Trump Starts Pissing Contest over Reporters
As if he didn’t have anything better to do, Trump has started restricting Chinese press in it’s access and reporting in the US. In retaliation, China has expelled the NY Times, Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. So. Here we are in the middle of a global pandemic where the press is THE most important outlet for information, so what does Trump do? Start a pissing contest with the largest country in the world. Jesus.
Standard IQ4.5*. A global pandemic requiring global solutions and the special snowflake* pulls out his* 4.5mm stubby for a pissing contest. The only race the ***king moron* is winning is the race with himself to prove he* can be a bigger ***king moron*. Had enough yet, Mitch?
1Jane & PKM @1
Perhaps, he’s going for the biggest f***ing moron on the planet?
2Fearless Leader seems to try to outstupid himself on an hourly basis lately.
3Did Vlad tell him to do this or did he come up with it on his own?
4Papa @2, leave it to IQ4.5 to be a late entry into a contest he* has already won.
5K @9 previous post:
65 & 6) The perfect excuse for f**king trump to exert more control of as much media as possible in order to eliminate information that disproves his propaganda.
Some of which is supplying his base with as many foreign “others” to blame for all it’s problems.
Problems that are getting a lot worse, a lot faster.
I won’t say that it was smart to put restrictions on Chinese reporters, but It’s the kind of thing a normal administration might do. I don’t doubt that the Chinese reporters act as government agents in the US. Regardless, the Chinese reaction is less a retaliation against Trump*’s actions and more retaliation against the WSJ, NYT and WP for reporting the truth from inside China. President Xi doesn’t like that. This is Xi’s payback for reports from inside Wuhan and also reporting on the Uyghurs.
7If you would like to be scared shitless:
Watch the back-to-back PBS program series “Niall Ferguson’s Networld.
Particularly Episode 3, entitled “Networld War”.
https://www.pbs.org/show/niall-fergusons-networld/
Remember that the USA [#1] ceded this battlefield back under the Cheney-Bush regime, and certainly have lost it forever during the clusterfuck of the McConnell/Trump regime.
When and while we have pissed away our competitive economic advantages in order to micturate our national treasure into the barren sands of rightwing ideology.
If you do nothing else, watch this series, read between the lines. It’s absolutely chilling, Episode 3 tells the ultimate tale.
8One of the interesting stats was that China is graduating about 3.2 million engineers and scientists per year from universities.
In the USA #1#1, that number is less than 300K. But we do graduate many more lawyers, biz admins, marketing BSers, etc. All such productive fields… [/s].
