Trump vows to Investigate NBC, MSNBC For 'Country Threatening Treason'. Anthony Davis EXPLAINS.



Disgraced former President Donald Trump raged at NBC News and MSNBC on Truth Social, pledging to have them investigated for “country-threatening treason.”

Before and after leaving office, Trump has often criticized media outlets as the “enemy of the people,” even those who do provide him favorable coverage. Now, as the former president faces four criminal indictments, his rhetoric regarding unfriendly press has turned into threats.

“Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt & dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE? They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a high price for what they have done to our once great Country,” he concluded. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS - 10/01/2023.

If you or I did anything this guy did, we would be thrown in jail for life or worse. Honestly, why is this bastard not in a max security prison? Can we take this guy on a one-way trip to Russia or North Korea? Now to be frank, the mainstream media is not innocent in this manner. They are still talking about this guy. But they are also responsible for trying to talk out of both sides of their mouth.

Back during the 2016 campaign I finally quit watching the news, all they showed was this offensive blowhard rather than those I thought of as legitimate candidates. I figured I'd start watching after the election was over when we'd never have to see or hear from him again. Shows what I know... How long has it been?? He's still dominates the news with his outrageous attacks and behavior when he should have been removed after the first impeachment and shut down and sidelined before he got a chance to call for what happened on January 6th.

The reality is, few really have a grasp on what actually is going on. But again, we're just pawns in this whole rich scheme. But again, the whole spiel is, "oh this is discriminating against the rich". Well, what do you expect? I have a coworker who has to do two jobs just to make ends meet. The whole point of this is, when the news doesn't do its job of understanding the issues, this is where we end up. They are too afraid that if they told the truth, the rich would lose power.

His threat to the country is something that we do need to know about, as opposed to the deluded who watch Fox - and we rarely hear about former presidents, Obama, Clinton, even Bush*, but then none of them are a threat to the country. And we heard about Jimmy Carter when he was building houses for the poor. We keep hearing about TFG because he persists in engaging in criminal behavior.
