RUSH: Now, here\u2019s the Trump tweet, and this is classic, because the media did not get that Trump was making a joke, which is what makes this funny. This may be one of the funniest tweets you\u2019ve ever heard. Let me read it to you. “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,\u2019 when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?\u2019 Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend — and maybe someday that will happen!”<\/p>\n

Now, the left and the media are melting. “President shouldn\u2019t talk like this. Presidents shouldn\u2019t be insulting foreign leaders like this. This isn\u2019t how it\u2019s done. This isn\u2019t presidential. This isn\u2019t the proper decorum.”<\/p>\n
So it establishes once again these people don\u2019t have a sense of humor. They literally cannot sense humor. It just doesn\u2019t occur to them. But their hatred, their willful hatred of Trump is so visceral that they\u2019re incapable of seeing satire or parody. I mean, this is hilarious. He just called Kim Jong-un short and fat, while denying that he ever did it. It\u2019s hilarious and they\u2019re all just beside themselves about this.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know this tweet that Trump sent out about Kim Jong-un and the media reaction to it? I\u2019ve used this description before. You know, you get this laser pointer and you play with a cat. If you have a cat, you can drive the cat nuts with the laser pointer. The cat can never figure it out. Some people think it\u2019s cruel if you just keep doing it. The cat will continue to try to chase it, it will paw it, and it will try to catch it. As long as you do it, the cat… Now, my cat eventually will wear out for a while.<\/p>\n
But if I come back in two or three hours it\u2019s like I\u2019ve never done it and the cat goes bonkers. And if I slowly point that laser up the wall, the cat will try to swat it off the wall. One day, I put the pointer on one of the dogs. (chuckle) That was fun. Anyway, I think that is how Trump deals with the media. I think it\u2019s equivalent to that. I\u2019ve made this point before. These Trump tweets, Trump speeches, they\u2019re like the laser pointer to a cat. Trump drives these people insane — primarily with his tweets — and they can\u2019t nail him down.<\/p>\n
They can\u2019t pin him down. They can\u2019t figure it out. All they do is react in ways that demonstrate they are the ones who don\u2019t get it. This tweet, “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,\u2019 when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat\u2019? Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend — and maybe someday that will happen!” You know, what\u2019s going on? Here\u2019s what the media hasn\u2019t picked up on, I don\u2019t think. Now, maybe I\u2019m wrong about this. But I think we\u2019ve reached a point here — and there will be exceptions to this where I will be shown to be wrong.<\/p>\n

But I think we live in an age where more and more of the general population of the country recognize now that the Drive-By Media is basically a shill for the Democrat Party. And if they don\u2019t think that, they are still arriving at the conclusion that the media is not balanced, and it isn\u2019t fair, and it isn\u2019t unbiased. I really believe more and more people are waking up to this. Now, there are a number of reasons for it, but not the least of which is the media itself.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard. This past year — 13, 14 months now — it\u2019s hard to miss that there is outright hatred for Donald Trump on the part of the media. I think this has caused people to notice it more now than they ever have. Plus, there is social media that more and more people are shown examples of this stuff, in addition to the 25-30 years that we\u2019ve been pointing this stuff out. I think we\u2019re reaching this point. Now, we\u2019re nowhere near overcoming it, and I don\u2019t want anybody to misunderstand.<\/p>\n
