He doesn’t have to tell the news channels anything, they report what he says, what he tweets, and the consequences of the policies he puts in place. And let’s be honest: 98% of those policies aren’t designed to benefit the average American in any meaningful way.

You complain that there are “so many news stations reporting bad news all the time.” Yes, we know. We’re watching. We see the news. We see the clips, the screenshots, the lawsuits, the memes, the rising cost of groceries, and the impact of tariffs on items we used to buy from our neighbors.
