“Warren spoke to the Massachusetts ACLU, saying that democracy in the U.S. is “under attack.” “Voting, an impartial judiciary, a free press, the rule of law, the foundations of our democracy are under attack every single day,” Warren emphasized. “Under attack, but not lost.” “Warren also described her experience at Trump’s inauguration, which she attended. “I went to Donald Trump’s inauguration. I know a lot of people didn’t, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes. I thought it was important,” Warren said. “And I was right. It is now burned into the backs of my eyeballs.”Hating Trump now includes hating all of those who support him and wishing ill on them. So-called comedian Bill Maher said on Friday’s episode of his HBO show Real Time he has no problem with the country sinking into an economic recession if it is detrimental to President Trump:
Support Canada Free Press
“The backlash on Twitter was swift, even from some who said they also dislike the president. Many users pointed out that Maher would not be profoundly affected by a recession given his net worth of about $100 million and reported salary of $10 million.”But not even these crazies can take the cake on crazy from Atlantic Senior Editor David Frum, who claims that Trump Is Our ‘Punishment’ for Terrible Citizens Not Liking the News. “Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real affliction that plagues many in the liberal media and many in the anti-Trump crowd. During an appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday, David Frum, a faux Republican and editor for the left-leaning Atlantic, showed off how advanced his TDS was when he decried President Trump ahead of the historic North Korea summit as a cruel “punishment” against the American people for being irresponsible and hating the news media. (NewsBusters, 10, 2018)
“CNN host Brian Stelter originally asked Frum to comment on President Trump’s criticism of CNN while at the press conference at the G7 summit in Canada. Of course, Frum suggested Trump’s words somehow gave cover to dictators to abuse the press. He then shifted gears and started trashing Americans who were “fatigued” of the news. “According to Frum, “We got Donald Trump in the first place as a punishment for not being good enough citizens.” “That’s right, Trump wasn’t elected because he spoke to Americans who felt forgotten and disenfranchised, it was because of those irresponsible Americans who didn’t want to listen to the liberal media. What a great message to the voters as we head into the midterms.
“Frum also condescendingly lectured Americans on what he saw as their responsibility as citizens, including telling them not to whine about having to watch the news: “And you can't put your responsibilities on the press and say, “why didn't you make this easier for me, or more entertaining. Why didn't you make the news less frightening than it is? I would like—I would like a different truth, please.” “Out of character for Stelter, he pressed Frum on whether or not it was appropriate for him to push his anti-Trump hate while the President was overseas and going into the North Korea summit (aka, the kind of stuff the left complain the right did with Obama). “Um. I don't even understand that question,” Frum blurted out. “And I don’t either,” mumbled Steven Brill, journalist, author, and creator of media outlet rater NewsGuard. “It takes a specially advanced case of Trump Derangement Syndrome for someone to rail against the public for not liking to watch the news and suggesting they were “punished” for it. With this kind of analysis, is it any wonder people hate watching the liberal media?”
