I read a bunch of the comments.
I was most fascinated by the President Trump supporter who challenged the liberals to “try to explain why DON is so f popular abroad but TRASHED nonstop back in America?”

I have no idea how representative that guy is, but that is another drop in the This-will-not-end-well bucket.

Has anyone told him Donny is equally reviled and laughed at outside the USA too?

A lot of winning in Kentucky. Check out the numbers.

Our big Kentucky Rally on Monday night had a massive impact on all of the races. The increase in Governors race was at least 15 points, and maybe 20! Will be in Louisiana for
@EddieRispone on Wednesday night. Big Rally!

Really ? The Republican was that far behind ?

Sounds like President Trump is trying to make himself feel better about the GOP likely losing that race.

Wow. Trump is bragging about violating the 1st amendment.

If it even comes to a recount Trump will feel let down. It's not a good time to be Kentuckian. California can push back, but when the Wrath of Trump falls on Kentucky what's it got? Not a lot, frankly.

He'll soon say ther guy he said was a great candidate was a poor candidate. Doesn't count.

Trump used the power of the government to limit the freedom of the press just because he doesn't like the news it is publishing.

Mmm. Trump Tower Azerbaijan fairly certainly involving serious violations of US law isn't exactly new news, though, to be fair. That's from 2017, and, while not forgotten, has been crowded out by so very, very much contempt for the law since.

I’m not sure one could win a court case in this particular matter. This is a county of 140,000 people 1000 miles from New York City. The library asked for funds to subscribe to the online edition of The NY Times. It could be easily argued that the library budget needs to be spent on state and local news instead of national and international news with a New York City slant. After all, the vast majority of items covered by the Times can be found in other online news sources without paywalls.

That is what could be claimed, but did they just not claim that it's because Trump called it fake news?
