Trump official hit over new target

Source: msn/Raw story

12h


Donald Trump on Saturday took to Truth Social, his own social media site, to rage against Seth Meyers, and Commissioner of Federal Communications Commission Brendan Carr raised eyebrows by amplifying the attack. "NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)," Trump wrote over the weekend. "He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his 'show' is a Ratings DISASTER."

Carr shared the exact quote on social media, without even adding a caption.

Gregg Nunziata, an attorney, public policy professional, and veteran of the conservative legal movement, asked, "Why in the world is the FCC chairman posting this?" NPR's David Folkenflik wrote, "Nation's top broadcast regulator amplifies President Trump's call for network to fire satirist who mocked him." Politics & Poll Tracker wrote, "The chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, posts a screenshot of Trump post calling for Seth Meyers to be fired." Scholar Norman Ornstein said, "Utter disgrace. Unfit for any office."

Protect Kamala Harris wrote, "NEW: Donald Trump has called for NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers to be taken off the air in an an evening tirade on social media. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr shared the post, hinting he may take action against the network."

That's my takeaway. Also, christo-fascism. A lot of that as well. Mostly the same shitty people.

Every single day it becomes more apparent and harder to deny .
Anyone who continues to believe otherwise just reveals their complete ignorance of history or their willingness to surrender their power and freedom to a tyrant.

That's some incredibly good advice---so I doubt that Carr will take it.

To a malignant narcissist who thinks the cult would stick with him if he shot someone on 5th Avenue, this a very serious ego wound.

Justice matters.

I can attest that he never exhibits “uncontrolled rage” He’s a cool customer who channels his rage into hilarious commentary

11. Trump's late night TV viewing

Trump seems to be obsessed with watching late night TV to find out what the "not funny, low IQ, has been" hosts have to say about him.

I mean, why hasn't Trump attacked DU? demanded that we all be jailed? called us "lunatics?"

Come on Mr. Thinks-He-Is-President -- bring it on you lying, stealing, pedophile piece of shit.

14. He's been seething at Seth for years, since the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner.

You can see tRumplethinskin's stone faced reaction to Seth's line, “Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising, since I just assumed he was running as a joke.” (Quick search for "Seth Meyers Trump Running as a joke" will turn up several videos of it.)

He absolutely HATED that, and has had Seth on his shitlist ever since.

18. I have had Dump derangement syndrome since 2015.

Of course, Mr. Dump thinks he has nothing to do with it. If anyone has prior immunity to this syndrome they really need an intervention.
