Donald Trump just upped the ante in his war on late night talkshow hosts and these 19 responses tell you exactly what’s going on right now

It’s startling to know that Donald Trump’s hot air maintains its potency even at 10,000 feet.

While aboard Air Force One, the President was caught pouting in front of reporters about television shows that attack him. He doesn’t like when the media points out any of his flaws or missteps. Furthermore, he doesn’t understand why they’re even allowed to.

Oh well. Freedom of the press had a good run while it lasted.

Trump should probably tune in to Fox News for more on this breaking story, because he’s not going to like how Twitter feels about it.

1.

And there you have it!

The President *stupidly* admits on the record, that this was about “targeting Trump”

It was not about offensive jokes.

It was not about lies.

It was not about Kirk.

Trump threatened licenses because of how *HE* was portrayed.

Oh but they are. Someone needs to teach this fascist goon about the first amendment that he clearly does not understand.
