    He, is not a king. If you do not like the system checks and balances, then tear up the US Constitution.

    Right here
    I doubt any law makes disrespect illegal, but yes the press must follow the law as well.

    Except that the right to challenge, critique, and criticize the President and the manner in which the Country is run is literally the very essence giving rise to the First Amendment. It was so vital to the Founding Fathers that they made this THE first Amendment.

    C'mon Bill. I think calling her ugly is a huge stretch, but in regards to actual sexism...you should consider sitting this one out...

    So to summarize the position of many …. Moran publishing moronic and profoundly subjective opinion is good and his employer suspending him for ridiculously inane behavior is bad. Got it.

    Disrespectful clowns meaning any journalists who do not reinforce Trump's false narratives or who have the audacity to ask him serious questions or call out his lies and distortions.

    Well then, if the freedom of the press guaranteed in the First Amendment is not intended to give the press “the right to challenge, critique, and criticize the President and the manner in which the Country is run,” as you stated above, what does the “freedom of the press” mean? And what did our founding fathers mean when they inserted into the FIRAT Amendment?

    The press IS in the WH, just not that one disrespectful reporter/agency. Not everyone gets a seat at the table.

    I guess we’re talking over each other. You said, “News clowns do NOT have the right to disrespect the POTUS... especially in the WH.” I think that discreet statement is rejected by our First Amendment. Reporters can, and should, report on the Presidency, regardless of location. But to your more narrow question of whether all reporters should have equal access to the WH, that’s certainly more nuanced. Freedom of the press does not, to my knowledge, place affirmative duty on an elected official to speak to any particular member of the press.

    Just hilarious. A Trump supporter criticizing someone for demeaning women. Couldn't make this up.


    President Trump referred to the pornographic film actress Stephanie Clifford as “Horseface” in a tweet on Tuesday, adding her to a long list of women he has attacked by demeaning their looks, mocking their bodily functions or comparing them to animals.

    As he battled his rivals for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Mr. Trump made fun of Carly Fiorina’s face on television, saying that people wouldn’t vote for the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard because of her looks.
    “Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” Mr. Trump said during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”

    During his long-running feud with the television star Rosie O’Donnell, Mr. Trump described her as having “a fat, ugly face.” In 2016, he retweeted an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz, the wife of Senator Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican who was one of his primary campaign rivals. The caption on the picture: “Images are worth a thousand words.”
