After spending the morning tweeting about how the “Fake News is working overtime,” President Donald Trump acknowledged that not all media is “fake” during a discussion about the Republican tax reform plan with CEOs at the White House on Tuesday afternoon.

“All of you have done a tremendous job mobilizing members and talking to the members of Congress, which is very important and making a strong case for tax reform in the media,” he said. “The media is not all fake, therefore, we can get a fair shake.”

He said members of his cabinet would be traveling around the country while he’s in Asia next week, talking directly to taxpayers about the new plan and giving interviews to local media, which Trump apparently prefers over national news outlets.

Cabinet officials will be “focusing on the regional media, which we find to be a much more credible media to be honest with you. In fact, I found it to be incredible how good they are,” he said.

1. "Focusing on regional media, which we find more credulous to be honest with you"

In fact, I found it to be incredible how gullible they are"

There, I fixed it.

2. Still going to Asia next week, is he?

Seems like a known flight risk. But maybe Trump won't come back at all, hide out in some foreign embassy or other that will give him sanctuary, and we can fast forward to getting rid of Pence.
