I’ll keep asking this question that the press won’t ask: why is Trump doing this on purpose? why is he actively endangering the country?
ftr, I’m glad some have been asking...washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

1. quick thread on what happens when press deems certain Trump topics to be out of bounds, even though his radical behavior has been out of bounds for years.

pressrun.media/p/medias-taboo…
2. looking at Trump's complete and sweeping pandemic failure, it's increasingly difficult to suggest it's bc WH is disorganized or unfocused. There has to be more at play bc incompetence doesn't explain what's happening.
3. here's Trumps record so far:

#FTR: This news was announced on a Friday night to bury it...so they can continue to allege criminality without evidence.
#REMEMBER: As many as 130 OFFICIALS were questioned by Trump's State Dept. in their newest probe of Hillary Clinton's emails.

Numerous investigations and wasted tax dollars later...once again, NO DELIBERATE mishandling of classified information was found.

#FFS: And sadly, the media is playing right into Trump and the GOP's hands.

It was not covered on ANY of the 5 major Sunday shows...despite the fact that Hillary Clinton's name was mentioned on 4 of them.

And...Sec. of State Pompeo even appeared on one.

Le #breaking fou de la nuit du @washingtonpost. 1 officier du renseignement US a déposé un signalement d'alerte à l'inspecteur général du renseignement car #Trump, président US, aurait fait 1 promesse suspecte par téléphone au chef d'1 puissance étrangère. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
@washingtonpost 2) Sur la source du #breaking: le @washingtonpost sort l'info, c.a.d 1 journal dont tous les scoops sur l'affaire russe sont validés par le rapport Mueller et qui, contrairement au NYT ou à CNN- à qui il a fait la leçon d'ailleurs- n'a pas fait de fortes rétractations/corrections
@washingtonpost 3) L'autre #breaking est que l'inspecteur général du renseignement Atkinson a jugé le signal d'alerte sur cette communication/promesse de #Trump "crédible" et de matière urgente et en a informé les comités parlementaires de supervision du renseignement. Mais tardivement…

💣MuellerEve💣

Uproar!!!

📌Mueller report will be released in the afternoon, lightly redacted, revealing detailed look at O of J probe.

📌Barr & Rosenstein will give a press conf & deliver the partisan Barr Report 2.0 at 9:30am edt

📌Mueller not invited.
💣MuellerEve2💣

DOJ will present MR w/out certain redactions available to certain members of Congress/staff "in an appropriate setting."

Barr briefed & had numerous convos w/ WH re MR so they had time to strategize & prep a rebuttal while withholding it from American public.
💣MuellerEve3💣

The delay was necessary so Trump’s lawyers could strategize & prepare the rebuttal & control the narrative ahead of public release.

Nadler is deeply troubled to hear the WH was briefed abt the MR b/4 congress or the American people.

#FTR: ALL THESE STORIES HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON.

1/ Trump stands by the Saudi Crown Prince MBS who MURDERED Jamal Khashoggi, his perceived POLITICAL ENEMY, and a U.S. Resident.

And now, Trump smeared Khashoggi as an "enemy of state," without evidence.
washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
2/ Trump has been looking into handing over U.S. Resident Fetullah Gulen — Turkish Autocrat Erdogan's perceived POLITICAL ENEMY, who he calls a "terrorist" — to Turkey to prosecute (and likely kill) w/o evidence...

...to appease Turkey and cover for MBS.
nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
3/ In July, Trump thought it was an 'incredible offer" to hand over U.S. Resident and former U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul — Autocrat Vladamir Putin's perceived POLITICAL ENEMY — to Russia for interrogation and potential prosecution, without evidence.

1. This thread will take a closer look at the #FakeNews media.

"The people will believe what the media tells them they believe." –George Orwell

#MAGA #WWG1WGA #QAnon #QArmy #WeThePeople #Trump #OneNationUnderGod #GreatAwakening #UnitedWeStand #KAG #Americafirst
2. During the Cold War, one news commentator ironically noted that the Soviet people were actually less brainwashed than Westerners. In the USSR, people would receive Pravda and immediately toss it in the trash, saying “Ah! Party propaganda!”

#MAGA #WWG1WGA #QAnon #KAG #Trump
3. But in America, people would get the New York Times and believe every word, under the illusion that “we have a free press, so we can’t possibly be brainwashed.”

Dr. Mark Crispin Miller, Professor of Media Studies at NYU echoed these same sentiments:
