Trump Vows To Sue In 2 Weeks To Snatch Washington Post, NYT Pulitzers

Donald Trump announced at his Texas rally Saturday that he is going to “sue” within two weeks to snatch away Pulitzer Prizes from The Washington Post and The New York Times for coverage of the Kremlin’s interference in America’s 2016 presidential election.

“Within the next two weeks, we’re suing the Pulitzer organization to have those prizes taken back,” Trump crowed at a rally in Robstown, where he stumped for MAGA candidates.

He said Pulitzer Prizes should be going to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro.




Trump first threatened to sue over the awards in June. But in July the Pulitzer board rejected his repeated demands to revoke the 2018 national reporting awards given to the two newspapers, noting that reviews found no reason to rescind the prizes.

If he is going to sue in two weeks, why not sue tomorrow?
Just like everything else he's going to do in "two weeks".
Total BULLSHIT.

Those awards. He’s not worth responding to. Especially something as stupid as that. He has no effing standing for anything anymore. Why, why do people let him play these games with them? So frustrating.

... the election from Hillary Clinton? With the help of Komrade Vlad? The GOP is so proud of that, I know they will love that reminder.

It's funny af - all of these bored looking people behind Trump (what IS that slap he has all over his face - is his orange makeup turning or something?) periodically springing to life and bobbing their placards when presumably the teleprompter flashes "applause", then subsiding again into bored somnolence, only to spring to life again at the next cue, but each time they flap their placards a little less enthusiastically as he drones on.

He's nuts. And Hannity, Pirro, and Carlson don't deserve a damn thing. Trump only thinks that because they kiss his ass and constantly suck up to him. Their treasonous asses should be thrown in the nut house.
