    I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but that title is misleading:

    the unprecedented success of the United States of America will be my ultimate and absolute revenge.”

      Sure, but that “success” are coming after his “day 1 dictator” comments-- just a few short dots to connect and come up with the original title here.

        Sure, but then quote the actual problematic comments, don’t purposely mislead with the one thing he said that wasn’t problematic. That just gives fuel to their persecution complex.

          Right, but every new article seems to treat him with a blank slate. You could write a completely unbiased true article saying “Convicted rapist who wants to be dictator ‘for day one’ of his presidency says that he’ll use the ‘success of the US’ as his ultimate revenge.”

          The news fucking kowtows to this fascist’s feelings far too much IMO. Seems biased in the opposite direction, just so they can maintain a “neutral” tone.

          edit: of course all news has bias, I meant truth instead

      These manipulative headlines only help Trump. In the same speech he says he is the only person who can stop WW3. A ridiculous statement that only a cult leader would say. He also said that Biden approved Nord Stream on day 2 of his presidency which is a complete lie. Nord Stream 1 was blown up and then Biden got Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2. The opposite of what Trump said. There is plenty of valid criticisms and no need to be manipulative of Trump’s words.
