(shhhh - I know...)

Deflection

“When the story clearly is about the president’s humiliation of being literally carted await in hiding.”

Maybe because it was THEIR lives at stake

Somebody ask him why he was so concerned about Iran targeting him, when he keeps telling us they obliterated all their capabilities.

😂😂😂

Standard typical response to ANYTHING Trump does that is the slightest bit awkward: "The MEDIA is freaking out again!!"

You know deep down Trump was kind of hoping all those pesky media folks that he has to let follow him might’ve gone down in flaming wreckage.

lol.

I guess the press corps (and Marco Rubio among others) should be thankful they were on the older Air Force 1 which is actually equipped to deal with attacks. And thank God it didn’t happen.

Ok, let’s make it about the cabinet secretaries whose lives were in danger.

Newsmax=Fox in terms of integrity and propaganda pushing

Leave it to Rethuglicans to want people to die for Trump.

Trump is a huge p*ssy

"The reporters are just babies. Just like Mike Pence was such a baby to complain about the Trump-incited rioters chanting to hang him on a gallows they had brought along. People should just focus on Trump's greatness not trivialities like their own death. MAGA."

4chan trolls should never run a government

Kush needs to some some of his namesake

It goes to show even right wing journalists lives don't matter to Drumpf. I wonder how they feel about that?

Wow!

Wow.

Who cares about those peasants? 😒

He left both Rubio and Bessent to die. That's two people in the line of succession and he just left them as bait.

Yeah it's odd that headset went on the plane with the 🟠🤡. Tells you what he thinks of Rubio.

Newsmax is for the media before it was the media before it was against the media?

So was a foreign power actually about to step in and do for America what she wouldn’t do for herself, or is Trump just the PAB Chrissy Teigen said he was?

Typical reaction from Trump and his administration, basically saying, “I know you are, but what am I.” Fifth grade discourse, at best.

How dare the cannon fodder complain about being cannon fodder? Know your role, dammit

I bet Küsh Desai would have crapped his trousers if he was left on the target plane.

The Republican motto........"let's see how we can flip the script to our advantage!" REMEMBER the swamp IS the republicans (every single one of them) make sure to vote every single one of those bottom feeders out of office!!! 💙💙💙💙💙

* KUSH DESAI: "Leave it to the mainstream media to try to make the story about themselves." * Carl Jung, the Shadow, and the Dangers of Psychological Projection *

Trump didn't tell um there was enough of a threat that he had to hide in a food cart😅

I bet he says that to his wife and kids after hitting them "You're always making it about yourself!"

🤡

Leave it to Trump sycophants to criticize the media for reporting what they saw.

100%

I had the same thought -say he was found in the wreckage unhurt "It's a MIRACLE!!" MAGAs would just EAT THAT UP

Lick spittle propagandists

How selfish of those pesky reporters to not appreciate being reduced to dummy decoys for a possible missile strike.

Wow that is a terrible response!

Trump doesn’t care about: - the Epstein victims - the millions dead of COVID - the dead American soldiers, dead Iranian civilians, or the Iranians his distraction war has radicalized - the people dying from preventable diseases Why would he care about bait on a plane?

How dare they. Perfect line describing Trump: Always makes the story about himself.

GOP*

I mean, what about the guilt Trump had to carry about the decision. He probably didn’t sleep for weeks.

The mainstream media, always thinking about themselves, not wanting to be sacrificed for Dear Donald! It would serve them right if Donald didn't allow them to honor him at another one of their banquets!

That was a crazy answer!

How dare they complain about being sacrificial lambs!!!!!

Newsmax makes up so much that they may as well be the Weekly World News.

Just because Trump was using journalists as bait on the plane Israel claimed was targeted while he escaped concealed in a food cart. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Oh lord

Feels weird to be bait, huh? The Army did this to me in Central America.....it was those fuckers at CentCom.

How different would their response be if THEY’D been the ones on that decoy flight…hmmm???

Yeah wearing a bullseye is a cry for attention 🤦🏾‍♀️

He'd rather we focus on the president slinking away hidden in a drinks cart?

Someone else suggested this. Once trickery gets exposed, any number of theories surface, all seeming possible.

Funny Newsmax should complain about mainstream media when they are mainstream media. I'm used to Fox News doing that.

🤪🤪🤪

Imagine not wanting to die in a hail of missile fire. Buncha babies.

My dumbest belief in 2017 was that the media would protect itself from Trump by being appropriately critical of his administration. My second dumbest belief was that a few congressional Republicans loved America more than their party. Lol. I was so stupid!

Why why why why why do you repost this garbage?

Themselves and also the Secretary of State.

Conservatives are all evil people. Don't know what else to tell ya.

This isn’t about the media. This is about how this administration has used these people, because that’s what they are, people. The SS made a call to protect the president over the lives of the WH media and staff. That’s their job. But that doesn’t excuse the way Trump disrespects them daily. Sad.

Leave it to president TACO to endanger people to save his own hide.

Here’s the irony: He saved himself but jeopardized the lives of everyone else on AF1. If AF1 then had been shot down, the country would have rallied behind him (with the help of RW media & algorithms) and country would’ve gone gung ho for a full scale invasion of Iran.

Considering trump is the most selfish human being (if you can call him that) on the planet, yeah the journalist are allowed to be mad their lives were put in danger to save the fascist in diapers only 20 percent of the population would have missed.

Trump is a coward.

Mainstream media left the public behind several years ago. I care about them the same way they care about me

"Donald Trump pushes five year-old in front of moving bus" Media: "so what's the special in the cafeteria today?"

Okay ...now I want to see that Quatari jet, preferably with Trump and lots of his synchophant Trumpanzees aboard, lose power and pile into the side of a mountain...

Are you tell me this guy used unwitting Americans as dupes to save his own skin? Come on!

That’s the same press corps that has thus far monumentally failed to actually hold Trump to account? THAT press corps? LMAODL LOLz

Life imitating art.

Interpretation: “They won’t let me on the presidents plane…” ✈️

It is pretty disgusting that Trump only thought of himself., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/08/when...

Again, instant sadism gratification

Oh good point. Next time warn the media and see who opts out to take JetBlue. Snoozemax, Faux News and OHHHNA can stay on board.

if this happened with Obama/Hilary/Joe, there would be hearings for a decade over it.

C'mon - these clowns continually show that they have little regard for those not a part of the regime, whether they are journalists or, essentially, average American citizens. Just because MAGA voters are too dim to realize it doesn't make it not a thing.

Who else is it about?

Damn, these MAGAS didn’t give a shit about the lives left on Air Force One! They made no provisions or plans of escape for those remaining on board: WH staff, press core and other essential personnel!

Let's ask Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller how they feel?

He did the same with COVID -protected himself and family while pushing the rest of us the ignore it Lost a million people

Was Newsmax part of the pool? Regardless, nice empathy for fellow reporters who may have been blown out of the sky

Ffs

Funny thing is, if he had been using the Omani jet he couldn’t have pulled that trick. It lacks that exit and would require extensive structural changes to add it.

Desai’s the designated asshole at 1600 these days. Get used to it.

Re I

Without the photo op !

If someone could possibly be shooting missiles at me you're God damned right I'm going to make it about me!

😂🤣😂 hilarious!

I love it when I see the benchwarmers trotted out. It means that none of the usual suspects, despite what they do every day, want anything to do with THIS particular lie. cc @edroso.bsky.social

“They brought it upon themselves” is White House policy apparently

Left Behind.

I'm surprised they're aren't trying to get Kush deported.

Rubio and Bessent would like to have a word.

DEI hire says what, meow?

WH press pool/ journalists, not the same thing.

He literally put their lives on the line and they could have died because they chose to put those lives at risk instead of putting them on a different plane.

These guys are camera tough but p*ssies behind the scenes. Push ups, pull ups, super hero AI, costumes...in reality no spine

Mr. Desai - Then explain it to us like we're 5 years old. Seems pretty clear to those with eyes and some degree of common sense what happened here. We also know we're dealing with the "bone spurs" president - we can connect the dots!

Well he said he was the great protector who knew he didnt mean protector of Americans but of trays of chicken and rice and airplane size bottles of Jack Daniels

God forbid these journalists care about their own safety. Don The Con sure as hell doesn't.

Can’t even be mad. Media has boxed themselves into this position.

Dr. Fauci would like a word.🖕

Kush auditioning for new job.

Who is this brown MAGA?! leavitt’s replacement?!

so, FOX „journalists“ are ok with being used as bait?

This was pre meditated act to use the press as bait this is how the press should be handling this and I'm not hearing a lot of news organizations saying this of course FOX NEWSMAX won't but everyone else should
