Pet peeve about the media: Trump has no outlet now ? GMAFB....

GMAFB = Give Me A F****g Break

The man is STILL, regrettably, the POTUS. At any second, he can walk into the Press Briefing Room, order his people to alert the media, and HAVE A FREAKING PRESS CONFERENCE.

The man can, oh, I don't know, PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THE WAPO, OR NYT, OR FAUX NEWS.

He has outlets. He simply no longer has his favorite plaything, poor widdle dictator-wannabe.

eta: This quote is what set me off

The Twitter ban has also left the president without a public outlet for attacking Republicans who break with him.

I'm not going to link any of his tweets, but he is easily found. He knows what not to Tweet so he's not fully channeling 45**

Twitter he could spew anything he wanted and it was distributed far and wide, not only by Twitter and retweets, but media and every site on the internet screaming, DID YOU SEE WHAT TRUMP JUST TWEETED....... Even words that he misspelled and no one knew what they were became words. Don't say he has no outlet, but he already declared them to be fake.
