Just read the story of Bump’s interview on the Noam Dworman podcast regarding the Hunter/Joe Biden money scandal. Looks like Bump may have also been on the track team at Ohio State, owing to the speed with which he raced out of that interview.
Philip, you peddle a lot of bunk. Shame your left side is so scuffed from leaning too much and close to the ground in that direction. The meanderings that you offer as journalism scream of inadequacies and ferret-like analysis. You represent a waste of my time and wonder what you had to do to get this published. Am very unhappy with The Post who stooped so low to provide you a forum for your pap.
Why is there such a big gap in his employment from 2002 to 2012? Not sure what gives a Philosophy major that from looks at it, got his first job due to his white privilege in Silicon Valley for which it appears there is NO experience.
I am just curious, what did Bump do for 10 years? I don’t follow or give two craps about what he writes or who he writes for, just saw an article today he wrote about Gen. Powell and vaccine, looked him up, and thought, “you know this guy and his editor lie throughout the entire column, he must have some serious gravitas.” I was highly disappointed.
MR Bump may I call you a moron…oh I just did
I agree wholeheartedly! What a hack of ignorant low intelligence
Thanks for the info and so glad we have an active President striving to do so much to Make America Great Again!!
If you are being sincere and not sarcastic, Duke, I am totally on board with you. But while I would never resort to using insults it does appear that “Forrest Bump” is afraid of revealing his lack of formal training or is literally a Propaganda Puppet of The Left (i.e.: not a REAL journalist). Left Leaning, Joe and Hunter supporting, he might want to consider giving his wife (China) a nickname so it is not so obvious, especially since she works “as at” Tribeca.
It would be interesting the “Team” who compiled this information. It is lacking in many crucial facts and details. And several comments are more like a promotional piece than a real report. But since there is so little information about Bump, it was a nice start. Thanks.
Idiot!
Did your dad grow up im Fairfax, VA because I think I may have known him? There was a kid im my neighborhood mear Fairfax High School who went to St. Stephen’s Episcopal school and hung out with a guy named Jom Trout and John Keith. I never knew his real name because everyone just called him “Bump” (your last name) We all hung out im am an open field called Rust Field. Also sorry, I have some broken computer keys. Just curious.
Thank You.
Will Mr Bump be apologizing to Robert Cahaly since it looked like he called the states much closer again in 2020 than anything coming out of p bump’s piehole.
Phillip Bump’s analytical skills are adequate.
William, I think you are too, too kind and flattering to Bump’s skills. That shows what a nicer person you are than he is.
