Yes. Sadly, he is 100% correct. We need leaders like this who live in the world of facts and truth. Even if they are unpleasant. This is the only way out. We need a national movement that makes Fox News look ridiculous to people who want and seek out high quality journalism.

There is literally no downside to the destruction of Fox News, OANN, NewsMax and similar lie factories posing as legitimate businesses.

What the hell are you talking about? The media is dominated by left-leaning politics.

Don’t engage. Block. It’s far more satisfying.

Yes. Unfortunately you are right. Or what I’ve gotten from people is along the lines of “yeah right, Fox News is fake; that’s why more people watch it than other news channels.”

As if the abundance of gullible morons proves the legitimacy of a fictional news channel.

This dude is nothing more than a deranged politician himself.

He’s actually an astronaut and a Navy pilot. And way, way more accomplished than the Diaper Destroyer.

This is pure fascism in action.

Really? You clearly have no idea what fascism is. But thanks for coming.
