David Frum: Trump Is Our ‘Punishment’ for Terrible Citizens Not Liking the News
MRC NewsBusters ^ | 6/10/2018 | Nicholas Fondacaro

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real affliction that plagues many in the liberal media and many in the anti-Trump crowd. During an appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday, David Frum, a faux Republican and editor for the left-leaning Atlantic, showed off how advanced his TDS was when he decried President Trump ahead of the historic North Korea summit as a cruel “punishment” against the American people for being irresponsible and hating the news media.

CNN host Brian Stelter originally asked Frum to comment on President Trump’s criticism of CNN while at the press conference at the G7 summit in Canada. Of course, Frum suggested Trump’s words somehow gave cover to dictators to abuse the press. He then shifted gears and started trashing Americans who were “fatigued” of the news.

“If your child is feverishly ill, it can be very fatiguing to sit by her bedside and take care of her but it's what you do because that's your duty and, I think, your responsibility and it's also a source of satisfaction to you,” he scolded the public. “If your country is ill, you have the same responsibility.”

According to Frum, “we got Donald Trump in the first place as a punishment for not being good enough citizens.” That’s right, Trump wasn’t elected because he spoke to Americans who felt forgotten and disenfranchised, it was because of those irresponsible Americans who didn’t want to listen to the liberal media.

No, Frum, “punishment” was what you and the other Bushbots inflicted on the US Army and Marines and their families over a groundless Second Iraq War.

Our punishment for loathing the news media is our guilt and shame at knowing we should do something about you, but in the end we just slink off and leave you in place.

It’s the establishment’s punishment for not accepting the much more reasonable Ron Paul.

Now they’re getting the same policies but without the being nice about it part.

Without a doubt, this is the most ignorant, stupid, moronic, and bizarre thing I have ever heard anyone say in my lifetime. And he thinks he’s right.

Frum is a Bush League Republican hell bent on turning the USA in to North Mexico.

These elites need to get a bigger shock than the election of President Trump.

Hmmm, what shall we do?

CNN doesn’t offer reliable news.

3min30secs in to 4mins50secs: question re MSM claiming pic of Trump seated at G7, surrounded by Merkel, etc shows Trump in a moment of weakness.

SEAN SPICER: let’s just stop for a moment. this is where the results get lost. at the end of the day, the Communique talks about all of them agreeing to lower their tariffs, so the President got results for the American people and they’re (the MSM) are focussed on what a picture looked like.
so think about it from the American worker, the American manufacturer, services industry or the agriculture industry. we’re getting results for the American people because the President is bringing a tough line, and putting an end to generations of the American people getting taken advantage of through high tariffs.
so what do you care about? what a picture looks like, or the results that this President is achieving and, again, it’s just amazing to me that the focus is on the picture and what is perceived in that. I look at them (IN THE PHOTO) as all looking at the President, saying what do we have to do to solve this problem? they’re coming to him, not the other way around.

G7 Communique
END OF #4:
We commit to modernize the WTO to make it more fair as soon as possible. We strive to reduce tariff barriers, non-tariff barriers and subsidies.

#5.We will work together to enforce existing international rules and develop new rules where needed to foster a truly level playing field...

more winning which the FakeNewsMSM hasn’t even mentioned.

How NAZI. It is exactly the point that "Axis Sally" told housewives during WWII.

"Well, I'm sorry girls but the time is really nearly up now and just in closing, girls, I like to ask you one question, on the level, straight shoulder to shoulder."

"If you child behaves badly, do you agree with its misbehavior? Do you say to yourself, 'My child, right or wrong, I don't care what he does.'?"

"No you don't."

"You try to correct that child, you try to make him a better citizen."

"Well, and what is a country? A country is only made up of people after all. Do you say, 'My country right or wrong?' No, girls. That's false sentimentality and I do NOT praise(?) my country right or wrong."

"I love America but I do NOT love Roosevelt and all of his kike boyfriends who have thrown us into the awful turmoil. And I'll stick to my guns as long as I can tire(?) them, girls."

"So you've not heard the last from me and I'm sure you must reject(?) your radio because you will want to hear more of what Germany is saying through the medium of an American girl."

It’s really hard for me to determine whom disgusts me utterly more, politicians or journalists?

F*** them all.

Maybe the Social Justice Warriors would not sleep well if they realized that leftist governments had killed over 150 million of their own productive citizens and that justice would have them be one of the 150 million non-productive to even things out, lined up in front of a ditch.

LOL, at their ability to grasp at straws for any explanation other than to admit people see through the MSM media bias and reject it.

An improved economy, stronger borders, massive paring back of excessive regulations, a cut in taxes, and a possible resolution to the Korean threat.

Punishment?
