First of all, maybe it's a lie, but Trump arguing for a ten-fold increase doesn't seem like one that is outrageous. Maybe he doesn't truly want that much of an increase, but given Trump's propensity for hyperbole AND the ART OF THE DEAL is for a BIG FIRST ASK afterall, then is not crazy to think he argued for it at least. Besides, Trump saying it's a lie doesn't make it a lie, although it doesn't make it not a lie either.

Regardless, Sasse didn't go after Trump for calling out NBC, he went after him for his comment about challenging their licence. So since Sasse presents himself as a constitutional conservative, then that's an appropriate response for someone who values the constitution since that would be a concerning, if not illegal, infringement on the first amendment.

That's law and order.

There are treaties that limit the number of nukes. Really stupid to suggest that Trump wasn’t aware of that fact.

You mean the guy that asked three times in a foreign policy briefing why we can't use nukes, in fact actually knows all the intricacies of nuclear arms treaties?

Trump wanted to, but like others warned he doesn't understand policy. He was 70 when he took office and that's a lot of information for a real estate developer

From the article

quote:

Asa J. posted the best response to Sasse.

“Trump has first amendment rights too, you insufferable #NeverTrump moron.”





Today he said that it was disgusting that the press was free to write whatever it wanted.

His first amendment rights don't extend to curtailing the first amendment rights of other.

FWIW, the reporter then asked him if he meant he wanted to limit free speech. He flatly said no.

Andrew Beatty Retweeted Peter Baker

After that, I asked Trump if he thinks there should be limits on what the press writes

He said: "No. The press should speak more honestly"

So, you don't mind the media lying as long as you think it could possibly be true. Such high standards you have there. Sorry to interrupt. Please continue with the leftist spin that Trump wants to end the 1st amendment.

No he doesn't mind the media lying when it supports his unamerican agenda. Trump dangled the hook and sasse took the bait. Ben Sasse is toast.

Lol. These Senators straight don't give AF. Congress has always been pretty much useless, but good to see at least one of our houses speaking truth to power.

Was it a lie, though?

At any rate, after reading that Vanity Fair Article on the president's apparent psychological unravelling, I do hope the media is blowing things out of proportion. I don't see how anyone in his reported state of mind can effectively lead or govern--which, of course, he hasn't proven capable of doing to date.

Because Don said they lied they must have lied. Is that how it works?

Don has become a fascist pig. So sad.

What is this horse shite? The first amendment guarantees you access to a broadcast license?

Desperate to be contrarian strikes again.
