More Trump:



“Nice little business you have there Mr. Bezos. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.”

Quote
"I fight like hell to pay as little as possible for two reasons. Number one, I'm a businessman. And that's the way you're supposed to do it," Trump said in an interview with CBS' "Face the Nation." "The other reason is that I hate the way our government spends our taxes. I hate the way they waste our money. Trillions and trillions of dollars of waste and abuse. And I hate it."

I'm actually withholding judgement on this.  The fact that the WP pulled the original headline within an hour suggest to me 1) there is a real anti-Trump bias problem there, and 2) someone blew the whistle and the WP yanked it fast.  The yanking of the headline is a tacit admission that they screwed up.

So if his campaign lifts the ban after a week or so, and that causes the WP to pay a little more attention so crappy headlines don't come out in the first place...I wouldn't really have a problem with that.  I mean, as much as I think he's a gigantic douchenozzle, there is a giant feeding frenzy by the press trying to spin things, even when he's more or less right.  They absolutely hate him.  So...maybe this isn't such a bad move.

What kind of bugs me about this whole thing is that I think Trump's response was a hell of a lot better than Hillary's, and particularly Obama's, and yet the press is giving them a completely free pass.  I don't think all of us should be aiding/abetting that just because we don't like Trump.

The WaPo Web regime is full of "Wonkette" types.   Idiots and frauds.
