45. Trump is following his hero's model
Wed Feb 18, 2026, 12:22 AM
Wednesday

CBS and some other media outlets are simply bending the knee to Trump because he appointed them as his oligarchs, Ala Putin model. If Putin's oligarchs get out of line, he makes life difficult for them or worst. This is no different. Wave a tax break in front of most of these traitor turncoats and they'll kiss his big ass harder. Same goes for the weak ass billionaire tec bros.
