Stop listening to his words and report what's actually happening, news media

He's the president of the most powerful country on earth. When his words are "I'm seeking a dictatorship" they are news.

he did literally get elected on the promise of being a dictator

Got elected with a promise of being a dictator on the side. Not on the promise of being it. He got elected on the promise of abusing immigrants.

No, he literally said he'd be a dictator on day one. He was very up front about it, and his base cheered him on

Exactly. Our media is absolutely spineless.

It should be breaking news, the US has fallen to authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, etc.

They are not reporting the news accurately. But then again, the media currently serves the billionaire class.

This is one of those things were it is important to report on what he's saying tho.

Newspapers say they report fairly on all topics. Critics say otherwise.

Some people say the newspapers report everything perfectly fine. Not everyone agrees. Here's what we think.

I got a million of these.
