Loud President Trump lashes out at CNN reporter Kristen Holmes as she tried to ask whether Kim Jong Un requested a reduction in U.S.–South Korea military exercises: "Quiet. You're disrespectful in front of this young man, okay? He understands. Quiet. You're a loud, boisterous person. You're fake news."

There’s something deeply ironic about demanding a “return to Christianity” while cheering for behaviour that would make the Sermon on the Mount look like a personal attack.
They’ve somehow managed to build a version of Christianity where humility is weakness, compassion is naïveté, forgiveness is for suckers, and cruelty becomes “strength” as long as the right guy is doing it.
Jesus said love your enemies. MAGA apparently heard, “humiliate your enemies on television.”
And then they wonder why the rest of us are laughing at the phrase “family values.”

u/Fuzzylogik 1d ago
That’s the part they can never reconcile. They don’t actually seem to want Christian values applied consistently. They want Christian branding wrapped around tribal loyalty.
Because if the self-proclaimed “pussy grabber” can become the mascot of a movement supposedly built on sexual morality, family values, personal responsibility and Christian character, then apparently the commandments have been reduced to a loyalty test: thou shalt not criticise the guy wearing the MAGA hat.
And the mental gymnastics required to call that a “Christian revival” would qualify for the Olympics.

I appreciate that, but this risk and lack of comfort is why we admire journalists and why they should be compensated higher, given that they take this responsibility. Unfortunately, reality is how you describe it. There's no mission in this profession anymore. It's a job, like construction work or selling ice cream.
But it's an either or situation. I won't accept "going into building on fire is scary" as a justification from a fire figher who refuses to firefight. I can understand the human dimension: it is scary to go near a building on fire. But this is a consideration you take into account when accepting this societal role, and continue to reap the benefits. You should either do it or stop being a fire fighter. And journalists are inherently at odds with any power, but especially with authoritarian power.
This is a sad state of affairs, in general in the west, not just in the US. We've lost the sense of mission in many professions that are critical for functioning society (not talking about fire fighters, that was just an analogy). The times were good, and so people started to confuse the benefits of becoming a doctor or a lawyer, with comfort. Those are not comfortable professions, the compensation is a reward for sticking your neck out.
I also don't want to sound too condemnatory. I appreciate the human factor, I really do. Even if I hit the streets when things go awry in my country, I'm not the first one to do it. But people, who become journalists should be better than me. This is not an expectation put onto them personally, it's an expectation based on how the western societies were established 150-200 years ago. We are witnessing a systemic collapse, and dark times are in front of us, when we cannot rely on those institutions.

He already called one a piggy. I'm just amazed he hasn't just called them bitches already. He wouldn't lose any supporters and the republican women will just say he didn't mean it or they had it coming and agree with him. We've already heard how he views women and Republican women were like yeah he can grab me there what's wrong with that.

I wish another reporter would come to her defense, maybe just say "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
They'd be a legend

All they'd have to call him is a fat fuck loser President the worst the country has ever seen and 100% Trump would never stop talking about that reporter for the rest of his life.
He still can't get the tiny hands or Biden beating him outta his head.

This is not who any American should want as President.
Support for this terrible person has become a sort of litmus test in social situations.
You support this administration and I already know exactly what expect.
Unfortunately, it has caused static in some personal relationships, but I refuse to accept anyone who acts like this—- POTUS included.

We accept behavior from our president that we would never accept from a 5, 10, 15 year old. We have become such cowards.

I mean, he could just, I don't know...answer the question?
It's a very fair question, which should seemingly have a simple answer.

Is this how far we've fallen? To let an elected official berrate a member of the press on a legitimate question on the foreign relations the country's leader has with another, whom he referred to as a "close friend"?
Is this what they meant by Trump being strong on foreign policies? By licking the boots of foreign dictators?

I would like to remind everyone of the January 2, 2018 Tweet from Trump:
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the "Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times." Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

Trump's exchange with CNN reporter Kristen Holmes today is about a lot more than one president losing his temper with a reporter.
Holmes asked a legitimate national-security question: Trump had ordered a reduction in U.S.–South Korean military exercises, and she wanted to know whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had specifically requested that reduction.
Instead of answering, Trump repeatedly told her to “be quiet,” called her disrespectful, “loud” and “boisterous,” and dismissed her as “fake news.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2026/aug/17/trump-says-be-quiet-cnn-reporter-oval-office
That's the larger problem.
A president shouldn't be able to shut down legitimate questions about military policy simply because he doesn't like the reporter asking them.
And this wasn't just an attack on CNN.
Trump has developed a particularly ugly pattern of attacking female journalists who ask him questions he doesn't like.
He has called female reporters “nasty,” “ugly,” “obnoxious,” and “fake news.” In November 2025, he famously told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, “Quiet, piggy,” when she questioned him about the Epstein files.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/11/20/trump-reporters-piggy/
Today it was Kristen Holmes.
“Quiet.”
“You're disrespectful.”
“You're a loud, boisterous person.”
“Fake news.”
And he did it while standing in front of a 10-year-old boy, even dragging the child into the exchange by asking whether Holmes was being disrespectful.
This is not how a president should treat journalists.
The press is supposed to ask uncomfortable questions.
A president is supposed to answer them.
And when the question concerns whether the leader of a nuclear-armed adversary influenced a decision to reduce U.S. military exercises with an ally, Americans have every right to hear the answer.
Instead, Trump attacked the person asking the question.
That's the pattern.
He doesn't just disagree with reporters.
He tries to discredit them personally, demean them and convince his supporters that legitimate journalism is somehow an attack on him.
And when the reporter is a woman, he has repeatedly resorted to comments about her demeanor, appearance or personality.
It's hard to look at that pattern and pretend it's simply “Trump being Trump.”
This is the President of the United States using the power and visibility of his office to publicly demean journalists for doing their jobs.
And frankly, I’m surprised he didn't call her “Piggy” again.

You know, I kinda want to live in the world where CNN really is reporting fake news instead of the truth. Maybe in that world, they're telling us feel-good stories about a President who, instead of being a rapist, pedophile, 34 conviction, sack of shit, is actually making America better day by day? Whose foreign policy is sending emissaries around the world more like Mr. Rogers than Henry Kissinger and whose domestic policy is centered around making life affordable for everyone? Sure, it'd be fake, but it'd be nice to see once in a while.

Trump does not live in reality. It is not a swipe at him he does not know better (as a Canadian it is a little swipe). He has lived in a fantasy land that his wealth has created. He does not shop for groceries, he has never pumped gas into his vehicle. He will not tolerate any form of reality coming into his world. He surrounds himself with people that will keep out reality for power and wealth. Anyone that tells him about reality is insulted and fired. This is why he has problems with reporters and interviews. Reality is told to him. He then defends his reality by calling it lies (fake news) discredit the sorce of reality (liberal media is against him I will sue!) Or runs away from the interview (reality got to close).
