March 17, 2025: Trump on Truth Social

“Third Rate Magazine, “The Atlantic,” that made up the “Suckers and Losers” Hoax about me and the Military, and refused to even acknowledge the vast horde of people who emphatically denied this FAKE STORY, has asked me to do an interview.

Below is my response:

Ashley Parker is not capable of doing a fair and unbiased interview. She is a Radical Left Lunatic, and has been as terrible as is possible for as long as I have known her. To this date, she doesn’t even know that I won the Presidency THREE times. If you have some other reporter, let us know, but Ashley is not capable or competent enough to understand the intricacies of High Level politics. Likewise, Michael Scherer has never written a fair story about me, only negative, and virtually always LIES. The Atlantic is doing terribly, losing a fortune, and will hopefully fold up and be gone in the not too distant future. It has absolutely no credibility, and would be far better off, in terms of “journalism,” to cease publication. Nevertheless, when you have a writer with intelligence, competence, and fairness, please let me know!”

March 24, 2025: If reports are true—and I pray they are—that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Big Pharma ads on TV, a massive society earthquake is about to happen on two fronts.

#1: The corporate media will fail. You will watch before your very eyes as highly paid MSM anchors are fired, networks panic & some shut down, and paychecks aren’t paid. The entire business of MSM is a fake business. It’s artificially propped up by massive ad dollars from Pharma ads. Not because of the return on investment that Pharma sees peddling their drugs on TV, but rather because of WHY Pharma buys so many TV ads in the first place, which is to prevent reporting on Pharma corruption.

#2: Accordingly, when the gravy chain of Pharma ad dollars to TV networks stops, we will suddenly see reporting on the corruption of Big Pharma, drugs, vaccines, medical associations like AAP & AMA, and govt regulation agencies like CDC & FDA—reporting that was previously prohibited because the ad money Pharma paid networks was really just a pay off for silence. Pharma knew they didn’t sell drugs off those commercials, it was a money laundering scheme to keep reporters silent about the abuses coming out of Pharma. Even Roger Ailes once admitted he didn’t let his people on Fox report negatively on Pharma because it would destroy their bottom line.

 

If reports are true—and I pray they are—that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Pharma ads on TV, the double revolution of Big Pharma & MSM is about to begin.

March 26, 2025: REP FALLON: "In 2020, NPR branded Hunter Biden's laptop story a 'waste of time.' Do you know how many times NPR interviewed Adam Schiff about the Russia Collusion hoax?"

NPR CEO: "Idk."

REP FALLON: "25 times. How many times did NPR interview Chairman Comer about the Biden impeachment inquiry and the Biden family's illicit business dealings?"

NPR CEO: "Idk."

REP FALLON: "0 times. 25 to 0. Between June and November of 2023, PBS's News Hour used the term 'far-right' 162 times, and 'far-left' was only used 6 times. Do you find that troubling?"

PBS CEO: "I want to see how they did that analysis."

REP FALLON: "Media Research Center did the study. You either use the term 'far-right' or 'far-left.' That's a 96% to 4% skew. Did PBS cover the DNC and GOP conventions in 2024?"

PBS CEO: "Yes, we did."

REP FALLON: "72% of the coverage of the GOP convention was negative. 88% of the coverage of the DNC was positive. PBS's anchor described the Republican convention as 'outright racism' and 'echoing white supremacy.' Do you believe your reporters are non-biased at NPR?"

NPR CEO: "I believe they work to be every day."

REP FALLON: "The recent registration of your newsroom was 87 Democrats and 0 Republicans."

NPR CEO: "I find that very concerning, sir."

REP FALLON: "It shouldn't be surprising when their CEO says 'I'm so done with late-stage capitalism' or calls the POTUS a 'deranged racist sociopath' or says that 'America is addicted to white supremacy.'"

REP FALLON: "Billions of taxpayer dollars have gone into both of your coffers over the last few decades, and I understand why Democrats are going to viciously and vehemently defend you all because you've become a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party."

March 30, 2025: Trump Truth Social Post

“Kristen Welker’s entire first half hour of the Lowly Rated Meet the Fake Press this morning, was devoted to the boring Signal Witch Hunt. She doesn’t want to talk in detail about anything that matters like how well we are doing against the Houthis, substantive Peace Talks with Russia and Ukraine or, Iran, Iran, Iran. She wastes my Administration’s time by talking to them about “NOTHING.” Why can’t NBC, one of the Worst Broadcasters on Television, hire people that are honest and credible? The reason they don’t is because their Chairman, Brian Roberts, is a pathetic Loser, who is petrified of the Left, and always will be. Comcast’s MSNBC and NBC have fought me for years, spending almost all of their waking hours making up Fake Stories — and look, I’m PRESIDENT, with really high Poll Numbers and Great Accomplishments. Good job Brian!”

April 12, 2025: Welp here you go: Former Clinton Advisor breaks down “The Playbook” on how they destroy their opponents

“Big corporations hire people like me to come inside and implement The Playbook. And here's the way The Playbook works:

- First, they attack you broadly and they question your facts

- They say you're lying and it's ferocious

- But if you keep on moving after that, they move on to character assassination. They take on who you are as a person

- They dig up everything bad in your past and leak it to the press. If you had a fender bender, you're a reckless driver. If you paid a bill late, you're a deadbeat. And so on and so on.

- Every part of your life goes under their microscope

- They try to embarrass you

- They try to make you say, this fight isn't worth what it's costing me, and you quit

But if that doesn't stop you, and it stops most people, but it didn't stop Bobby (Robert F Kennedy Jr), they say you're a liar. If liar doesn't work, they say you're an Antisem*te and a racist.

Crazy or kook or crank or nut job are their mainstays. That's their nuclear option. Because if they can get everyone to dismiss you as a wacko nutjob, everything you say is suspect.

If all the publications and TV shows you trust tell you someone's a crazy person, they must be a crazy person, right? This is New York magazine in 1995. This is New York magazine in 2023. This is Vanity Fair in 2006. This is Vanity Fair in 2020. This is Rolling Stone in 1992. This is Rolling Stone in 2023.” (All media propaganda for decades)

CIA Mike Morell: “Can I add your name to this list? Will be adding Leon Panetta, Sue Gordon, Jeh Johnson, George, Lisa Monaco, and Mike Rogers. And working on adding Dan Coats, Mike Rogers (HPSCI), and Tom Bossert. And lots of other IC career folk.

Trying to give the campaign, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue.”

CIA John Brennan; “Ok Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.”
