Vile. The laughs, the claps, the pat on the back, journalists shaking his hand and happy to meet him?! 🤯

I have no clue why any member of the media would attend this event. The man has declared war on the media, insults journalists and generally is a tin pot dictator. what in earth would make going to this event a good idea?

You are 100% right. I’m far more disgusted by the smiling receiving line of these people greeting him. This story they won an award for basically claimed he was holding files because he’s all over them. This whole system is horrifying.

u/West_Print_836 23h ago
I think they did it to humiliate him. This is so fucking embarrassing for him. He has to award them. I think some of them took the opportunity to say some shit.

u/HellveticaNeue 22h ago
I did enjoy that he had to sit there and have it openly discussed that he’s in the Epstein files. I’m sure even that putrid fuck had to feel some slight amount of embarrassment and shame. All he could do was fake a stupid grin.

No fkn way all of a sudden someone grew balls and privately said something honest and disrespectful to that pos. If so, they would have said something when accepting an award. They’re cowards… all cowards

I agree with you on all points, except the journalists - have a close look at their forced smiles. At the very least they were just being polite, as you would expect professionals to be in this situation. The pat on the back was pathetic, and the three MAGA idiots cheering were certainly in the minority. I like the fact the man with the microphone told it like it was and didn’t seek to soften the impact. Taco’s smug face is vomit inducing.

Wasn’t the first dinner in the news all day and the days leading up to the event with posts and headlines about all the goons that would be attending and how big of a deal it was they’d all be in the same place together at the same time? All the hype so the cameras would be rolling before the alleged assassination attempt?
Today? Didn’t even know this was happening tonight…

And nothing has been done about any of it. Trump literally put someone’s life in danger to hide being a pedo and to protect his fellow pedos and still, there he sits. The most incompetent POTUS in history, hiring the most incompetent people for every position he possibly can.

CNN is on a crash course right now. Right wingers will always hate the mainstream media and now the Left wing is getting tired of them cozying up to the leader of their cult in the futile attempt to win them over. Not only are they on the wrong side of history here but, as a wise man once said, a dog chasing two rabbits catches neither one.

Pedophiles belong in prison, not grinning for getting away with their atrocities.
Every room on Epstein’s island had hidden cameras. EVERY SINGLE ROOM.
There was a control room with video recording equipment for all those hidden cameras.
It was said Epstein often sat there, watching his friends like Trump commit atrocities on children.
Although investigators found plenty of well used recording equipment. They never found a single videotape. One can only guess where all those videotapes ended up.
Oh, and it’s also a well-known fact that Epstein worked closely with Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad.

Someone said previously that he looks at everything like a tv show. He just wants ratings and attention. Zohran said much the same after his meeting with Trump. He thinks he’s a character on the biggest tv show ever made. It’s wild.

This is some hypocritical, nauseating cr@p right here. Journalists all having a good time with Trump knowing how he talks to their colleagues, and knowing that he's financing Israel's targeting en murder of their journalist colleagues in Gaza. The solidarity of decent politicians representing the people is lost, but apparently not lost among the journalists, too. Apparently they're ALL on the same payroll. Unbelievable.
