This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.

    “it’s hate”
    Said the paedo who is so full of hate it balloons its skin and turns it orange.

    Can you imagine what this buffoon would be like if he was faced with questions from a proper journalist?

    Listening to this traitor speak is just exhausting. WTF is the hottest country in the world? This isn’t Zoolander you twat. We are all miserable and the cost of living has skyrocketed since you got into office.

    I hate that people actually believe the shit he says.

      He means hot, as in, he’s set fire to the economy, trying to burn it to the ground.

      It’s “we’re living in hell” hot.

      America is so hot, nobody wants to touch it.

    I’m going to keep sharing this until people understand what’s going on: Narcissist Collapse

    If you give him even the slightest pushback, he freaks out. The thing is, we need to keep pushing and pushing without letting him yell “Fake News!” or call a reporter “nasty.” Keep pushing and he’ll melt down.

      Trump is so rarely challenged, simple questions can seem hostile

      As a German, I had to laugh at “NPD” as this is the name of the predecessor of the current Nazi party AfD, and this is just such a perfect fit.

        Technically the NPD is the predecessor of the new outspoken nazi-party “Die Heimat” and not the AfD but the sentiment holds true

      This leads to a breakdown which manifests as angry outbursts, irritable or defensive behavior, and verbal or physical aggression. … It can result in harm to the person with NPD and those around them.

      That’s too good of a way to go for that child molesting, rapist.

      Trump is in the Epstein files.

      He’s a convicted felon who needs to be put away until he expires.

        You’re absolutely right, thanks!

        ABC agrees to give $15 million to Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle defamation lawsuit

        Of course my point about appeasing fascists still stands, but it’s important to have the facts straight. Much appreciated.

        We’ll see. They still have to live in this world, and they were already rich.

    “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.”

    The narcissism here is incredible - taking a question that is essentially about the United States Attorney General suppressing our supposedly most cherished protected right, and making it about his own “oppression.”

      Hate is the civil war buzzword theyre pushing because Robinson used it so frequently. Theyre genuinely going to try and brand an entire section of the political spectrum as terrorism
