Only a matter of time before he starts killing journalists. I've no doubt that he envies that about Putin.

How is there not some form of mental competence test to evaluate the overall current mental health and intelligence of our people in office?

He seems to be going much harder lately on the press and the investigation. Maybe because of midterms and the possible blue wave? Or could we be getting some good news drops soon?

Just could be me I honestly havent been paying attention to any news lately.

The media really only starts wars due to government propaganda. Like, sure the media definitely put the Iraq War in a positive light, but they (along with everyone else) were being lied to by the government on why we were going to war. And in Vietnam the US media were the ones who were essentially responsible for pulling us out of the war.

"Fake news" is not a joke. People saying he's dumb or crazy for using it are wrong. He created a term people can throw out every time their opinions/views are challenged by something or someone in the media. They don't have to give it a second thought. They just say "Oh it's fake news" and move on. Sure you can say they already did this sort of thing but it wasn't fed to them by their president daily to reinforce this impenetrable defense of his actions. It's incredibly dangerous and far reaching and something that his opponents will have to deal with come reelection.

So who is he planning to declare war with? This serms like hed use it as cover for such actions
I believe the idea is to convince people that bowing to Kremlin's every demand is the only way to avoid an all out war. And his swallowers are following it.

Feel bad for (again) quoting this idiot, but as an example:

But Fox is ok, very fine people there. Looking forwards to Hannity's appointment and confirmation as Secretary of Media by President Trump, MAGA!

People's memories are too short. The media is the reason why public opinion turned against the Vietnam war. Dan Rather was on the ground risking his life to show the world what was going on. And what do you know he's still fighting for truth and justice over 40 years later.

Fuck 'men' like Trump that are too stupid and cowardly to deal with reality.

Tomorrow, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is going to stand up in front if the WH press corps and insist with a straight face that when Trump accused the news media of causing wars, he was specifically referring to the role that William Randolph Hearst's media empire played in drumming up support for the Spanish-American War.

He? Why to personally do it when you can whip your MAGAWarrior base into frenzy and have them head to CNN and MSNBC in NYC on your behalf?
I've found the greatawakening crowd somewhat worrying. Lately however there have been more than one first page post condemning violence in the vein of "If you're violent you're not a Q'er" (or whatever they call it), which is encouraging I guess. (And perhaps surprising depending on who is moderating and pulling the strings, let's see if it sticks.)

Is he trying to buffer himself an excuse for something that might happen so he can say it wasn't his fault?

Trump is an asshole, but the press has contributed to the start of wars. Press outlets used unnamed intelligence sources to push the idea there were WMDs in Iraq.

Hearst helped stoke the flames of propaganda against the Spanish to spark the Spanish-American War to the point where the paper took credit for it with much pomp.

Right now, Trump is using this logic to someone how discredit legitimate reporting on his misdeeds. I think the President should be more concerned about the country rather than his own skin.
Those unnamed sources were actually intelligence leaked from the White House. Like, I was there and was in the briefings. They had aerial maps, they had eyes on the ground in Iraq, they had mountains of data. Everyone was convinced Iraq had WMDs because the White House provided the (false) evidence. Can't really blame the press on this one, IMO.

Wat.

@realDonaldTrump
The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it's TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!


@realDonaldTrump
Too bad a large portion of the Media refuses to report the lies and corruption having to do with the Rigged Witch Hunt - but that is why we call them FAKE NEWS!

More so having a bit of spiteful glee at the miscommunication or potential in fighting between Trump, Ivanka, and Melania. Its petty, but that's where we are in today's world.
why should anybody care if melania, ivanka and trump are fighting? they are not a royal family... oh sorry i guess we are on the way towards a trumpian empire.

In other news...


@realDonaldTrump
Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!


the brain power and illusion magic this man must have is amazing

Well they did help sell the lie which was the Iraq war and never apologized for it either. Or if they did could someone post a link.
