If we had actual journalists and an free media in the USA:

Mr. Trump: you believe you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize, but at the same time have opened "Alligator Auschwitz" in the Florida Everglades for the purpose of terrorizing people whom you've denied due process.

Please explain why you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

They would state the obvious- that Trump and his criminal cartel are as dire and direct threat to our Democracy and every citizen of this country and he must immediately be removed from the presidency.
Then they should announce that if their bosses don’t like the message they should fire them. Period.

I have lost all respect for people like Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell. I’m tired of being lectured every night on what I already know. Call for his removal or shut up. How many millions do they need?

JMHO.

Otherwise, the press would demand to know:

Why did the FBI and CIA obstruct justice in the investigation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy?
