Is this The Apprentice? Donald Trump boasts his cabinet has "finalists"

[yuna628 9,758]

Billion Dollar question, will Trump move the White house to Trump Tower? Will Melania and Barron stay back in Midtown?

Will the Throne Room of opulent gold fit into the Oval Office, and will his own portrait hang next to Washington?

He would love to muzzle the media like a true dictator. That will not happen.

I didn't say all media. Just the corporate media whores and their presstitutes. Trump wont have to do anything. They are destroying themselves which is evident if you look at their tanking ratings. Independent media outlets will replace them and we will all be better off. The corporate media reports the news how their sponsors want them to. Not how reality says they should.

Media whores like Fox ?

Independent outlets like Breitbart ?

A new Trump-Breitbart national "news" merge ? I know Trump has played with the idea of his own news media.

Hilarious.

And we the taxpayers should feel fortunate for the opportunity

There you go putting words in my mouth yet again. By the way Trump was thinking about starting his own network if he wasn't elected president. I have not heard of any talk about it beyond that. But you believe whatever you want.

Trump will have nothing to do with the collapse of the corporate media. They are doing it to themselves by being compulsive liars. There are "citizen journalists" now that have better ratings with a digital camera and a youtube account than some of the corporate media outlets. Their days of having a monopoly over information are coming to an end. Some outlets such as the NY Times aren't even turning a profit anymore.

Donald Trump has tweeted a bizarre statement, claiming the people in the running for his Cabinet are 'finalists', causing many to make comparisons to The Apprentice, the US version of which he fronted.

He tweeted: "Very organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many other positions. I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!"

The president-elect made this claim amid reports of rifts and disarray in his transition team.

So bizarre to call people finalist. Try again Snowflake.

What do the Amish lobby, gay wedding vans and the ban of the national anthem have in common? For starters, theyre all make-believe and invented by the same man.

Paul Horner, the 38-year-old impresario of a Facebook fake-news empire, has made his living off viral news hoaxes for several years. He has twice convinced the Internet that hes British graffiti artist Banksy; he also published the very viral, very fake news of a Yelp vs. South Park lawsuit last year.

But in recent months, Horner has found the fake-news ecosystem growing more crowded, more political and vastly more influential: In March, Donald Trumps son Eric and his then-campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, even tweeted links to one of Horners faux-articles. His stories have also appeared as news on Google.

In light of concerns that stories like Horners may have affected the presidential election, and in the wake of announcements that both Google and Facebook would take action against deceptive outlets, Intersect called Horner to discuss his perspective on fake news.

those of you who are going around calling everyone who disagrees with you 'snowflakes' i certainly hope moderation is going to allow me to refer to ya'll as trump-bangers. it has a nice ring, and is a vague shoutout to miley cyrus. if anyone has any other more creative/fitting suggestions, please advise.

not surprised a trump presidency ushered in allowance of cehst name calling, and here i thought the family filter would implode from overuse.

And here I thought they just kept saying snowflakes because they have a large amount of dandruff. Was about to suggest that there is shampoo for that condition.

Calling people Snowflake is getting old. Do you have another word you could substitute once and a while ?

The 'finalist' comment went totally over your head.

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Well, I didn't read the rest of the thread first and thought I was the only one with a comment about the snowflake thing.
Note to self: read first, post after.

Ha! Just another thing I just almost posted about. Great minds think alike.

Unfortunately not so great minds think alike also and that's a part of what got Trump elected, people believing

whatever they read without fact checking and now wanting more of it, creating their very own little world.

These fake news spring up like mushrooms. Repeated, retweeted and that makes it a fact supposedly.
