So we can just say what we want right? He literally gave his opinion on how they should’ve been tried… it was death. You can see them on his social media posts… how is that mis reported? So on that mental gymnastic, I can say “President Trump is a traitor to our country and his crimes are punishable by death!” And that shouldn’t be a problem, right?

The only difference being that your statement would be an accurate reflection of reality.
Mostly just because the commander in chief has the strategic mind of a toddler and thinks accusing others of exactly what he is guilty that week of is good strategy.

Seems to be a good strategy to me, it got him elected twice. And it got an entire political party under his thumb, so that they don't think at all about crossing him.
Ah the ol’ logic and reason bit eh.
I don't see how anyone could believe that Trump's orders for the US military to destroy civilian boats were legal.
They're non-military targets nowhere near the US who were not doing anything violent at the time. The flimsy excuse to kill them could be used to kill anybody.
These people wore diapers and carried around jars of cum. They are rabid.
Ministry of Propaganda
That’s oldspeak. You should call it MiniProp or you’ll be thrown in the memory hole.
Wouldn't it be MiniPro?
No that’s the new name for the Ministry of Progress
Trump seems to want complete press fealty, like a king.
It's awfully nice of him to list all the reporting that dares to piss him off.
This is ABSURD! MAYBE if the News Media CONTINUES to Frame Trump POSITIVELY he'll Back off!
Don't they already have several such sites? Like most of social media, Breitbart, Faux, OAN, and on and on?
I'm so old I remember Mike Pence being a Governor and an idea like this got him laughed at.
I appreciate the use of the vocab word "excoriate."
Just imagine thinking that Donald Trump knew what the word "excoriate" means.
Wow, the US really is just a complete clown show - the usual ridiculousness has increased many times over since January, and so has the greed. But yet: there is hardly any serious resistance to the obvious establishment of a dictatorship. Well, the citizens are probably so used to living in an unjust state that they think it wouldn't make any difference.
For everyone else in the world, it probably won't really make a difference, except that they'll have to deal with another mentally ill despot. But I think that despite all the regime's open organized crime, despite its brutish violence, the majority of US citizens still don't understand what it means to live in a dictatorship.
We can only hope that the US will not resort to excessive use of its inflated military apparatus when the country inevitably continues to decline. Given the viciousness of the regime, this is unfortunately to be expected.
It would be great if the Americans could finally lock these criminals away, but to be honest, I gave up hope of that a long time ago.

I think you're underestimating the US' impact on the world. It could have severe destabilizing effects.
What do you expect to change for the world? The US has been a plutocracy for decades. Really not all too much difference to states like Russia - just another approach. The people in power did whatever they wanted to do for a very long time. Now they are just changing their modus operandi and giving up the pretense. Why? - well, because they can.
The only thing that worries me is that they could lose control over their straw man in the presidency, but I think that's unlikely because he's much more like Hermann Göring than Adolf Hitler. He may be a hopeless narcissist, but he's so incredibly greedy that filthy lucre and indulging his perversions are probably more important to him than real power, because power means commitment, and he'd rather go golfing.
I'll suck Bill Clintons naughty bits if the president of the United States can spell excoriated on camera live with no teleprompter.
