'Totally dishonest': Trump asserts only he can be trusted over opponents and 'fake news'

Last edited Fri Aug 31, 2018, 03:13 PM - Edit history (1)

Over roughly the past day, President Trump has decried the “totally dishonest” media, with its “fake news” and “fake books.” He has argued that Google is biased against conservatives. And he has accused NBC News of “fudging” the tape of an interview with him that has been available online for more than a year.

The president has even declared there is no chaos in his White House, which he claimed is a “ ‘smooth running machine’ with changing parts,” despite the tumult that emanates almost daily from within its walls.

Trump’s assertions — all on Twitter, some false, some without clear evidence — come just over nine weeks before the midterm elections that could help determine his fate, and they are bound by one unifying theme: All of his perceived opponents are peddling false facts and only Trump can be trusted.

The president and his supporters are under siege, the tweets imply, from pernicious forces conspiring against them.

For putin now, and trying to pr this to con more people into believing his BS, and lies. Indictments of some people really close to him probably going to happen very soon, and he's scared to death he'll be exposed more, and will , and a lot more people will turn on him, and if they haven't already , they will knowing he would on them if given the chance.
