Speaking at a rally for Rick Saccone, Trump encouraged the crowd to verbally attack the press — and then told the crowd to stop when they started booing North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
7:14 PM - Mar 10, 2018

I'll admit that I didn't watch the speech, but I haven't heard anyone else mention this.

1. On this message board, yes. In the media, on the boob-tube, no.

The 4th estate is in peril.

2. It's really disturbing. He seems to idolize strongman and dictators.

He won't criticize Putin interfering with our elections, wants to execute drug dealers like Duterte, approves of Xi becoming President for life.

3. I posted in another thread, but it belongs here too-

1. Defend the 4th estate. Such as it is, with the recognition of its corporate nature, defend the press.

2. Quote the founders. They are on our side. The ideals expressed are still valid.


..and lastly, yes, extinction level event for western democratic civilization itself.

4. I read about Kim Jong Un bit, on twitter

but not the journalist bit.

He is inciting a riot. That is not legal. Worse yet, mobs tend to become an independent rage filled entity, at some point.

5. Yes, on 'Meet the Press' this AM.

Which means every NBC network.

Which means CNN this afternoon!

Chuck Todd was asking the guest R how "unusual" it is for a president to be denigrating the press while praising a murderous dictator who had just killed an American citizen?

Secretary Mnuchin said , "It's just a campaign rally, Chuck. Why so serious?"

6. Cable TV will cover, somewhat. The problem is Big 3 corporate tax cut receivers will not.

[yallerdawg]

9. I think they should all stop covering his lie-fests.

This jackass will say anything to be the jackass the people at his "rallies" crave.

If we lived in a democracy, Hillary would be president.

8. 'Fair enough. I guess we'll leave it there. Remember if it Sunday, its Supine the Press"-nt

[yallerdawg]

12. The Dotard just insulted Chuck Todd and Maggie Haberman!

I think the dumbass is about to "meet the press" once again!

"LOL" says Maggie!

As Rachel says, "Watch this space."

7. Joy Reid mentioned it

[Beartracks]

10. Attack pillar of democracy, support communist dictator. Got it. n/t

11. Yes I heard this on TV this morning...can't remember the show I was busy
