Trump media meltdown goes nuclear… after 1 week

National disasters fill Americans with grief, stress, and fear for the future.

America suffered a great disaster when a civilian airline and military helicopter crashed into one another, killing all 67 passengers of both aircraft…but the media think they are the real victims, because they have to live through Trump presidency.

The Fake News media have spent the last week melting down over the fact that a populist leader has returned to office.

Some of them even tried to blame the Beltway air crash on President Trump, who has been in office less than two weeks.

CNN’s Abby Phillips tried to point out that Donald Trump got rid of the Biden administration’s FAA administrator—who has exactly nothing to do with local air traffic—as though it were a salient point.

CBS “News” reporter Phil Williams seemed to pin the crash on Trump’s decision to clean out the overstaffed federal bureaucracy, claiming, “More people will likely die.”

He later deleted the message but added, “I fear the consequences of political decisions made without careful deliberation about the impact on human lives.”

The problem isn’t a new one: It’s a new strategy and coping mechanism for the liberal media—one they admit when they speak to each other.

“Exhausted yet?” Susan Glasser, asked in The New Yorker, one of the favorite journals of our self-appointed elites and media figures.

She pointed out all the ways the America-First administration had delivered on their campaign promises just “three full days since Donald Trump returned to the Presidency,” something they could never say about Trump’s predecessor.

To make matters worse, she wrote it last Thursday. The old media see everything slipping away, and they’re melting down.

One CNN talking head tried to deny reality when confronted with Trump’s approval rating. The network’s polling expert, Harry Enten, revealed Donald Trump made history twice: He became the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms and the only president whose approval rating is higher in his second term than anytime in his first term.

“I have a hard time believing this!” screamed Kate Bouldan in a high-pitched voice. She later said she wouldn’t believe Enten if he didn’t have the polling data to back up his claims.

CNN’s prime time anchor Jake Tapper tried to score a “gotcha” moment on Stephen Miller, President Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy.

When Tapper accused the Trump confidant of “demonizing” federal workers by pointing out that about nine out of 10 federal workers supported Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, Miller broke out laughing...and he wasn’t laughing with Tapper.

Some in the media are lashing out at the new Trump administration figures, such as White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, who dazzled conservatives and stunned liberal reporters on her first day on the podium.

Members of The View decided to respond by implying she’s not as intelligent as her predecessor, the notebook-flipping Karine Jean-Pierre.

“By the way, she’s been probably put in (to her job) because, according to Donald Trump, she’s a 10. You know that’s what it is!” said the 82-year-old Joy Behar, whom no one has ever accused of getting a job based on her looks.

Sometimes, they literally begin screaming, like late night “comedian” Stephen Colbert, who started yelling the Trump administration is “not normal” but “the media’s covering it like it’s any other political story!”

That was too much for Jon Stewart, who slammed Colbert and MSNBC’s anchors for describing Trump’s every move as “fascism,” something he said had became “a reflex” that had no bearing on reality.

Left-wing anchors now want people to rank the Trump administration “on a scale of Mussolini to the Holocaust.”

“It is not fascism!” said Stewart.

Yet another Democrat came out against liberal networks on another comedic show, Real Time with Bill Maher, last Friday.

“He’s doing what he said he was going to do!” said Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN star and Democrat.

The media are losing their minds, snapping under the “stress” and trying to figure out how to launch The Resistance 2.0.

CNN’s Brian Stelter tried to  outline the strategy for “journalists” who read his newsletter. “Should his remarks be shown live? Yes, sometimes. Should his deceitful claims be debunked by reporters? Yes. Should he dictate what’s considered ‘news’ at any given moment? No.”

But Stelter lost his show, and CNN is losing its entire network. The first 24-hour cable news network announced it will lay off six percent of its entire workforce—about 210 people.

Things have been so bad that CNN lost almost half of its value in just two years, plunging from $4.4 billion in 2021 (right after Donald Trump left office) to $2.3 billion in 2023 (two years into the puppet-like Biden administration).

President Trump couldn’t help taking a jab at the fall of his televised foes.

“They say we had the greatest week—opening week—in presidential history,” said Trump.” Even CNN is saying, ‘This guy is amazing.’ I couldn’t believe it. I said, ‘Did CNN really say that?’ ‘Cause nobody watches, so nobody was able to confirm.”

Trump stands triumphant over CNN’s biggest anti-Trump fanatic, Jim Acosta, who resigned intstead of taking a show that airs in the midnight hour.

In fact, Acosta quit live on the air, telling his hemorrhaging audience never to “bow down to a tyrant” or “give in to the lies.”

President Trump, as usual, blasted Acosta with both barrels.

“Wow, really good news!” Trump mocked.

“Jim Acosta, one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history, a major sleazebag, has been relegated by CNN Fake News to the Midnight hour, ‘Death Valley,’ because of extraordinarily BAD RATINGS (and no talent!),” wrote the president on Truth Social.

“Jim is a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up,” summarized President Trump before sending Acosta off with his best wishes: “Good luck Jim!”

If Jim Acosta and his ilk hope to survive the next four years—economically or psychologically—while spreading the same lies and misinformation as in his first term, it looks like they’re going to need all the luck, and prayer, they can get.
