    Enormous pressure on NBC now to make this thing a nightmare for Trump.

        It's so sad to see Fox News hosts spoonfeeding him answers to no avail. Fox: "You care about the Constitution." Trump: "I'm all-powerful. I can do what I want." F: "So you're saying you support the Founding Fathers vision of America." T: "They weren't too smart, you know?"

        Who said yes to this at the network? How can employees allow management to misstep like this?

        Same people who tried to silence @RonanFarrow are still in charge at NBC. He documented it in #CatchAndKill #BoycottNBC

        I hope someone asks him about the Biden/Seal Team Six/Bin Laden conspiracy he floated yesterday. Would definitely like clarification on that point.

        Joe Biden May 3, 2011 2011 Atlantic Council Annual Awards Dinner I was in absolute awe – awe – of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs; it just was extraordinary.
