Trump Vows MSNBC Host 'Will Be Fired' in Truth Social Rampage

The drama started when 79-year-old Trump kicked off his Sunday morning with a cryptic post on Truth Social.

“Bela,” he wrote, leaving his followers to debate the meaning of the word.

Time to circle the wagons and demand a cease and desist order, MSNBC needs to get their lawyers involved and this is not just for Nicole Wallace but for every person that is targeted. Every time. No more ignoring this as if he doesn't mean anything by this kinda thing..he has shown us who he is and what he is capable of. This assault on our democracy, our people of all races, employment or not employed, has got to stop. 🛑

Trump’s absolutely terrible, but that’s more of a stretch than Mr. Fantastic.

Trump probably can’t even remember the names of his own grandchildren. You think he is going to remember name of a MSNBC’s host’s daughter?

You don’t have to post every single thought that comes to your head before you vet it for reasonableness. A little discernment goes a long way.

-We have seen over and over and over and over and over, constantly giving him the upper hand... We have to get realistic and believe what is before our eyes (Not to mention that he is surrounded by the Stephen Millers and others who would assist him in designing these horrific tactics to intimidate his perceived "enemies." ) Tommy, his later post-nearly immediately thereafter, clearly references Nicole Wallace and MSNBC and he clearly could have been given the info on her child to set this up as a move to intimidate her. Not to mention that his dementia has shown signs of classical sundowning--meaning early mornings when he posted this and other crap have him at whatever counts for his mental "best." Yet, we all continue to do it. Not just you, Tommy, and I am sorry to pick on your post to make the point, but... All of us.

We have to become strategic. Our giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, continually, that he has constantly shown not deserving, will be the destruction of all of us.

…in all of history. Quite possibly the worst.

Does that mean I think he was cryptically referring to Nicole Wallace’s daughter in one of his posts?

No, I do not.

It’s not even spelled the right way.

Maybe he’s referring to Bela Lugosi.

Maybe he’s a Twilight fan.

Maybe in this case, Trump’s stupidity is just Trump’s stupidity.

How many people here can honestly say they know the name of Nicole Wallace’s daughter?

And Trump himself has barely fixated on her. She’s not one of his regular targets. Why then would he be talking about her daughter?

by his "aids..." and those same aids are very aware of the intimidation mechanisms Trump loves to use. He has been going through the various outspoken or highly intelligent/targeting tv commentators, anchors, and spokespeople for months now. Not always those most recognized, but simply those the "Stephen Millers" that surround point out. He likewise flips the TV remote overnight from Fox to MSNBC to CNN (all of which have repeats of earlier shows) to far RW media.

I fail to understand why you underestimate what is going on in that administration. This may or may not be consistent with proposed interpretations on this thread. But, the truth is that it is not inconsistent with other posts and tactics he has undertaken. This is not Trump 1.0. Trump 2.0 has no "handlers" but only enablers. Dont' let us be among them.

Trump does engage in intimidation tactics, including against members of the media.

But this particular take--that he was somehow threatening Nicole Wallace's daughter here--is just ridiculously silly.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a dumb Trump gaffe is just a dumb Trump gaffe.

the Democratic party is in sad shape. She is in my top 3 for news.

This past week starting on Monday she devoted the 1st hour to Epstein, Tuesday - the 1st 45 minutes, Wednesday - the first 45 minutes.

Thursday and Friday not as much time because I think Krasnov sent troops into DC.

No one has publicly attacked Krasnov more than Nicolle, with the audience she has.

I am entitled to my opinion as you are to yours. Trump raped little girls. Someone needs to get the Epstein autopsy released where 2 renowned forensic doctors stated that the broken bones in Epstein's neck were not consistent for a hanging but were consistent for strangulation.

Why did he type Bela? You claim he didn't know about Isabella and maybe so, but I claim he also didn't know about Belarus. Stephen Miller writes a lot of his texts.

They don't closely follow cable news like some of us news junkies do.

There might be some exceptions--like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather or Peter Jennings--that have risen above the level of obscurity assigned to most news figures, but the rest are relegated to the likes of these types of internet message boards.

It's a niche market.

Nicole Wallace isn't exactly Taylor Swift here.

ON EDIT:

It's actually Nicolle Wallace, not Nicole Wallace (as I had thought) or Nichole Wallace (as the OP had thought). Kind of underscores the point, no?

It all boils down to that he is always unhappy (he has never been known to be a smiling person), and he desperately needs positive reinforcement, approval seeking.

If he doesn’t get this, then the reality of himself, in his head, proves that he is a worthless, pile of shit!

He absolutely hates thinking that of himself.

Just how much are we supposed to tolerate from this evil old degenerate? How much longer---until he finishes turning the White House into the spitting image of the world's filthiest brothel? Until National Guard troops start shooting people who've made the fatal decision to peacefully protest? Until the Bill of Rights has no more value than a scrap of trump's used toilet paper? We have abundant proof that trump and his goons are a bunch of gutless cowards, when confronted with even moderate opposition---Gavin Newsom ought to have a lot more visible support, coast-to-coast, for his good works.

Short version of the foregoing: Haven't you folks had enough?
