Trump Has A Meltdown After Pulitzer Committee Rejects His Request

Donald Trump had a mini-meltdown this week after the Pulitzer Prize board rejected his request that they rescind their award from 2018 that were given to The New York Times and The Washington Post. Trump claimed that the stories that won the award were total "disinformation" and he says that the Pulitzer committee is just running cover for fake news and the Democrats at this point. But that's not actually what happened, as Farron Cousins explains.

Folks Donald Trump is fuming about the fact that the Pulitzer surprise committee will not be rescinding the 2018 Pulitz surprise that they awarded to both the New York times and the Washington post for their reporting on Russian election interference. So here's what happened. Donald Trump of course, had petitioned the Pulitzer committee telling them, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, clearly there was no collusion. So you have to resend the 2018 award that you gave. That was shared, of course, by the New York times and the Washington post. You gotta take it back, cuz you gave it to them for reporting on Russian election interference. But because I didn't collude with them, allegedly, uh, you can't give 'em the awards. You gotta take it back. Well, the committee looked at it and they said, okay, we're gonna examine this. We're actually gonna entertain your little request here for a while. So they looked at it, they examined the pieces and they determined that there wasn't a single headline or passage out of any of the reporting that was false.

None of it, it was all 100% verifiably. True because here's the thing they weren't talking about. Donald Trump working with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election. They talked about Russian interference in the 2016 election, which did happen. That has been confirmed. They talked about Donald Trump's campaign, people that were connected or had been in contact with Russians. That was also confirmed. Those were the things they covered. It's all real, it's all accurate. And they won the Pulitzer for it. And after they told Donald Trump that Nope, everything we, uh, examined here is true. We're not rescinding the reward. Uh, the award, excuse me, Trump gets on his truth. Social of course. And he issues a blistering statement. He says, the Pulitzer board has taken away any shred of credibility. It had left with its response regarding the 2018 Pulitzer prize for national reporting, which was awarded to the New York times and the Washington post for blatant fake news.

Actually, I don't know if this was on truth, social, if it was just a statement he released. But anyway, instead of acting with integrity and providing transparency, the Pulitzer board is running cover for the biggest reporting failure in modern history, the fake Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion hoax. The truth is that the 2018 Pulitzer prize was handed out for reporting that merely parroted political disinformation, disinformation, that we know was fabricated by foreign operatives and my political opponents. If the Pulitzer prize has become a blatant acknowledgement of false liberal political propaganda, then the Pulitzer board should just say so, wow, he's mad.

Donald Trump is mad right now because literally nothing is going his way at all. And you love to see it. Don't you folks, right? The investigations are closing in the one in Georgia is catching up to him. The one in New York is still ongoing. The January 6th committee is beaten the hell outta him. Every time they go on TV, the DOJ has actually launched an investigation and it's moving along swiftly into the fake elector scheme. He's got 22 different civil lawsuits that he's facing and now he can't even win a single victory against the Pulitzer board. Dang it. Folks. He's having a bad time. Oh. And of course that doesn't even include all the new polls that are showing Ron DeSantis beating him on the national level by double digits. So he's not even technically the Republican front runner anymore for the 20, 24 nods. So folks, yeah. Times are a little tough for all Donny. He's hurting. He's hurting in multiple different ways, ways that you and I could never understand because the world is just so filled with injustice because nobody is listening to him because nobody is taking him seriously because nobody for once in his life is giving into his demands.
