and not just Faux News...
I found it weird that he kept telling these non-Faux news journalists that he watched them, and that they were very good in his UN presser the other day..

That's why I'm taking the comment to mean "answer to Trump" more than "tell" Trump. They are all a bunch of weenies.

It is from Lindsey Graham talking to reporters just after the Flake deal where the FBI would do an investigation before the final vote on Kavanaugh. Every video I find has this part cut out. Can someone please help me find the whole thing where Graham says " Someone is going to have to tell Trump. I guess that's my job"?

Based on the leaks, they don't have the slightest respect for him though. Who could? Trump is a farce of a human being.

They sometimes run a catheter ad featuring a cowboy

John Oliver made a parody catheter cowboy ad where the cowboy speaks directly to Trump about whatever message they have because Trump is so hard to communicate with

He bought airtime in D.C. to run the ads during F&F's so Trump would be sure to see it
