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.

Frum is not worth commenting on.

However, I did see a dead raccoon on the road the other day. Now that is a tragedy. Frum is a joke.

Too bad a shot of antibiotics won’t clear up the media infection that causing the illness in our country. The cure is gonna to be very painful for them.

Frum is not fond of free thinkers. Back in line you serfs!

Love the Newsbusters website. I would much rather give them the traffic to find out what the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL is up to than giving the traffic to LEFT MEDIA CARTEL websites.

I have often wondered if Free Republic is a click farm for the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL because I see so many LEFT MEDIA CARTEL websites posted. That would be embarrassing. I do not click on LEFT MEDIA CARTEL websites. Many conservative websites give an accounting of what the LEFT is up to.

I wonder if Jim Robinson/Moderator has those statistics? It would be an interesting read.

I dont fund the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL directly or indirectly.

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.


I am doing something about it. I refuse to fund the LEFT MEDIA CARTEL in any way, shape or form.

I dont want my grandkids’ grandkids cursing my name for not doing enough to defeat the LEFT.

From, you wish, but your punishment is in The Tribulations to come after you get your one world government.

Trump is just buying us a breather.

God is so pissed, He is going to give you what you want, and make you drain the cup.

people will get tired of his bulling and approach and will form coalitions against him.

The EU was created to attempt to unite Europe to take down the United States. They thought their new currency, manipulated to always be "worth" more than the Dollar, would replace the Dollar and become the standard for the world.

Was on the phone with relative tonight


Not a bit, it was a good read. I like the “so what”. That must have made him stark raving mad.

I would add, “I cannot spare this man, he fights!” Thank you, President Lincoln.

Why did he vote for Trump? Honestly he is the same now as he was during his campaign so he shouldn’t be shocked.

Next time he brings it up again you tell him he should be glad Trump isn’t being interviewed by bathtub lady with the green lips like Obama was.

‘Loathing the new’ is the appropriate term to use. I have no problem in watching local news, and to much lesser extent....the business and sports news. Beyond that, I just mostly laugh at the fake nature of news.

Actually, I’m pretty sure Frum is our punishment, but I can’t figure out what the crime was.

Drum is just being bitchy. The Left thought they would have brought down Trump by now. They are extremely frustrated.

So true and worth repeating: what’s the biggest Obama’s legacy? The election of Trump!

According to Frum, “we got Donald Trump in the first place as a punishment for not being good enough citizens.”

These people are truly deranged mental cases.

Now, now, don’t criticize your betters in the media, They are consummate professionals with college degrees and years of experience in messing up basic facts.

President Trump has exposed David Frum as a cruel “punishment” against the American people for being the leader of irresponsible and hating news media.
