'Pay Me More!!!' Trump Explodes at ABC After Donna Brazile Tears Into His Record

President Donald Trump lashed out at ABC News late Sunday night, demanding the network fire contributor Donna Brazile and more compensation for criticism of him, referring to ABCs 2024 defamation settlement.
The broadside came just hours after Brazile, the former DNC chair, appeared on ABCs This Week to slam his axing of Secret Service protection from former Vice President Kamala Harris as petty and vindictive.
She also attacked Trumps tariffs, which she said had created a level of uncertainty that the American people cant afford.
Trump fired back by questioning why ABC employed her at all, before insisting the broadcaster owed him more after Braziles latest remarks:

ABC (Disney) should have never caved. I think with the vast resources that they have, they apparently would rather "move on" from the loon (and make more $$$ for their businesses), because the only thing that shuts him up is $$$.

Housing discrimination, clearing his casinos of all black employees when he visited them. Repulsive fat coward and fraud king. Lying 24/7/365. The sex abusing..... and on and on.

The story was in full view but I don't think the "reasons" were noted in a way that explored The Bully's delight & instigating that led to "The Worm" falling off the wagon.
I watched as a live text-book examination of my rather dry prior "Abnormal Psych" text book observations of abnormal personalities.

(21,900 posts)All the strutting and bragging is compensation, or rather an attempt at compensation, for the fact that he's an empty shriveled husk inside.

He is expecting 78, 14 year old virgins.

(21,097 posts)Whether you believe in an afterlife or not, you've got to admit he deserves the atheist / agnostic version, where entropy wins and what was Donnie the Dumb Ass ceases to exist for eternity. He's constantly trashed in the near future but no longer able to defend himself. Long term, he's gone, forgotten. A boring US history lesson for future generations. For a malignant narcissist, that's a worse fate than Hell could ever dish out. Only downside is he'll not have enough lingering consciousness to realize it.

(5,294 posts)I've always wanted him to be disabled and unable to make his speeches and public appearances. That way he would have to reflect and be passive. I think it is happening somewhat.
On Aug 20th. He admitted he'd like to get there but he acknowledged he was low on that "totem pole"
I want to end it (Ukraine War), (Mr Trump) said. I want to try and get to heaven if possible. Im hearing Im not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.

(21,097 posts)I've been through this with 2 parents, 2 in-laws, a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law. The decline isn't linear. It's choppy where the bad days increase, sometimes exponentially, and the good days decrease at the same rate. Then they rally for a short period. The old "gotta get better to die." Eventually, the final crash and they're done.
Let's hope we're in the ever increasing "bad day" phase. Better yet, just crash ya bastard and get this over with!

(12,249 posts)How did pedo Trump fire back?
He fired back thru a long winded Truth Social tweet. The article does not make that clear. It implies he appeared in person but he only tweeted.
How do we know who is at the other end of the tweet? It could be anyone.
He loves to insult reporters. If he was alive and well he would be out there calling them names and yelling at them in person.
crimycarny
(1,950 posts)Not his style at all. Punctuation is correct (and he rarely uses punctuation anyway). Trump doesn't uses dashes either.
This sentence in particular really stands out (to me anyway) as not being Trump:
Wasnt she totally discredited when she gave Crooked Hillary Clinton the questions to a Debate??? Wasnt she FIRED by Fake News CNN for so doing???
"for so doing" ??? No way did Trump write that, too eloquent and grammatically correct for him.

(1,000 posts)Then certainly, Trumps staff can do it. Ive thought many times that Stephan Miller is the guy who tweets for Trump. Never has a more whiny ass MF ever existed except Trump than Miller.

The Felon can "demand" all he wants to, but he'll get nothing. Everyone, including his own Schutzstaffel, knows his massive ego is just throwing another of his thousands of onion-skinned temper tantrums.

(13,183 posts)Is this asshole going for a hat trick?
He wants Stacey Abrams out of the way dead. He got Joy Reid fired. He got Tiffany Cross fired, who I hoped would be allowed to politically disembowel that Oval Office pedo on the air. Obviously Black women scare the shit out of this yankee cracker.

(3,661 posts)He'll sue ABC for more money. He'll then start suing every network that criticizes him.
Will anyone say no?
Then he'll go after their licenses. Whether they give him money or not.
Will anyone stop him?
Imagine no reporting anymore.
How then do we fight?
Thanks to ABC and CBS for capitulating from the get go.

(128,036 posts)And although it had the usual sprinkling of random capitalizations, the spelling and punctuation were correct and there were complete sentences (assuming MediaIte didn't edit). He didn't write this by himself - maybe not at all. It sounds exactly the way Stephen Cheung sounds when he tries to defend his boss. Here's the post from his fake Twitter, not edited:

I think he's alive (unfortunately), but deteriorating. Has he been seen in public other than on a golf outing? Has he spoken to the press? Social media posts don't prove anything.
