Trump calls for firing of TWO MSNBC stars for ‘disgraceful’ on-air feedback

Donald Trump has dramatically declared that Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow and should be forced to resign for their comments about a teenage cancer survivor.

The Republican made the statement Thursday from the Oval Office, two days after Wallace and Maddow’s remarks about 13-year-old Devarjaye DJ Daniel.

Trump had honored Daniel hours before, by making him an honorary member of the Secret Service. The boy – whose dream is to be a police office – was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2018. He has since defied the odds and survived.

It was a sweet moment that should have unified politicians and pundits, no matter their beliefs – but the pair proceeded to politicize the occasion, framing it as a form of propaganda from the president.

There have been growing calls for the pundits’ firing since, with figures like Meghan McCain and Karoline Leavitt joining that chorus of voices.

The led Trump to finally weigh in, as he fielded questions from White House reporters.

‘Worse channel CNN is MSDNC,’ he said, using his nickname for the Comcast-owned cable network. ‘[It] is the worst.’ 

After taking a shot at the network’s flailing ratings, he turned to Wallace – who publicly pondered whether Daniel would kill himself like members of law enforcement did after January 6  on Tuesday – and then Maddow.

‘Frankly, what Nicolle Wallace said – I’ve never been a fan of hers, and she’s not very talented – but I’ll tell you, what she said the other day about that young man, is disgraceful. 

‘She should be forced to resign. 

‘And Rachel Maddow should be forced to resign – nobody watches her anyway,’ he added, after the host branded hyim ‘disgusting’ for shining a light on DJ’s more than six-year battle.  

‘The good news is that no one watches them anymore – they have lost such credibility,’ he said, before taking another shot at Maddow, who rakes in a reported $5million a year.

‘It’s not possible they pay her as much money as I hear,’ Trump said. ‘But certainly, she has lost all credibility. 

‘Both of them,’ he continued.

‘What they said the other day, both of them… about that young person.

‘They should be forced to resign.’

Daniel, meanwhile, was held up by his father during the ceremony -where he received his badge from Director Sean Curran and Republicans in the House gallery chanted ‘DJ.’

‘He has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,’ Trump said. ‘But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer.’

‘The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.’

‘And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all.’

Democrats then went silent as Trump discussed his health policies. 

One Republican shouted, ‘MAHA baby!’

DJ had undergone 13 surgeries by the time he was 12 as he battles a rare brain and spine cancer with no cure.

He is trying to get sworn in to as many law enforcement agencies as possible as he and his family try to raise awareness about his condition.

Trump said during his speech that driving down childhood cancer rates and studying autism cases in the US will be a top priority for his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Childhood cancer remains rare in the US, with about 15,000 children diagnosed with the disease every year.

Cases of pediatric cancer have risen in recent years, but treatments have improved, leading to a decline in deaths from the disease.

‘Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons out of our food supply and keep our children healthy and strong,’ he said.
