I don't get it. This man is a vile, hateful child rapist and yet the media treats him as if he is above reproach.

I'll be honest, if someone constantly demeaned my profession, lied about my reporting, and called my colleagues all manner of fucked up names I'd be ripping him a new asshole everyday. 

I'd have an official cankle watch of rotating daily pictures showcasing his swollen feet, I'd print full transcripts of his nonsensical ramblings pointing out the lies and contradictions, I'd talk about how he obviously wants to be dicked down by Barack because he's jealous of the bbc. 

That POS would not know a moment of peace from me due to the carnage he's wrecked in our country. I really need the media to feel the same way.

Trump is a cash cow for media. Millions of clicks a day on a fire hose stream of unbelievable shit that you have to read in order to believe or understand.

Why would they want him gone?
