President Donald Trump gave an intimidating statement to ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl, telling the political reporter that he'll "probably go after" him and ABC over alleged "hate" against the Trump administration.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday outside the White House, Trump responded to Karl's inquiry about Attorney General Pam Bondi's spoken intentions to "go after hate speech" in the country, one week after controversial far-right conservative Charlie Kirk was fatally shot at a speaking event in Utah.

"We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It's hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart," Trump told Karl, who immediately asked Trump if such a move would be appropriate for a sitting president to mount against a member of the press.

Trump then brought up a 2024 development that saw ABC News agree to pay $15 million toward his presidential library to settle a defamation suit after George Stephanopoulos alleged on air Trump was found "civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll," as the Associated Press recounted.

In my 68 years on this planet, I've never heard a president cry like Trump does. Maybe ABC, you should have never paid him.

5. You can't appease fascists

Every time you do their bidding, they will always, always, always ask for more, and more, and more. The first time you refuse them or air something they don't like, you are the enemy again and all the concessions you made are forgotten.

You'd think these media companies would have learned that by now, but apparently not.

6. There was a time...

... not too long ago, when this threat would have been widely condemned- by all media. That era is clearly over.

7. KARL has been buddy-"covering" KRASNOV since their tabloid-NYC days. Occasional digs, but lots of access.

Much more tiptoeing digs than HABERMAN's, and her access appears to be more extensive. Has always made me wonder how she keeps on getting inside. This recent KRASNOV's slap at KARL is the most blatant, gone-public at him ever. Will he bend, or rebel? What about Mr & Mrs Joe SCABS, who already went around the bend back to KRASNOV, now how can they defend free speech against KRASNOV now?

8. If anybody has hate in his heart, it is the Donvict.

He is consumed by it.
