At 11:30 on a Friday night, Trump posted this absolutely racist message on his Truth Social platform. Why does the mainstream media not call him on all of his insanity and racism? THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

I've stopped expecting anything "normal" from Dump, which is why I don't read his posts or listen to him. Wish that US media would do the same, since that would cut him off the limelight he seeks.

DemWiscoGirl · May 3

It's not only racist, but why is the media not also calling it out as potentially a call for violence? Saying he is a 'danger', can in itself be misconstrued as a need for action. It's not ok.

@flowers36.bsky.social · May 2

Mainstream media is beholden to its corporate masters, who are beholden to Trump. Of course, none of this, from Trump 1st term to Trump 2nd term in normal. Independent media does not hesitate to say this. Time to wake up.

Imagine being such a dolt that you criticize people’s IQ (without any evidence) when then entire world knows it’s projection and Trump is the moron he’s referring to. He was placed in this position because he’s too dumb to figure out he’s just a moron following instructions. So he redecorates.

Corp media elevating or depressing stories is at the heart of the mechanics of control. It really is that simple

J Allen · May 2

You're not wrong, but Jeffries is part of an "opposition" party that has shown little to no interest in opposing Trump. There's a lot of stuff that shouldn't be normal going on. We won't be able to bring the GOP back in line until we bring the Dems to heel first. 🤷‍♂️

Aka Herbert West · May 3

It is normal. It has been normal for a decade or more. And even if the gutless press did call it out, no one would care. 30% of America's voters voted for trump because he embodies their racism. 40% didn't vote because the candidate wasn't exactly what they wanted, so fuck it.
