In 2016, Trump was asked why he had repeatedly attacked the press.

His answer:

“I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.”

When someone tells you exactly who they are and exactly what they’re doing, pay attention. Believe them.

The human body comes with five
medicines:

Walking.
Lifting.
Stretching.
Sprinting.
Sleeping.

They’re free.
They’ve existed forever.
And most people still underestimate
them.

Terrelle Pryor never played another college football game for selling memorabilia and trading merchandise for tattoos! Brendan Sorsby gets a 2 game suspension for betting on games when he was on the team?!

[John Massingale @JohnMassingale4]

Good reminder that, Fresh off a 12-1 season, Notre Dame voluntarily suspended their starting QB Everett Golson for the entirety of the 2013 fall semester for cheating on a test.

Texas Tech is not only shamelessly allowing a player who bet on his own games to play for their team…they appear to have rigged the local courts to make sure it happened.

The opinions and moral posturing of Joey Mac and Texas Tech administration should never be taken seriously.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

🟥 Ok, let me be frank...

This 'Meet The Press' interview with Trump is the most UNHINGED (and scariest) interview ever, with any world leader, let alone the President of the United States.
AND ... he abruptly stormed off before the interview ended, like a petulant toddler! 👶🏼

AND he detests strong women that don’t allow him to spin his psychotic narratives, unchallenged.

Listen, anyone who still supports this guy and thinks he is still fit to be the President of the USA ... well ... they are either being disingenuous, or they themselves are also not playing with a full deck... 🧏🏻‍♂️

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

Asked for actual evidence of his claims, Trump throws a tantrum and runs away.

Notice—he never offered a shred or scintilla of evidence.

He just yelled at her and ran away.

[Lev Parnas @levparnas]

Enough is enough.

At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?

At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable?

He has been doing this his entire life.

In business.

In politics.

In the courts.

In the Epstein circle.

And now, as president of the United States, he uses the most powerful platform in the world to attack women who speak out, women who stand up, women who dare to tell the truth.

Look at what he is doing to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her — and instead of accountability, he keeps attacking. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon.

And that is exactly the point.

This is not just about insults. This is about control.

He takes away women’s rights.

He attacks women’s credibility.

He covers up the Epstein files.

He protects the powerful men while attacking the women who survived them.

He wants women silent. He wants survivors scared. He wants the country numb.

I’m asking a simple question:

When is enough finally enough?

When do we stand together and say no more?

No more letting the media normalize it.

No more letting politicians excuse it.

No more letting powerful men abuse women and then call themselves victims.

No more silence.

I am calling on this community — women, men, survivors, parents, citizens, everyone with a conscience — to stand together as one voice.

Protect women.

Believe survivors.

Demand the Epstein files.

Hold Trump accountable.

And stop supporting any media outlet, politician, or platform that continues to sanitize, excuse, or cover for this madness.

Because this is not politics anymore.

This is about basic decency.

This is about right and wrong.

This is about whether we are still willing to stand up for the women of this country against a man who has spent his life degrading them.

Enough is enough.

It is time to stand up.
It is time to speak out.
It is time to fight back together.

[Paul Rieckhoff🇺🇸🇺🇦 @PaulRieckhoff]

This is why he’s afraid of a free and fair press.

It reveals him.

And it’s why it’s a top priority for him to destroy them.

The war that Trump will never end (and the one that he’s been most successful on) is the war on the free press.

But at least in this battle, the good guys (and gals)—and the truth—won.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Trump: "I didn't guarantee no war."

Trump guaranteeing no more wars:

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

How much longer are we going to tolerate the way Trump speaks to female reporters?

[Joe Scarborough @ScarboroughNow]

63 federal courts threw out all of Trump’s BS claims.
All of them. The Supreme Court rejected all of Trump’s BS claims. He now screams and cuts off interviews because he constantly lies about elections being rigged. He’s projecting again.

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.

Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Totally unhinged lunatic. Just look at his face at the end. An angry psychopath wrecking this country. https://t.co/WGioUEY1SN

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Welker: "You insisted no new wars."

Trump: "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war."

Welker: "You said it over and over again."

[Sarah Ironside 💙 @SarahIronside6]

I love how so many people think women are too emotional to be president and still support this little snowflake.

[Saad Yousuf @SaadYousuf126]

the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂
