Трамп обрушился с критикой на C-SPAN после репортажа о влиянии Национальной гвардии на преступность

The TV channel C-Span is watched mainly by a small audience of wonky types who are interested in the details of government and public affairs. Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN /ˈsiːˌspæn/ SEE-span) is an American cable and satellite television network, created in 1979 by the cable television industry as a nonprofit public service. It televises proceedings of the United States federal government and other public affairs programming. C-SPAN is a private, nonprofit organization funded by its cable and satellite affiliates. It does not have advertisements on any of its television networks or radio stations. However their official website has banner advertisements, and streamed videos also have advertisements. The network operates independently; the cable industry and the U.S. Congress have no control over its programming content. Since it mainly passively shows public events, it rarely creates any controversy. But at 9:25 a.m. ET Monday on its program Washington Journal, it had a representative from the Center for American Progress (an organization that supports Democrats) discuss an analysis that found that Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to American cities, a move that was widely criticized, had no effect on crime rates in those cities. Trump went ballistic, writing on his Truth Social site: “The report is just another Radical Left SCAM, as are the people who fund this gaggle of Lunatics, including George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, Google, Apple, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, WellsFargo, Bank of America, Walmart, Toyota, T-Mobile, and NBC Universal. Foreign support includes the Embassy of Japan, the Korea Foundation, Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (Taiwan), and the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates … These people, and others like them, are so bad for our Country. Their stated course is anything to hate or demean ‘TRUMP.’” While this is a typical Trump rant, there are two things of interest. One is that the list of Trump enemies contains some surprising members, consisting as it does of corporate behemoths, those whom Trump considers friends and allies. And how did the Japan, Taiwan, and Korean embassies enter into this list? The second interesting thing is where Trump finds the time to follow fairly obscure programs like this one on C-SPAN. It was on a Monday morning when you would think he would be doing presidential stuff. But it appears that his official calendar has big chunks of time carved out for what are referred to as “Executive Time”. That is probably code for him to take naps or watch TV or doomscroll.
