11. The Press Should Boycott

Reply to BumRushDaShow (Original post)

Tue Mar 3, 2026, 08:23 AM

Tuesday

Hopefully, most of the mainstream press refuses to attend. Why should any legitimate member of the press attend this event? All this man has done is attack the free press. What can they expect from this man except more attacks? Just leave him with an empty room, or a room full of his sycophant friends and admirers.
