1. Did lightening strike him after he said this?

What a hypocrite.

2. WOW... he really looks like shit.

I can't listen to him... just saw the screen cap and this job is really destroying him.

5. He's always looked like shit, but now it's actually seeping from his pores.

Maybe that's why he's orange. If the job is destroying him I wish it would do it faster.

9. Good. The sooner the better.

3. "while doing their job"

of course the moment they are off work they are fair game

[unblock]

6. I'm stuck on his definition of "doing their job"

[DBoon]

10. Yes, being critical of Trump may not be "doing their job"

Their job is to praise him unreservedly, as any dictator would demand

[Skraxx]

4. "My" Government? Sick fuck

[Pendrench]

7. I thought the same thing. n/t

[spanone]

8. Says the man who called them 'an enemy of the people' just days ago

p.s. it ain't YOUR fucking government, don

[Bleacher Creature]

11. He truly is a sociopath.

The fact that he can say something like that without any recognition whatsoever that he is as responsible as anyone for the demonization of journalists is mind blowing.
