I think he's seeing it as, "If I go down, I will take as many of you as I can with me."

I get it. But like most of his 'kiss my ass or I am going to become VERY OUTRAGEOUS' threats he has nothing and it is all bullshit.

Yeah.  It's like the Nunes memo.  He has nothing.  If he does have something, then by all means release it.  If Democrats are involved in some sort of criminal activity I want to know.  Holding it back is a great disservice.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I assume the whole point of such a threat is to advance the narrative 'everyone is a criminal, it is only a question of us versus them'.

Typical bullshit.

Trump ponders creating a new government-run news channel to compete with CNN.

It would be a nice change from a "news" channel running the government.

Heh.

In the 2000s I worked for the then-largest media company in Spain, which was aligned with the socialist party. I remember talking to one of my bosses, and he smugly saying "We are not the government's network, they are this network's government".

Since then they have gone bankrupt and sold most of their assets to their conservative rivals...

If you think about it, Trump's comment is an admission that he doesn't see Fox as a news organization.

QuoteDonald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

I was very much looking forward to having a press conference just prior to leaving Argentina because we have had such great success in our dealing with various countries and their leaders at the G20....

....However, out of respect for the Bush Family and former President George H.W. Bush we will wait until after the funeral to have a press conference.

Quote.I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN

He is the first politician whom I truly believe he actually means that: he really is not aware that tariffs are paid in the country that issues them, by Americans in this case.

Valmy

Is that the President? Maybe he means people who are coming from abroad to buy imported goods. Dirty raiders.
