Don’t laugh, but this is what Donald Trump said on Friday about ‘respect, before he began his short trip to Paris.
“When you’re in the White House, this is a very sacred place for me, a very special place. You have to treat the White House with respect. You have to treat the presidency with respect.”
That statement was part of Trump’s response when a reporter asked about the White House’s ban on CNN’s Jim Acosta. “I think Jim Acosta is a very unprofessional man,” Trump said. “As far as I’m concerned I haven’t made a decision. But there could be others also.”
While answering the question and demanding respect, Trump naturally disrespected another reporter by calling April Ryan a “loser.”
“You talk about somebody that’s a loser; she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing,” Mr. Trump said of Ms. Ryan, in an unprompted diatribe. “She gets publicity, and then she gets a pay raise or a contract with, I think, CNN. But she’s very nasty. And she shouldn’t be. She shouldn’t be. You’ve got to treat the White House and the office of the presidency with respect.”
This would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. A self-proclaimed pussy grabber who has absolutely no respect for anyone inside or outside the White House now expects respect in return.
I can’t wait for 2020 to restore some measure of sanity to this nation. I am tired of having a joker in the White House. I am tired of being the laughing-stock of the entire world.
