Angry Joe: Trump Preventing Terrorists From Becoming ‘More Mainstream’

On Thursday’s Morning Joe, the show’s liberal panelists were still reeling from the aftermath of President Trump’s speech yesterday publicly pledging to uphold Jerusalem’s status as the capital of Israel.

CNN: Really Good U.S. Skier Doesn’t Like Trump Either!

CNN very publically refused to attend the White House Christmas Party (which had to be relief to everybody tired of Jim Acosta’s whining – “The waiter intentionally didn’t offer me mini-quiches!”) So it’s not surprising the network loves talking to others who, when it comes to Donald Trump, will take their ball and go home.

NBC: Trump’s ‘Betrayal’ of Palestinians ‘Killed’ Peace Process

Reporting live from Jerusalem on Thursday’s NBC Today, Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Richard Engel made it clear that he was only interested in pushing the Palestinian narrative opposing President Trump’s decision to recognize the city as Israel’s capital.

NYT Still ‘Alarmed’ by Trump’s ‘Dangerous’ Move Recognizing Jerusalem

President Trump, fulfilling a promise that other presidents have made but failed to keep, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and started the process of moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv.
