When will the news media take the final step and tell the American people the truth about Trump?

The news media did a very good job investigating Trump. They did a terrible job calling out Trump for who he really is. The news media has never dealt with someone like Trump. It took them time to call him a liar, a racist.

One day, I am hopeful, the news media will call Trump a traitor, because that is exactly what he is.

Trump knew about the attack from Russia on our election. He denied it over and over again. He used it to help him win the election. Trump asked Russia for help to attack Hillary on video. Trump sided with Putin, the person who attacked us, over our intelligence agencies. Trump cheered for wiki leaks at his rallies over and over again. Wiki leaks was working with Russia. Trump knew exactly what he was doing.

Trump teamed up with our enemy to attack our election, to destroy Hillary with propaganda. That is a fact.

Trump betrayed his country, the people. Donald Trump is a traitor.

One day I will be vindicated and the news media will tell the truth.

Constitutionally defined definition.
In a colloquial sense....maybe a guest would say it but I doubt Tapper, or Rachel, Cuomo, anyone that knows the definition would throw that term around lightly.

I've seen the right call Sec. Clinton a traitor for the Reset button deal with Lavarov and Pres. Obama for the hot mic crap with Medvedev.
It's wrong.

We share intel with the Ruskies, we have Ambassadors in each others countries.
I get your anger....I share it.
What I won't do is water down Constitutional definitions, because if I do that.....I'm as bad as those fuckwaffles calling Sec.Clinton or POTUS Obama a traitor for dealing with the Ruskies

It is now 2019. All they have done is normalize fascism.

It isn't just here. Right wing authoritarian populism - aka fascism - is now a global threat, just like it was from 1922 - 1945.
