The mainstream media has been criticized before — but have reporters ever been chastised so openly by a major presidential candidate?
Republican nominee Donald Trump’s heated war with the media reached new heights as he turned a press conference on his $5.6 million raised for veterans’ charities into a sparring match with reporters pressing him on the issue — and told one particular reporter, “You’re a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well.”
Ouch.
“The press should be ashamed of themselves,” Trump railed during a Tuesday news conference, called to announce a list of 41 charities that received a cut of the money he raised during a highly publicized January fundraiser.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee had previously declined to disclose which charities had received the $6 million he’d claimed to have raised, and his campaign had gone back and forth about how much pledged money had come through.
Throughout Tuesday’s 40-minute question-and-answer session, Trump accused the media of being “unbelievably dishonest” in their treatment of him.
“I sent people checks of a lot of money. … And instead of being like, ‘Thank you very much, Mr. Trump,’ or ‘Trump did a good job,’ everyone’s saying: ‘Who got (the money)? Who got it? Who got it?’ And you make me look very bad,” he complained. “I have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job.”
While Trump has frequently made the media a punching bag, calling out reporters during his signature rallies, the taunts Tuesday were intense, even for him. The billionaire mogul interrupted his recitation of the list of groups receiving portions of the money to complain about the way reporters had called up charities to try to verify his contributions. He called the political press “disgusting” and dismissed one ABC News reporter, Tom Llamas, as “a sleaze.”
This isn’t the first criticism Llamas has received from Trump, either.
@realDonaldTrump @TomLlamasABC If one person dies in an accidental shooting, Tom wants to ban guns. If an illegal kills, he defends it!

While Trump’s fundraiser, held opposite a Fox News debate he chose to boycott, should have been a positive story for Trump, his campaign’s refusal to disclose details about the money raised became a sticking point.
Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, had originally said that the Iowa event had raised about $4.5 million — less than the $6 million originally announced by Trump — because some who’d pledged contributions had backed out.
Trump’s campaign said it had taken months to carefully vet each of the groups receiving money.
Trump, who has refused calls to moderate his temperament, also said he has no plans to change his tone with the press if he’s elected to the White House.
“Yeah, it is going to be like this,” he said of potential future news conferences led by a President Trump.
The Associated Press contributed to this article.
Of course the so called main stream media, is going after Mr. Trump. He isn’t a leftest liberal, and speaks for others than the ultra left in Hollywood, and the failing colleges in the country.
If the media were half as quick to reveal the shenanigans of Hillary, she would have been in jail by now.
Of course the media was not thrilled with other who don’t blindly follow the Marxist line
If The Donald wants to be a candidate, he needs to realize that we expect him to withstand the same scrutiny as other candidates. If he promises something, he will be held to it. If he lies, we want to hear about it even though cataloging his ‘mistruths’ would be a full-time job for an army of interns.
All of obamas promises turned to crap and unfilled.
YEAH PURE CRAP BURGERS sold to VOTING IDIOTS ( aka PROGRESSIVE ONES) by MSM and Networks
Joe: Why did Obama get blocked at every turn – GOP congress!
That’s a joke from you, right?
Obama ignors the congress and uses exec. privalage to circumvent Congress. 95% of his exec privalage are oposed by the people.
Sheila…do your research insted of going by what the news media says…only fools believe the lies.
The reason is simple. He did not have the brains to go to congress when he had a veto proof count in both houses. Second when he got in office and the Republicans went to him to try to work with him and he told them that he didn’t care what their ideas were as he had won and they could go pound sand.
Everything of his should have been. blocked
Obama got blocked at every turn because he is trying to force his socialist agenda on to a country that does not want socialism. I repeat, his agenda, not the agenda of democrats or republicans in most cases. His overspending as massed a debt from which we may never recover from. In 1917 Vladimir Lennon said that socialized medical care is the cornerstone to a socialist state. Obama care is socialist healthcare. Anyone with a forth grade education should know that every country that has tried socialism has eventually failed.
Marriage is a sacrament defined by God, not Obama. If Obama wants to make friends with the Muslims, he should try to stop abortions instead of encouraging them. After all, Muslims see abortion as murder. Obama likes to force his own agenda down the throat of our military. That is why we are in trouble in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. He does not follow the advice of our Generals, and when they disagree with him, he fires them.
I could go on for days about the terrible job this anti-American President has done. Yes, Obama was blocked when possible, and thank God we have Republicans with the courage and strength to do the right thing. Now, before you call me a racist, check out Ben Carson’s speeches on youtube. Ben Carson is a brilliant man with far more education, knowledge of history, foreign affairs, the constitution, how our Government is supposed to work, etc. then Obama ever dreamed of knowing. He can elaborate on the above far better than me, so if you still have doubts, check out his speeches. Or check out Reagan’s 1965 speech on youtube. Maybe with a little education, you will learn something. If you continue to listen to the liberal press, you’ll simply remain ignorant.
Yeah! I noticed every thing he promised turned out to be just the opposite of the desireable sounding promises. He paints a rosy picture of what he thinks it will do, but in reality it turns out dissapointingly worse.
Finally aGOP candidae not afraid to ” TELL THE MSM TOADS and POLITICALLy biased networks Talking Heads” what they really are all about….Donald will need to watch any future tirade but the BIASED Non Journalistic types have been put on notice
Yeah Ted Cruz did that but it is not uncommon for trump to steal his ideas. and then act like he came up with it.
Mich put your toys back in your corner and go do a timeout , your gonna vote the way your mommy & daddy voted because you can’t think for yourself
And yet, Cruz is a gone gator..
If he puts solid ideas in action why not take credit for them, and you cannot expect lying Teddy to have many solid ideas.
Don’t you get it,,,,Your guy lost,,,,BIG TIME.
Time to back the winner
I was for Ted Cruz but now I am for Trump, we need to win and I hope you feel that way too!
Trump stole who’s ideas?
The press must indeed be ashamed of their so-called “profession”. They look for dirt and dirt only. Then, if they can’t find it, they’ll create it. The media must realize that people are tired of their shenanigans. If you’re not for Trump, don’t vote for him – that’s what elections are for. Don’t smear everyone you feel you can. Trump did right in slandering you and your profession; it was high time someone did – publicly!
If they had taken Obama to the cleaners for everything he did and everything they needed to know about every Republican, he would never have been POTUS because we would have found out what a crooked sleaze he is. And we would not be in this mess.
How much does it matter how much $$$ he raised for the wounded vets. Whatever it was it’s more than Killary sent to them. Get over it asshole media
I see a problem. Trump runs from a debate. He holds a fundraiser for vets. Yes, vets need to be supported. I have many active service members in my family: marine, army, air force.
But trump refuses to disclose the amt and the groups.
We hear different amounts.
We are told the money was dispersed. We are told djt already put his 1 million in his foundation with other peoples money.
But then we see he dispersed money last week. He gave his 1 mil last week, on a personal check. Not a foundation check.
He claimed it took this long to vet. But his vetting process did not involve looking at their taxes. It consists of 2 questions, and what other people say.
He said he did not vet the group that he sent his million to.
If the press didn’t co tinue to vet. . . maybe that money would still be in his acct.
I think he uses veterans just as he uses anyone: to garner votes. Say anything to get votes.
And of course there are rumors that he did not donate to the 9/11 fund or veteran groups till now.
his tax returns will show the donations since9/11.
Tell trump to release his taxes, a couple of yrsworth.
And trump claims he doesn’t want the credit. Weird since he brings this up every rally and interview.
And of course it is well known that he banishes vets from working the side walk in front of trump plaza.
Me thinks his love for vets is just for show.
and methinks you haven’t a clue.
what you thinks means nothing , we finally have a guy with balls enough to speak the truth and you can’t see it , your a jelly fish that rolls with the tide
Good cherry picking Theresa.
Me thinks you are making everything up
Did you take notice of the ‘Butcher of Benghazi’s’ claim that she too, gives generously to Veterans groups, although declining to name names or list amounts. (and just where is the lame street media regarding pouncing on Hitlary)
We know for a fact that she is a bold faced chronic liar, and trust does not run in the Clinton family.
Her husband, Billy Boy (or Billy Bob, can’t remember which), thinks marital fidelity has something to do with record players. Go figure!!!!
He expects fair treatment. If anyone would look back over Trump’s giving for the last thirty years you would find a kind, decent man that contributes to every cause. He has given to Veterans for years, paid of mortgages of the down and out and helped many without ever allowing anyone to mention his kindness. The reason he mentions these low life reporters and people like you questioning his giving is nobody but him did anything for the Vets and it is not for show. Only the liberal idiots would say such a thing, your disgusting.
Trump fails to disclose the amount he raised for vets? Trump is right. Hillary has taken in $158 million to the Clinton Foundation, and can barely show that 10% of any money taken in was ever given to charity. She could barely produce any evidence of giving anything related to the vets. Yet, the press want to focus on whether or not Trump raised the full $6 million or something less. Who cares. Hillary has not given anywhere near $6 million to anyone but herself. Trump deserves to receive the credit he deserves for bringing attention to the veterans instead of criticism for raising $5.5 versus $6 million. This is a very stupid subject for the media to focus on.
Whatever the amount that was disbursed to the ORGANIZATIONS. How much actually went to the wounded warriors or troop that needed it after the ORGANIZATIONS got their cut. With organization fees disbursed to organizers, people with six figure paroles and other expenses. The troops that need it only get maybe 30 to 40% of the money raised.
Trump supports our military and our vets. Clinton gets them Killed and should be tried for treason and murder
Do you all realize, that while this was going on, he was fighting the crooked Republican Party and the Stop Trump movement along with a lot of other nay sayers. He also funded his own campaign and did not take money until now. The bunch of you can find any bad things and made up bad things but do not give any credit for doing a good job.
Amil
How much money did Hillary raise? She says that she and Bill are broke. Hmmm…. Let’s see, she stole the white house furniture when she and Bill left Washington, but they made her put it back. She has been linked to more scandals than all the other previous first ladies combined!!!
She pretends to protect the poor but has never given as much as 1% of her income to the poor.
The documented lies she has told are off the charts. How has this cow been able to fool so many people? Yep, the liberal press.
@ Theresa brex: So honey your saying that Trump’s donation came out of his very own personal bank account? If the truth be known your personal honesty is right up there with Bill and Hillary’s
The inaccuracy and the injustice of your comment does not deserve a comment although you certainly appear to be another sleaze-bag in a sheep costume,
Excellent reply.
This is for Mr Sam (above) when the hell is a “six figure paroles” learn spell check you dumb ass
Oh you think Killary is innocent?? Voting for Killary!!! Are you a never Trump Troll??? Your comments won’t change what we really know about the truth about trump and Killary!! Trump has the guts to tell the truth that the media and politians will never do!!!
Oracle? More accurate would be “OCLI” …One Completely Lacking Insight….Scrutiny is fine and appropriate…The discussion here is regarding Trump’s fundraiser for veterans and the false claims that he retained the money collected. Maybe you should attempt to address that issue instead of engaging in vague blithering. Trump didn’t lie about the money he raised for veterans. Instead, the “news” media grossly distorted the truth such that it became more prevarication than accuracy while raising suspicion via innuendo. Identifying your handle as a misnomer is a gross understatement.
Obviously you are not a Donald supporter we trust Donald that is the diff.
How about Hilary Clinton she is a cheat,a liar,a fraud and and outright con artist supported by her friends of the same ilk.
I totally agree, but what people are not understanding is that EACH of the entities that are to be recipients of the money from the fundraiser for Veterans MUST be vetted. This takes time, and when you are talking millions of dollars, and lots of entities have jumped aboard to get a piece of the pie, vetting cannot happen overnight.
Not only do these entities need to be vetted, the determination must also be made as to which entities receive what dollar amounts, based on need.
Instant gratification is not reality folks. Let the man take time to do this, and do it right, all while running a massive presidential campaign. Thank you Mr. Trump for being the outstanding citizen that you have proved yourself to be. I will be voting for you, (him) and yes, I am a woman!
The media is lying about Donald Trump I am so sick of it and that gullible people believe it, he always said he didn’t want to use this event for political gain he has been releasing the money all along but the media doesn’t mention that…Then their is the lie about a model turned girlfriend she had to come out the next day and defend herself cause she never said that and it goes on and on..New York POst, Washington post, Ass Press, CNN, MSNBC, to name a few get your news somewhere else,Try Fox with Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity.
Really?Why dont we know more about all the crooked deals from Clinton?There is way lot more of her than Trump.From the Emails all the way down to deaths of our four people in Libya and the Uranium mines deal to the Russians in exchange for money to her phony foundation and the Liberal media dont report that to the public.
Yeah but do they criticize the left as much as they do Trump or do they defend them or withhold facts that could be detrimental to their favored candidate.
Bull
And others haven’t lied!!!!!!! The media is playing again with their favorite lefties and it make them-the media- look bad in my eyes.. Donald Trump is trying to change the way things are since Obamer and his cronies have been in office, do you want Hillareee in office??? I sure don’t, America better wake up and vote for Trump so a murderer, liar, cheater woman won’t become the next mistake for a president. Trump has his faults sure, but, seems to me he wants to turn America around.
Everyone in America knows the media twists, distorts, fantasizes, and flat out lies about all political news. Thy are not fooling any one but fools, idiots and communists. Then there are also those who believe the political press because they have no logic, morals, or interest in who is running the country.
MSNBC is the absolute worst of them.
Does MSNBC think for one nano-second that they are not trying there best to shoot down Mr. Trump. LOL What fools you are!
They must be paid by a narcissist idiot who demands everyone on MSNBC discredit Mr. Trump or be fired. They make it to blantant that a person in their right mind can see right through them.
If this was not true, why haven’t they been harassing crooked Hillary about the 6 BILLION dollars she spent or swindled from our government as Secretary of Defense?
I don’t blame the Donald for chastising the punk reporter. I vote for Mr. Trump using a rubber bullet gun for those asshole reporters like Tom LLamas.
Oracle Guy you are really stupid if you believe what you wrote.
So Trump is supposed to accept scrutiny but Obama and Hillary Clinton get a free pass? Yeah right! Typical Liberal double standard.
Old Guy, your idol Bill Clinton has gladly volunteered to confirm the lung power of that army of Interns that your willing to raise for him.
What other candidate? I don’t see hillary getting such scrutiny and there is a lot being ignored my most of the media, even excusing a potential indictment not being a problem for her continuing to be president. She gets excuses and lies all the time. She is on tape saying all candidates lie during an election and that is a fact but its what we do that matters. Sounds like Pelosi when she said they’d have to pass obamacare to see whats in it.
Thank God for the persistent press that shamed Trump into doing what he promised months ago after he wimped out on the Republican debates where he was shown as a light-weight intellect and a leftist Liberal. Finally the veterans get the money that was promised to them. What a low-life Trump reveals himself to be.
crist: Are you that dumb??? This takes time. People who pledge money is not received that day!! This process can take months until all is settled. Trump was not trying to screwed the vets. You also have to vet the so called vet groups because they are not honest. Some claim they are for vets but aren’t. They are trying to screwed the vets and taking money for themselves. Trump has to vet these groups. Just like some super pacs saying they are taking donations for the Trump campaign such as Ed Rollins. he is a fraud and actually has connections to Killary. These groups are trying to use Trumps name but are actually frauds.
What about Hellary’s criminal activities, her fraudulent money schemes, her taking money from foreign governments for her influence, her murders, her lying, and the media never says a word. You talk about low-life, she lives in the bottom of a septic tank!
Well, um, uh, that’s different, after all, she’s a democrat, right?
Under trumps left nut , there is more class than you will ever have
Yeah, Cristo, Hillary had better watch out, because the “persistent press” is coming after her lies next, right..
This statement could only come from a Low life ignorant troll
You sir are a typical clinton supporter a liberal idiot that who keeps covering up for her crimes,and making stupid excuses for lying bullshit. Trump had to follow government guide lines for vetting these groups,show me one dime that killary has given anyone that didn’t end up oweing her a big return. This bi–h caused four good men to be murdered and then “What differnce does it make”. She is a lying theiving murder and should be in prison now for treason and selling 20% of our urainiam to the Russians for her profit
Anything will do when it comes to Trump. The media are trying to control the election. Spinning anything in favor of Clinton. Never before has a presidential nominee fought back so aggressively. No one in the GOP has the balls to stand up to media smearing tactics the way Trump does. The man deserves respect and praise for his “tell it like it is” campaign. Meanwhile Clinton the criminal talks rubbish. What stupidity!
The law suit against Trump was initiated some years ago by responsible Attorney Generals. Hillary had nothing to do with it. Trump says press should be ashamed. In fact Trump should be ashamed of himself for the Trump University fiasco where several people with their life savings lost them. Far from becoming real estate millionaire they all became real estate dreamers. The press is not going to be deterred by attacks on them. They will write facts.
Exactly!!!
I agree with Trump – why doesn’t the media question how much of the millions her and Bill have earned from giving speeches to the “Banks and Wall Street” has been donated to the Veterans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really doubt anything well maybe to their own foundation for the tax benefits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they really want to write stories all year long and win a pulizer Dig DEEP on the Clintons, they have plenty of sleaze, money laundering, uneplained deaths close to them, etc, etc, etc…….No these leftists media pricks would rather try to concoct a story…..and steer attention away from the Clintons…This is the oldest tactic in the book….Most if not all of these reportters are products from the LOINS of the hippie DOGS**T generation in the 1960’s
You nailed it, who is protecting them ? One guess !
The truth hurts
Well said Anthony.
Trump is right !
Good for you Mr. Trump! ……… e : )
Give them hell, Donald
This is just another example of the liberal asshole media that loves Killary and Slick Willy
I wonder how much the Clintons give these news papers to bash people who are wanting to get our country on track again instead of running off of a cliff like we are headed with Obaaamaaa and his friend Killary!!! $19,000,000,000,000.00 in debt. Who’s going to be stuck with that bill? Obviously you all know it will be us taxpayers
19 trillion dollars doesn’t register to most people. Lets substitute seconds for dollars for comparison. 1 million seconds equals 12 days. ! billion seconds equals 31 years. And1 trillion seconds equals 31,000 years. Now multiply that by 19 to see why we will never get out of debt.
Joe: Why did Obama get blocked at every turn – GOP congress!
If you taxed every household in the U.S. 100% of their gross income for the rest of their life, it would never be paid off. The interest will amount to 65 trillion. That is how the fed is squeezing you.
You are slaves to debt. For life.
But hillary will find out htt the press is fickle. Because of their extreme examination of Trump they will be forced to do a cursory exam of hillary. And when htat exam sho blood loss they will increase the examination on her to find a hemorrhage of monies and bad deeds shifting the focus to her.
Really, I am so fed up with the press and these tabloid type stores. Stick to issues and maybe … just maybe the press can earn back the respect they think they deserve.
Trump is wasting his time. The media has no idea what he is talking about. The media know no shame. They don’t even know what it is.
Hillary is a piece of shit. Good girl Monica for that Oval office visit
Come on. Hillary is green with envy because Monica prefers men over Hillary.
Reporters; Get the facts, turn them around to have job, they give there opinion on the news, I know this is true for just put your name in the paper and find out, my name is Mr. Lory Idlewine, and we will get CAPITALISM or COMMUNISM.
Mr. Trump signs his donation checks on the front, not on the back like Hillary and the Clinton foundation. Why not audit where Clinton foundation funds have gone like has been done to Mr. Trump
A REAL… audit requires service from the IRS, for tracking money movement, and Banks and the DOJ… all three as the ‘Foundations are ‘off shored’, also the assistance from other countries.. like Canada.
Obama controls the IRS
the DOJ and Primary Dealers…
Canada has a progressive now also and it is a question if he would allow the authorities to push the legal system to gain access for any investigation.
I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Trump. The mainstream media are either lying paid trolls by the left or they are just too lazy to do their homework and print the truth. They are a disgrace.
So true Pamela!
Yes they are but he is full of crap. they had a right to question him and if he had given out the money then why exactly were the checks dated the same dam date as the story broke?????
The Checks weren’t all ‘dated’ and ‘they’ weren’t asking for info but demanding an accounting.
60 days hardly seems much time to move 20 some donations from inception through vetting to checks being deposited.
These media have been harping for the sake of harping, creating a story where none existed…
and Trump comes out ahead after the rabid insinuations were leveled and disproved.
Now those same idiots take credit as if they raised the money and it would have only got to the Veterans because of the media.
Yeah… they are sleaze and could care less except for the next harping.
Thanks Mike!! Finally someone with a brain. Not like Michelle!!
Michelle: Your logic is not for these narrow minded ignorants! They show their IQ is non-measurable!!
Michelle Really!!! Do your homework!!! This process takes time. Trump can’t give the money the day of the fundraiser. It can take months.Some people don’t follow through with their pledge and everyone has to be vetted. Even the vet groups wanting the money. Soe groups saying they are for vets have to be vetted. They could be frauds and wanted to pocket the money. Just like Ed rollins claiming a pac taking donations for the Trump campaign when he actually has connections to Killary. Get Real you people before you open your big MOUTH!! You believe everything that the LSM tells you???
Michelle, excellent point. And I don’t believe in coincidence.
Yeah, it’s no coincidence that both you and Michelle came up with the same lame brained “theory.”
We need a tough leader in the White House who will take no guff!
He will do what is necessary to keep Americans safe.
I wish that the elections were held today so he can get the job done of cleaning up Washington!
That sounds like Peron or Berlusconi — Not the models I want.
No, you want Hillary, right? Same thing.
When I first heard Trump speak , it was such a contrast to the way the political world speaks, that I reeled into confusion and thought I would never vote for such a man. The more I heard him, the more I saw that the openness, the frank comments, the things I never heard in the stiffly repressed politician, the more I began to see that what he was saying was what I was thinking. We all got used to the constipated politicians who said what people wanted to hear, ignoring truth in the process. The contrast to Trumps makes these old-fashioned politicos look like devious lechers who do not want people to know the truth. Now that I’ve experienced Trump, I don’t think I can ever tolerate the standard politician ever again. And what a scramble it is for all those political liars when Trump is around. And it’s about time someone put the political press in their place. They are supposed to write the truth, not invent it to push their own agendas.
Well said.
Reporter Tom Llamas must have fell out of bed on his head on the mourning of May 31, 2016. He made a total ass of himself. I hope he gets his head out of his butt & starts honest reporting
ABC is Hillary cover up station. We all know that.
You can add CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NY TIMES, NY DAILY NEWS, HUFF POST, etc. etc. to that
The media want to control America policy and who get elected to the white house.
I wish you luck on that. will never happen….
No good deed goes unpunished. And now the vets are forgotten, and the media made it all about themselves “doing their job”. I think Trump should take it a step further, and show how Republicans in general are demonized by the press (not just him). He should also point out that the Clintons were among those responsible for the housing collapse.
Too bad the press refused to properly investigate Obummer and the Clintons. Vince Foster walked down a muddy path to commit suicide, but managed to do so without getting one bit of dirt or mud on his shoes … Kind of like the lies by Killery & Obummer on Benghazi. The liberal press and pundits are silent to this day. No one is reporting the secret importing of inverted Muslims by this regime. I thought treason was an impeachable offense, but the gutless congress sells America down the river! Go Trump!
One can hope they will finally begin to vet trump. Just not report on all the !lying crap, but point out the lies, and his bad past.
I agree they did not vet Obama, at all. They did not report his past, his hideous votes, his words. And noone listened to us.
Now, trump,with an R scotch taped behind his name. We want hi. Vetted. We bring up his past, his interviews and varied positions. And are again ignored.
Obama is a failure. America was warned,not by the press,but by conservatives. Now trump, we are warning you of the wrong direction he will take us, ex: dissent will not be allowed. And the press and many Americans ignore us,again.
get back under the bridge, paid troll. We’ll tell you when to come out.
“Dissent will not be allowed?” Take a look at Trump’s rallies, the only people protesting and often times protesting violently are George Soros’ goons.
The media is a joke. Same as the thing we have in the White House disguised and using the title of President. If the media had spent as much time vetting obummer as they have Trump, the USA wouldn’t be in the mess we are in now. I am 70-years old, an American who is black. I am a veteran of the United States Air Force. A former police officer and I didn’t vote for obummer neither time. They can’t say I am playing the race card for calling a spade a spade. So I am calling the sorry ass boy a spade who is a loser. And the useless Republicans who are afraid to call this boy out on anything because of being called a racist should be ashamed of themselves. Grow some balls and put him in his place for the remainder of his time in office.
I am one pissed off American Citizen.
J.B.
Thank you for your service….
Donald Trump may talk harsh and carry a big stick but he is a good man family wise, business wise and he honestly cares about people. All of you demos and repubs don’t want him in the White House for one reason,you don’t want him because of the corruption there is in the White House and you don’t want any outsider that you can’t control and he is just exactly what we need. He is the best thing for America at this point if we have anykind of chance to repair our nation, As long as you have got people like Obama, Hillary and their cronies things are going to get worse. I cannot fathom anyone allowing Hillary to even run for office it is well know all over the world she is a career criminal and doesn’t care about anything but herself and what she can take from people American will never survive under her. She has done a lot of bad things and it is nothing to her. The guys in Bengazi she just could care less about their familes and what she did. She says what difference does it make . It makes a lot of difference to their familes you witch, She is a criminal and she needs to be done just like any other person put her butt in prison. How could you ever trust her as far as security. I am ashamed at this point of my life that I am a life long republican but the demos has never been an acceptable choice I came from a good decent family with morals. I voted for all the Bush family and to see how they are doing now just really gets me, they are not even true to their party. I have one last thing to say will someone please ban that discusting Mitt Romney from TV or anything else I might see him on.
Trump is a successful businessman and knows how to negotiate, plan, implement and lead a large company as well as the USA when he is elected president.
This country needs a leader that knows how to balance a budget and spend our tax dollars wisely. The politicians in DC as well as Hitlery Clinton and BeMarx Sanders all like to steal & spend our tax dollars, pass laws that only affect the constituents and not the politicians.
The media likes to rail on Trump because they are not journalist – they are leftist hacks because they work for either,
NBC – Never Been Credible
CBS – Credibility Begins Somewhere else
ABC – Anything But Credible
CNN – Credibility Not Needed
Yup – Trump has said he will “print” more $ to pay off national debt! He will file bankruptcy to start all over and as a biliionare pays No taxes !
Sounds like a plan!!!
You guys want to believe him so badly!
Good luck. . .
so then just more of the same with oblama. if he doesn’t like their questions or they dare have the nerve to question his made up facts they will chastised?? what a friggin joke/embarrassment!!!!!!! he claimed he raised 6 mill yet veterans groups were saying they had NOT received the money. Interesting how the checks were dated the same dam date the wapo story showed up. he is only pissed because they made him give the money away. he thought he could keep it. what an ass.
And Hillary’s paid shill vomits again.
How much money has Hillary raised for the vets? How many jobs has Hillary created? How is Hillary going to keep the US safe?
The media in the United States has been allowed to create reality at will for years. It is time that someone of Donald Trumps courage to education the American people how corrupt and socialistic mainstream media is.
Even Fox News has fallen into the negative stream of influence.
SENSATIONALISM for the sake of CAPITALISM
Go Trump!
it has been the me to dodia aganst trump from from day one.all you deed to do just listen to what they say’
Rosa
Only Mr. Trump can bring America back
Time came when we need a good a smart businessman leading our country
The president is not a CEO. He cannot govern as one unless he ignores the constitution.
And he did say he would rule unconstitutionally. He said he will write executive orders,but wi!l do it better than Obama.
This bodes authoritarian and dangerous.
Not taken out of context, when did he ever say he would rule unconstitutionally?
Too bad bankrupt dogging’ little donnie TRUMP is not the one to manage this country Get ready folks, the joke is on and the name is DJT !!!!
Another paid troll
Maybe you’re wrong jwb, perhaps the joke is killin’, theivin’, lyin’ HRC!!
true, neither of them deserve this nomination. Don’t anyone think I am for HRC, I am not a supporter of hers as she is evil as well …………
I think the people want to have confidence in their leaders. I guess that’s why Republicans are picking a confidence man.
Michele – Keep drinking the cool-aid. You must be a tax receiver not a taxpayer.
I suppose you saw the checks and when they were dated. So you think he should have handed out the money along with the million he personally donated to anyone who had their hand out and not vet the groups like he did?
This is the difference between an accountable person and a politician who is handing out -not their money but our tax dollars.
You must be really happy with all the billions Obamass gave to all the fraudulent companies and some of them were not even American companies.
The Government doesn’t produce anything and doesn’t earn anything. It is a BIG LEACH it sucks out our hard earned money and gives it to those who didn’t earn it and don’t deserve it.
But you are blind to the truth, don’t want to hear it and will keep voting for BLOOD SUCKING leftist politicians.
Trump was lauding himself for having raised and donated a certain amount of money. It is the natural and proper role of the press to check such claims. But Trump avoided answering legitimate queries as to which groups he had given money to. It was only when a reporter started asking on Twitter for any-one who’d gotten the money that Trump responded. And then it turns out he only gave the money on the same day as all the tweeting occurred — in other words, long after his claim. As for time needed to vet, that seems pretty bogus considering that the group he gave to is one he had given to before and the speed with which he named the organization that he said he had given to.
Yes, Trump has given a lot of money to vets in the past, but this recent event is not what he made it out to be.
The press should demand to know how much was received and where the money went. They are doing their job to check with the charities and verify the receipt. It’s a shame that the press has spent the last seven and a half years acting as cheerleaders for Obama rather than doing their job in regards to him and his administration.
So true!
So Trump’s a blow hard phoney–what’s new?
Yeah, I’m missing what you think of Hillary.
The damned New York City based media that favors the damned POS Clinton’s should & ought to be ashamed of themselves like
Donal Trump says. Donald Trump stands up to old money, stands up to the damned status quo, tells it like it is, has nothing to hide.
The damned POS white trash, sugar coated racist bigot, anti military, anti veteran, pro Iranian, pro PLO, bullying, lying, cheating, stealing
Vote & election rigging, cut throat, murderous, crooked, corrupt, disrespectful, no good ROTTON Clinton’s hide everything and are scared
is loved & coddled by the damned New York City based Liberal media.
The press is biased and you know it !
Don’t make excuses for them – they are not journalists they are leftist hacks like the network they work for.
NBC – Never Been Credible
CBS – Credibility Begins Somewhere else
ABC – Anything But Credible
CNN – Credibility Not Needed
They are nice and politically correct with the Left and gotcha with the Right and when they don’t have anything they spin it.
It’s a damn shame that “WE THE PEOPLE” have no say through our corrupted bunch of reps in the funny farm called our Capital.
I know there are a lot of US ( Americans ), that no longer trust our Government and Leaders !!! This gang of traitors running our government are all a part of something bigger to bring our Country and our Constitution to rubble. The in-crowd that has been taking our TAX DOLLARS and flubbing it to all the dirty back deals and countries that hate us has to change, and it isn’t going to happen with the Clintons back in OUR HOUSE !!! Vote for Mr. Trump and get some dignity back in D.C. and our Country, and let him and his team CLEAN HOUSE !!
No one knows what Donald will do. But one thing is certain, it will be better than what Bush and Obama brought us.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS NO LONGER EXISTS IN AMERICA. THE PRESS IS A PROPAGANDA TOOL FOR THE POWERS THAT BE. IT IS CONTROLLED BY THE SPONSORS OF THEIR PARTICULAR SHOW OR NEWSPAPER. REPORTING THE TRUTH GETS YOU FIRED!
IT LOOKS LIKE THE PEOPLE ARE SLOWLY WAKING UP TO THE TRUTH!!!! GET IT?
When your hen house is under attack by foxes you don’t send in another fox to clean them out. You send in a farmer with a shot gun.
I am 82 years old, and I have often said since I was in my 30s that the freedom of the press can very well be the death of this nation. It became a part of the Bill of Rights when the pulpit was the major news media. As the pulpits grew colder and colder, the press grew more and more independent in the hands of those whose value system was not centered in the principles of Judeo/Christian values. In the beginning, America was truly a “Christian nation.” When we throw that heritage to the dogs, as we are doing now, the dogs will eat US! Donald Trump is the only candidate in my knowledge to dare put the radical-liberal press in their place. He is also the only one who is saying he wants to pass a law allowing a person to sue them. They are out of control! They have wormed themselves into a position where they have the ear of the people, and can be truly said to be “The fourth arm of the government.” I say to Mr. Trump, “SICCUM!”
Righteous wisdom from another old man, 78
The mainstream media NEVER goes into any investigation of where Hillary’s “Clinton Foundation” money laundering/influence peddling money goes. It certainly never goes to charity! They will minutely investigate everything Trump does, but insist that Hillary be left alone to commit more crime than a serial killer or smash and grab artist!
This kind of media behavior lead to the rise of Adolf Hitler before WWII and helped to popularize Fidel Castro in the U.S. before he announced that he was a bloodthirsty communist. Trump is right in that the media sides with inherent evil.
Do, I totally agree with you. Now if we can only convince the people who have been blind-sighted by all the bull-crap they have been handed since they were in grade school….. maybe, just maybe we will see this country become GREAT AGAIN. (I am 82 as well)
Wow there is a lot of comments on here! I have to agree with most, Hillary, Bill, Broc and the rest of the carrier politician are rich, stingy crooks. The Donald is a success story, not a crooked leaching get rich off the back of the Americans politician that we are all sick and tired of. That includes Mitch McConnell. Harry ,and Nancy
Here’s how i see the RealPolitik behind this:
The OWG/NWO people have an agenda, partly spelled out even before the end of WW2, which is to form up the world into roughly ten “regions,” and call them “Unions.” The EU is an established reality; they want the same for a NAU, a North American Union, consisting of Mexico, the US, and Canada.(eventually, they want to “merge” all of these “regions” into a One World Government run by unelected and accountable-to-no-one Banksters.)
These wealthy bastards want a One World Government, and will do – have DONE – anything to get it. They own the media…especially reporters. OF COURSE they’re going to impugn the motives of a generous man. They HAVE to; Trump stands in the way of their plans to dissolve America in favor of a NAU. His talk of “America First”(akin, so it seems, to the Britain First movement) is ANATHEMA to the plans of these rich SOB’s.
If Trump gets elected, there’s a GREAT chance that the NWO goons will have their timetable set back by a decade or more, and perhaps made PERMANENTLY invalid via the ongoing public disclosures of their plans…which would be a Good Thing for the human race. This is why Trump is the bravest man i know; he KNOWS that these bastards have this agenda, he’s DETERMINED to stop it, AND he knows they’ll do their level best to KILL HIM or his family to get their effing program back on-track.
D’OweBama has already stated that Trump will NEVER be president, and he said it with certainty, knowing that the evil bastards who financed him (and trotted him out as the latest shill to deceive and betray America and her people) will certainly do their best to end him, one way or another. “Two Words,” D’OweBama said, “Predator drones. You’ll never see them coming.” Remember, this Muslimi asshole has already CLAIMED the right to kill anyone, anywhere, at any time for any reason…Constitution-be-damned, Rule of Law be-damned, accountability be damned.
The Liar has been on-board with the OWG/NWO assholes since BJ Billy was king of Arkansas, and they show their loyalty by ensuring that no (or as few as possible) negative press about them appears in the horns of the Beast that they own. This is why alternative online news reportage is invaluable, once you gain the skills to discern who is or is not trustworthy.
We are all sick of the lying liberal press their bias is so obvious it stinks, no one with any brain thought at all know Carl, Kelly and all the rest are total losers and lie like a dog, they would rather have a stinking crooked Hillary as President as what the majority of real true red blooded Americans. Even FOX has now become or quickly moving to the head of the class I personally have become sick enough to throw up rather then listen to the bunch of crap most of them now scared that we have a person who will represent a strong American economy, bring back jobs, owes no one but feels someone has to speak for us for a change, the rat Paul Ryan has shown his side, its called his own, he cares nothing for his country just his making head lines showing he is against change he has not done a damn thing, he couldn’t even question Hilary Clinton with his lame questions, he was for sale and they bought him off just give him a little bit of power and prestige and the Speaker makes an ass of himself can’t support what the majority wants I hope Trump never looks in his direction again Trump did his part and more I would never had a meeting with the idiot and certainly would not look for his endorsement, who needs it, he as out of touch as the rest. I say like the rest throw the whole bunch out and start all over with honest people who like me would like to have a vote to throw these selfish bunch of bums, don’t take a chance at these bastards sitting on their ass as they have for decades living off our money, passing legislation that gives them free everything while winking at the rest, I guarantee that the vote to start all over would win and we would all get a chance to see the light of the American Dream again.. I was a fund raiser for a Senate seat and Ronald Reagan invited me to the White House made numerous tapes for our commercials and was an honest and great American, with his help we raised millions of dollars and forced out the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee who thought he was too politically powerful that I could not see he never ran again, and he didn’t. I was an oil and gas producer and no one knew who I was but starting with Howard Baker and Eddie Chiles whose wonderful wife was Chairperson of the Rep. party of Texas whose radio show was called I’m mad to Eddie helped to see Oklahoma voted this weasel out of office. Don’t listen to the press try to destroy our last chance to save America they are the enemy and never forget it. Vote Trump come on all parties and take America back. Last chance!
I can not understand how anybody in his right mine would vote for Crooked Hillary, The reason some Republicans that will not back him is because they fear their apple cart will be turned over, No more handouts from outside sources about time they will be thru ripping off the government. That is the big scare, I saw Buckwheat Obama on Hannity trying to run down Trump, stammer through his output .I guess his teleprompter was broke. So much for his legacy. I am waiting to see how much crooked Hillary gave to Charity .I am a Vet and am glad Mr. trump is backing us up. And am also fed up with Bushes and Clintons.
A press and media that bows down to every fabricated press statement issued by the large commercial, pharma, chemical,GM and bioindustries without questioning the validity of any of their data ….until many years later when these same industries products are found to be damaging and harming the population when again they all remain silent and impotent waiting for
their next instruction on how high to jump. These conglomorates call the tune as to what the media prints and says they are now just puppets which is why I never buy their tamed newspapers anymore as there are few real journalists left.
It is about the time that someone has come to the front caring more about being truthful as opposed to being politically correct. Today’s media gives journalism a bad name. True journalism is about digging up the truth of a matter and reporting that truth no matter the outcome.
Today’s media and its cohorts, or more interested in a liberal agenda because that is who is paying their bills and advertising on their news shows and newspapers. Sensationalism sells big and the juicier the story brings in more money because public interest has been cleverly trained to enjoy the sleaze and gore as opposed to truth and good news.
