Good grief: Actual quote from the president...




Actual quote from the president: "To me free speech is not when you see something good and then you purposefully write bad. To me that’s very dangerous speech and you become angry at it. But that’s not free speech."


Are complete and utter word salads of bollocks free speech?
Once interpreted this bollocks is saying is something makes him angry it is not free speech? Hhhhmmm.

Free speech is only free if they say things about me I like. If they do not tell MY truth, I will be angry and therefore it is not free speech.

Simples.

TRUMP on social media execs: "They're not using what we gave them fairly & they have to do that...I don't think the mainstream media is free speech either...free speech is not when you see something good & then you purposely write something bad...that's very dangerous speech" 😳

Most certainly, Trump has seen good and written bad things about it.
From the birth certificate to Obamacare, Trump is happy to tear down good to satisfy his ego.

So he thinks his own speech is dangerous.

...or a very nervous and skinny version of Pocahontas (1/1024th), as your President, rather than what you have now, so great looking and smart, a true Stable Genius! Sorry to say that even Social Media would be driven out of business along with, and finally, the Fake News Media!

“So great looking and smart?” That is so off the mark as to laughable if it weren’t pitiful.

He has the opposite of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. People with BDD are often quite attractive, but perceive themselves as hideous looking. Trump has just the opposite problem.

And, according to 45’s own words, Fox News does not practice free speech. Because ALL Fox does is “see something good and then...purposefully write [and speak] bad.” (But not about 45, obviously, so Fox gets a pass.)

America is being run by horrible, fascist ideologues. Hopefully, we’ll have a free and fair election in 2020, if that’s not too much of a stretch, given what’s happening.
