He's a violent sociopath who knows that bashing the media is catnip for his braindead supporters, and makes them less likely to believe anything they see/read in mainstream media sources.
I also think there's a second layer to this — both he and the cops don't want a record of the police brutalizing protesters, and the reason journalists are there is to create that record. It undercuts their "rioters and looters" narrative when there's a record of cops abusing unarmed, peaceful protesters, such as the older man in Buffalo whose skull they cracked. Or driving into protesters. Or the Navy vet they beat with batons until they broke bones. Or any of the hundreds of examples we've seen across the country.
First debate:Moderate (Chris Wallace): "This question is for Mr. Trump: You've been recorded at three recents rallies praising the physical assault of a reporter by the police. Aside from the many lies and distortions in your account, could you explain why you think such violence against reporters is a good thing?"
Second debate:Moderator: "This question is for Trump: Since the last debate, you have told your supporters at five rallies that you punched out Chris Wallace and, quote, 'It was a beautiful thing.' Aside from the fact that you did not hit Mr. Wallace and in fact left the stage in a huff after he asked you about police-on -reporter assault, would you please tell us what is so good about the police or you beating up a reporter?"
Third debate:Moderator: "This question is for the orangefaced shitgibbon with the bad combover: Last night on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, you told a White Power/KKK rally that you beat down Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow with one arm tied behind your back - and blindfolded - and sent them to the hospital with multiple broken bones. Forget for a moment that Mr. Lemon and Ms. Maddow are here tonight in the peak of health and deny they have had any voluntary physical contact with you in four years, why do you think beating, shooting or otherwise assaulting reporters is a good thing, you reprehensible sack of festering skunkpus?"
I love the phrase ‘scrivener’s error,’ plucked from legal argle-bargle. Naturally, it appeared in the passive voice. Homer Simpson would exclaim: “D’oh!”
I was just watching one reporting from Louisville and there were militias openly carrying long guns. And he said there has been a lot of shouting against the press. All hell is breaking loose and fuckshit loves it
True for you. I had that thought while I was using the simile, but being a lewd old man I couldn't resist the image. I applaud the patriotism of those exotic dancers who produced the video "Get your booty to the polls", by the way.
The way standards of fact and evidence have been sliding downhill for decades, I won't be amazed if Republicans start claiming all Democratic congressmen and -women are human-eating lizard aliens in disguise. The real internal enemy. Their freaked-out supporters would believe them. What, haven't you heard about David Icke's expose of the British royal family? And didn't you ever see that documentary "V"? It's scientifically irrefutable we tell you, and theologically too, because the flesh-eating lizard aliens actually come from hell, like the horses with the faces of locusts and the tails of scorpions in Revelation.Excuse me. Commie socialist flesh-eating lizard aliens.
Every time I read about something like this, I think of Linda Tirado, who wrote for Wonkette under the nym Killer Martinis. She's a photographer who's now blind in one eye.
No, the journalist would need to be LGBTQ to complete Bingo.
Of course cheeto is going after Velshi. After all, his name is Ali and he came here from a terrorist state (Canada.)

Hey, maybe if you don't want there to be a record of your police force brutalizing unarmed, peaceful protesters...
Nah, that idea's too crazy to even bother suggesting.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MOTORBOAT THIS CAT.
Ali is actually a Muslim from Kenya so there's that
Laws don't apply to the current occupant of the white house.
I was just watching one reporting from Louisville and there were militias openly carrying long guns. And he said there has been a lot of shouting against the press. All hell is breaking loose and fuckshit loves it
Godwin has said that as far as he is concerned Godwin's law is suspended as long as we have an actual Fascist-Nazi president or administration.
Born in Kenya, grew up in Canada. Another obvious ploy by parents to plant a terrorist in America.
I've heard that quote a lot. Yet violence seems to be one of the first tools picked up by the fascists.
