They're not even trying anymore

Karoline Leavitt responding to trump's crypto endeavors this morning: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit He left a life of luxury and a life running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Stupidly ridiculous and untrue, of course. But where is even the pretense that what he is doing with crypto is in the public interest? The idea is so outlandish that they don't even bother to come up with a story to try to push it to their base. And because the press room is stacked with maga influencers now, and the mainstream journalists are cowed as well, there is no follow up to this insanity.

Corporate media, you had the chance to stand up when they banned AP. You failed. You could be calling out all the maga non journalists taking your own jobs right now. You;re too scared. Soon your million dollar gigs will be gone and you'll have no one to blame but yourselves.

1. Absolutely no words for this moron

[Attilatheblond]

2. He's in the White House PRETENDING to work because the alternative is JAIL

So, he is currently living a life of luxury on OUR dime instead the life in prison he has earned and we would rather pay for.

3. Yes, anyone who believes that trump is sacrificing anything

for anyone or ever has, is beyond hope. And a White House Press Corps that accept this kind of nonsense is not practicing journalism.

9. There's only one project at the White House, now:

Turning the U.S. Treasury into a personal printing press for trump and his billionaire supporters, to enrich themselves beyond their wildest dreams. And it's all being done with minimal efforts to conceal what's happening. It would be laughable if the ultimate consequences weren't so grim.

12. we need a good, adversarial press corps

now just as much as we need a strong court system.

[Paladin]

13. That would be a nice change, wouldn't it? (nt)

[Initech]

4. Yeah he's been doing this since 2016. Fuck off, Karoline.

[senseandsensibility]

6. And before

But at least he wasn't in public office then.
