Unhinged: Trump calls media enemy of American people
Even Trumpkins with at least one working brain cell has to think this is idiotic, no?
If you don't, you ought to go a month without paying attention to any of it. I'd bet anything you can't honestly do it.
Donald Trump Calls The Media ‘The Enemy Of The American People’
The president is again lashing out at the press.
President Donald Trump vilified the press again Friday, tweeting that the media are “the enemy of the American people” and specifically calling out several major news organizations.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!
1:48 PM - 17 Feb 2017
Earlier, Trump tweeted and then quickly deleted a slightly different version of the tweet. The revised version includes mentions of ABC and CBS in addition to the other news outlets. All of these outlets have reported on significant controversies involving Trump and his administration, including claims that his team communicated with Russian officials throughout the presidential campaign.
The White House didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
Trump’s tweet drew swift criticism from reporters:
Chuck Todd ✔ @chucktodd
I would hope that our leaders would never believe that any American desires to make another American an enemy. Let's dial it back.
Trump’s tweet came one day after he spent a major chunk of a meandering 77-minute press conference disparaging the press. He called the media “out of control” and “dishonest.” He also blamed what he called the “fake media” for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s resignation, claiming reporters treated the former general “very unfairly.”
He also frequently attacks publications on his Twitter account and has claimed that polls showing negative ratings for him are “fake news.”
