2025/11/25

The Trump-trashing elitist media erupted in outrage when President Donald Trump told ABC White House reporter Mary Bruce she was a “terrible person” and “terrible reporter” and ABC was “fake news.” Bruce was throwing hardballs at Trump and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince.

In 2001, per Gallup, 11 percent of Democrats and 7 perc...
