I was going to provide you multiple examples of media who can call Trump directly, but then I realized you were talking specifically about reporters, not the propagandists at Fox "News."

I'm very curious if the bogus FIFA "peace medal" came with a cash award, like the Nobel does.
Obama gave his Nobel cash award to charity.
Has Trump pocketed the cash, or did FIFA funnel the bribe through Trump's crypto scam?

A reminder that Trump spent $80 billion in taxpayer dollars during his first trade war in his first term to subsidize the lost profits for shareholders in the ag, steel, and automotive industries--on top of increasing the US trade deficit by 50%.
The cost of tariffs is the burden of US taxpayers.

Trump doesn't have any friends.
What adult would be friends with a man who bragged about his ability to sexually assault their wives and daughters without repercussions?
If he's your friend, would you trust him in a room, alone, with your teenage daughter for 15 minutes? HELL NO.

We're doing well. Readying to move to the West Coast.
Please send my greetings to the NZ community. I hope you're all doing well.

So the guy who paid off a porn star to keep their affair secret is firing a woman having a long-term, well-known affair with her lover whom she hired to work for her?

Does anyone know if there was a cash prize given with the FIFA participation trophy? If so, how much? And will Trump keep it?
Trump got his ego stroked with the award. I’m sure he got FIFA to line his pockets, too.

Has anyone announced the cash prize affiliated with "winning" this "prize"?
Did FIFA state how much it was bribing Trump?
This is nothing but a heavily-financed participation trophy to make sure the local bully doesn't disrupt the games. Trump's ego won't let others be the center of attention.

More than anything, the cancellation of naturalization ceremonies for those people who adhered to the established process to become citizens demonstrates the Trump cabal's xenophobia.
The immigrants did everything required to be citizens and Trump's ICE will arrest them anyway.
That's un-American.

...and an administration that says it's going to redistribute $2,000 checks from rich people to "working class" families.
Man, Trump sure sounds like a communist, redistributing wealth and taking control of production.
