By MARK LANDLERAPRIL 29, 2017
HARRISBURG, Pa. President Trump came to a farm expo center here on Saturday to celebrate his first 100 days in office by bathing in the support of his bedrock supporters, reprising the populist themes of his campaign and savaging a familiar foe: the news media.
In a rally timed to coincide with an annual dinner of the White House press corps in Washington, which he declined to attend, Mr. Trump laced into what he referred to as the failing New York Times, as well as CNN and MSNBC, which he accused of incompetence and dishonesty.
Their priorities are not my priorities, and not your priorities, Mr. Trump said to a sea of supporters, many in familiar red Make America Great Again caps. If the medias job is to be honest and tell the truth, the media deserves a very, very big fat failing grade, he said, adding that they were very dishonest people.
Mr. Trump reveled in his decision to skip the White House Correspondents Association dinner, describing a scene in which Hollywood stars and reporters consoled themselves in a Washington hotel ballroom, while he mixed with a better class of people in the American heartland.

(22,037 posts)Donald Trump telling the world who is honest and who isn't.
His hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Earlier, I read a Washington Post item that stated that since taking office, he has lied every few hours.
Trump is an idiot.

(17,863 posts)and walk out of the area immediately. They should coordinate this the next time Trump calls them out. That would become the news story.
Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)Did they actually print this shit in their rag? Did the Washington Post write a similar story?
Did either the NYT or the WP include a disclaimer that most everything this President says is a lie, that what he was saying to the people yesterday was a lie, that he is presently under investigation by the FBI for collusion with the Russians to throw the election?
Because all of the above is provable and would tend to mitigate the vomitworthy lovefest that I'm reading above.
