“The privilege of asking Trump the first question was bestowed upon none other than nepo boyfriend Brian Glenn, a “journalist” at the far-right propaganda peddler Real America’s Voice, who’s currently dating Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). “ I hate this timeline
The Trump admin's whole ethos relies on self-victimization at the hands of their favorite catch-all boogeyman: “the media.” They've never held more power—over the country & the media landscape—but they're still too whiny/pathetic to present as anything but victims of their own imagined mistreatment:
