Journalism dies in darkness with The Washington Post. All that moron who wrote that article on Trump’s interview did was take that statement out of context and base the entire mood of the story on it like it was fact.

What a trash piece of writing.

I know I’m going to regret this…

If it was taken out of context, what is the proper context to put it in?

I may not be a Trump fan, or even a fan of the current immigration policy, but illegal immigration is, you know, illegal. How can a judge block the federal government from enforcing federal laws because a city refuses to cooperate? If the immigration laws are unconstitutional (they’re not, even if they’re not popular), block those. If the means of enforcing then is illegal, block that. But how can a judge block enforcement based entirely on political views? That’s not what the judicial branch is for. It is intended to enforce existing laws, not creating new laws. That’s what the legislative branch is for.

TRUMP: No I have, it’s interesting, I have, seem to get very high ratings. I definitely. You know Chris Wallace had 9.2 million people, it’s the highest in the history of the show. I have all the ratings for all those morning shows. When I go, they go double, triple. Chris Wallace, look back during the Army-Navy football game, I did his show that morning.

AP: I remember, right.

TRUMP: It had 9.2 million people. It’s the highest they’ve ever had. On any, on air, (CBS “Face the Nation” host John) Dickerson had 5.2 million people. It’s the highest for “Face the Nation” or as I call it, “Deface the Nation.” It’s the highest for “Deface the Nation” since the World Trade Center. Since the World Trade Center came down. It’s a tremendous advantage.

You might be right. I’ll admit I haven’t followed the legality of Sanctuary Cities very closely.

I read the article and the transcript. Trump is not slamming 9/11, quite the opposite, he is showing that more people are interested in the crap reporting than they were with 9/11. And sadly, he is correct to say that it has bee a benefit to him. In fact, it helped get him elected, and they still can’t stop complaining instead of fixing what they did wrong to get him there.

I get that you’re laughing at me, but why? This is a slap at the media, and the media did help him win, not 9/11. There is a method to the madness and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to think up the method.

I’m not laughing at you, I just can’t believe the things you think you’ve read when it’s plainly clear he’s simply bragging about ratings, and doing so with a despicable comparison to the ratings from coverage of 9/11.
