Trump Bashes Media: NYT Needs To 'Get Down On Their Knees,' 'Beg For Forgiveness'

(Talking Points Memo) In a series of unhinged tweets on Tuesday morning, President Trump took his usual spout-off against the media in an unusual direction.

Trump claimed the New York Times had apologized to him after the 2016 election and that if they wanted his forgiveness again, they’d have to make a real gesture out of the apology: “Get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness.”

I wonder if the New York Times will apologize to me a second time, as they did after the 2016 Election. But this one will have to be a far bigger & better apology. On this one they will have to get down on their knees & beg for forgiveness-they are truly the Enemy of the People!


Trump also went off on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and CNN’s “New Day,” suggesting “Morning Psycho (Joe)” had “nosedived” into something “Angry, Dumb and Sick” since the 2016 election and calling CNN’s Chris Cuomo a ratings failure.

Sorry to say but @foxandfriends is by far the best of the morning political shows on television. It rightfully has BY FAR the highest ratings, not even close. Morning Psycho (Joe), who helped get me elected in 2016 by having me on (free) all the time, has nosedived, too Angry...

....Dumb and Sick. A really bad show with low ratings - and will only get worse. CNN has been a proven and long term ratings and beyond disaster. In fact, it rewarded Chris Cuomo with a now unsuccessful prime time slot, despite his massive failure in the morning. Only on CNN!

Every day, every tweet, every speech, I think to myself "This is NOT appropriate behavior/comments/words/actions for a President of the United States". He is, in every way, a failure, an embarrassment, a disgrace.

How can anyone not cringe at hearing this sick, dumb, psychopath? How do Republicans continue to support this shit show? It truly boggles my mind.

Abortion.

My father-in-law is one of them. Conservative policies wreck him financially. Doesn't matter to him though, because he'll never vote for a Democrat because they're pro-choice.

'L'etat c'est moi' ('I am the state')

We fought a Revolution so that no man would have to bend the knee to a Tyrant King.

Wish I could find the link to an old article...years ago when trump was being interviewed for some magazine, after he finished lie-bragging about his wealth & success, he told the writer that he would like the article about him to be entitled "The King".

Dumpsterfire says he never watches ‘Morning Joe’, so how does he know they’re not saying nice things about him?

That's one HELL of an admission of campaign finance law violation, if he just acknowledged an in-kind donation for free airtime, did he not?!
