"And when they come to you with stupid, ridiculous demands—picking fights you know you can win in court—instead of rolling over, why not stand up? And use four words they don’t tend to teach you in business school, the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: Fuck you. Make me.”

Look at these men. They are ashamed of themselves as they should be. They are standing here while the president calls their professional colleague a “stupid person.”

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

I don't want to hear any complaints that anybody was insufficiently reverent about the memory of Sarah Beckstrom after this human trash Trump said this about her funeral
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
