Trump commands NPR & PBS must die in an all caps rant [1]

Trump wasn't happy enough about the DOGE Oversight Committee's hauling NPR and PBS's CEOs in to be grilled by Marjorie Taylor Greene and defended by Jasmine Crockett.

Trump jumps the gun by imposing his April 2nd tariffs today, and makes it an April Fool's Day joke on the world. Now he wants to destroy NPR and PBS. He's definitely not joking about this. It's in an all caps rant.

"REPUBLICANS MUST DEFUND..." Not if Democrats have anything to do with it. He seems to think that the government only has Republicans in it now. Democrats have been letting Trump get away with way too much. We can only hope that Senator Cory Booker's filibuster makes a difference to the American people and understanding how much destruction Trump is causing and how much they're going to be losing out shortly if he isn't stopped.

"THE RADICAL LEFT 'MONSTERS'..." Suddenly, news reporting that crosses Trump equates with Frankenstein and Dracula. They just haven't learned how to kowtow yet. And they won't. They won't quit. They'll fight tooth and nail. The First Amendment is more powerful than Donald Trump. He will learn it soon. First, Voice of America was radical. I think he already said it about NPR and PBS, but he wants to make sure we know it this time.

"... SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!" You mean, the country you want to be made in your image. We really don't want to go there. Your mind is too ugly and sick for us to allow you to screw it up permanently.

Crawl back into your hole, and stay there, Donald. We don't want to be scared of you anymore. Make that, we ​aren't scared of you anymore.

Go away forever. We won't allow you to be important any longer.
