Trump says he wants people to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jung Un.

Really.
Afterwards he then coyly refers to the fact that Kim Jung Un executed his political rivals.
Trump later was asked about this and claims it was "sarcasm." You can watch the video and judge for yourself. It's not the first time Trump effusively praised Kim Jung Un's leadership and toughness.
Another thing: Trump is clearly talking about Kim Jung Un's aides and his aides in the White House.

This does not make it better.

.@squarespace is advertising frequently on Tucker Carlson when it reruns late at night

The company is not responding to inquires about why it's continuing to advertise on Tucker when so many other companies have abandoned the show
@squarespace Last week, Tucker Carlson argued there was a moral imperative to pay men more than women.

@squarespace, which continues to advertise on Tucker Carlson, says it's deeply committed to pay equity

blog.squarespace.com/blog/equal-pay
@squarespace .@squarespace partnered with @GloriaSteinem, @aJaDaNg, @deunivory and @feministabulous to "help raise awareness about wage inequality and how it impacts us all"

Now the company is advertising on Tucker Carlson

TRUMP: "At the request of Democrats it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall."

What Democrat has requested a border wall made of steel?
TRUMP: "The border wall would very quickly pay for itself."

Absolutely no evidence of this. Trump cites the cost of illegal drugs, most of which come through official ports of entry.
TRUMP: "The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."

This is not true. And the deal hasn't even been approved by Congress.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.
