Jim Carrey @JimCarrey
Today they tried to murder two Presidents as well as public servants and journalists. Make no mistake, these terrorists were encouraged and emboldened by the hate speech of Donald Trump. If you can’t see the clear menace of this man’s influence by now then you are a part of it.

The Problem Isn’t Incivility. It’s Trump’s Belief the Media Can’t Criticize Him.

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/...an-up-act.html

Quote:
In his incarnation as a political candidate, Trump has mostly lost his ability to intimidate the media with legal threats. (Politicians have a prohibitively high standard for libel in the United States.) But his expectation and worldview are the same. Any news outlet not controlled by his loyalists is “fake news” and an “enemy of the people.” It must “clean up its act” — or else. Trump can’t literally attack reporters, though he can praise allies who do.

The mail-bomb threats are the leverage he craves. They are the threat that can make good on his demand, the consequence facing the media for failing to submit to his orders.

It is a supreme irony that Trump used his speech last night to delegitimize criticism. “No one should carelessly compare political opponents to historical villains.” But the issue is that Trump, in his psychological makeup and aspirations, is precisely such a historical villain.

Trump’s Attacks on the News Media Are Working

Sadly, there are millions of culturally uneducated people who don’t read the real news, listen only to right wingnut radio, and watch the bombastic idiots on Faux “News”. They worship this president* because he reinforces their ignorant, racist, hateful views, every day, with his lies.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The Stock Market is up massively since the Election, but is now taking a little pause - people want to see what happens with the Midterms. If you want your Stocks to go down, I strongly suggest voting Democrat. They like the Venezuela financial model, High Taxes & Open Borders!

Yes, Donny, year one the markets continued their massive gains, thanks to tailwinds from a real president’s great leadership. The second year, it’s entirely yours, and you’re making a complete mess of it. Resign, and let the adults clean up your disaster, for the good of this country!

Doesn’t stand a chance. He’s just rallying his idiot base to get out and vote for hate.
