Trump used to be a regular visitor to the US Open but has not been to the tournament since 2015, a year before he was elected president for the first time, when he was booed by spectators.

The message adds: We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the presidents attendance in any capacity.

The email also attached the USTAs US Open social media policy, as well as talking points and additional facts regarding the Presidents visit. The only attached talking point, however, was just a statement that President Trump is planning to watch the US Open Mens Singles Final from a suite as a sponsor guest.

Or maybe the Epstein Survivors can provide some counter-programming for them to play instead of airing any crowd displeasure. That should appease the Gross Old Pedo, as he seems to enjoy hearing his name over and over again.

I dont even recognize what America has become. Trump is a monster with out a doubt
who is a child rapist, has become President 2 times from massive cheating, and we have
a media complex owned by the right that covers up what is really happening in order to
protect the Oligarchs new power structure which uses the 30% + base of the of mouth
breathing racist, sexist, and anti intellectual American people to install Trump in order to
get even richer and to make crypto as the coin of the realm.

Vanderbilt and Mussolini on a Murderous Joyride:
A Synecdoche for the US Relationship to Fascism
by Ben Norton
US Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler recounted, in a January 1931 speech, an incident in which American entrepreneur and philanthropist Cornelius Vanderbilt IV (of the same Vanderbilt family after which Vanderbilt University is named) was riding in a car with Benito Mussolini. In the anecdote, the Italian self-professed Father of Fascism (businessmen, as we shall see, tend to favor fascism), murdered a young child.
Historian Hans Schmidt explains, in his leading biography of Butler, Maverick Marine: General Smedley D. Butler and the Contradictions of American Military History:
Butler related an anecdote about Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini while making the point that mad-dog nations could not be trusted to honor disarmament agreements. Butler recounted a story told him by an unnamed friend who had been taken by Mussolini for a high-speed automobile ride through the Italian countryside, in the course of which the dictator ran down a child and did not bother even to slow down: My friend screamed as the childs body was crushed under the wheels of the machine. Mussolini put a hand on my friends knee. It was only one life, he told my friend. What is one life in the affairs of a State."
The international media exploded in reaction to the story. Schmidt notes the Italian government denied that the incident ever took place; newspapers called Butlers story insolent and ridiculous. Mussolini rejected the accusations (as violent, draconian dictators are wont to do when it benefits their reputation), claiming, I have never taken an American on a motor-car trip around Italy, neither have I run over a child, man or woman.
The US government, which, at this time, was rather friendly with the fascist Italian government, issued a formal apology for what it called discourteous and unwarranted utterances by a commissioned officer of this government on active duty. It went so far as to place Butler the highest ranking official in the Marines and the most decorated Marine in his countrys history under arrest. President Hoover even ordered a court martial for the general the first time a US general had been court-martialed since 1862. That is how angry he was that Butler had spoken the truth about their iniquitous ally (the US has a long history of siding with inquitous allies).
Butler had stepped on some toes some fascist-friendly ones.
Per usual, the public was much further to the left than its reactionary government. Butlers speech cast a shadow over the dictators heretofore almost immaculate image. While Washington was trying to cover up the accusations, the average American was applauding Butler for his honesty (a most rare attribute for a member of the US government).

January 6th which when not prosecuted up to Trump was a warm up for the hell hole we now
find ourselves in. He has purged the FBI of anyone who thinks he broke the law in doing so,
expunged all federal documents about 150,000 police who were fired for abuse and law breaking
and no doubt some of those thug cops are now ICE agents.

And no one will appear to care. The press has been weaponized against the public, no one can know how unpopular F47 is, or we might find out we're on common ground in the overwhelming majority and shit would change really quick.

"HOWEVER, we will begin running everything we have that proves the guy is a liar, a cheat, a swindler, a rapist, and a slimeball, that is coming from every other place and organization, 24/7!"
They won't because they are too greedy and know that their 'greed over all' will not fly in a more Democratic society. They know they will continue to make money from that orange gibbon, so they will protect him irregardless of the damage to their own reputations.
Because that damage won't offset their incomes as long as we keep on listening to them.

(12,596 posts)Trump telling them not to record the boos is not going to stop all other honest reporters.
It will stop Fox and other right wing fake news.
But most everyone else is going to record it and spread it throughout all the social media outlets. And then all the right winger fake media will get less and less views. Even MAGOTs like to see the booing. To them it's a sign they are owning the Libs.
