummed into you parrot fashion.
