When the press pool was invited to ask their questions after Karoline’s most excellent briefing, my admiration for our fearless and refreshingly direct Press Secretary expanded exponentially. Ferocity with a charming smile, wearing white, hair loose around her shoulders…
A few tidbits:
“This is why Americans’ trust in the mass media is at its lowest point in five decades.”
“President Putin publicly confirmed what President Trump has said all along: The war between Russia and Ukraine never would have started in the first place if President Trump were in office. This was always obvious to any person with a shred of common sense.”
“Just look at what took place during the last four administrations:
- Under George W. Bush, Russia invaded Georgia.
- Under Barack Obama, Russia took Crimea.
- Under Joe Biden, Russia invaded Ukraine.
But under President Trump, Russia did not invade or take anything.”
“One thing that has absolutely not changed is the media’s negative and downright false coverage of President Trump and his foreign policy accomplishments. From the beginning of this entire process, much of the left-wing media has been actively rooting against the president of the United States in the pursuit of peace.”
“Initially, the media ridiculously claimed that President Trump was somehow beholden to Russia for even agreeing to have a face-to-face discussion with President Putin inside of the United States. The media said President Trump was making a great mistake by legitimizing Putin. They were aghast that President Trump would treat another world leader like a world leader.”
“All week and following those historic U.S. / Russia bilateral talks, we listened to clueless pundits on television trying, but failing, to claim that the president had failed. The so-called experts in the foreign policy establishment, whose record is nothing but endless wars, trillions of wasted taxpayer dollars, and dead Americans, have the nerve to try and lecture President Trump, who has solved seven global conflicts in seven months.”
Hmm…NPCs largely make up the legacy media, perhaps?
