A fucking traitor.
During the Trump years the news media did a great job investigating, exposing all of his crimes to the American people.
They have done a horrible job explaining to the American people Trump is a traitor. The evidence is overwhelming. His support of Putin, his attack of Nato, our allies. His attack on the constitution, our democracy. His attacks on the rule of law.
All of that and more, equals Trump is a fucking traitor.

..And often the people who sue win, and the payout is enormous. In hundreds of thousands & millions
of dollars. People who own various parts of the media want to avoid paying out that kind of money...I
believe that is why most of the media is not calling Trump a traitor now.

(4,913 posts)Because of the 1st amendment and most importantly because it is true. When they say Trump is a traitor, they could show the evidence of what Trump did during his time in office. It's so obvious.
