Trump Calls Media 'Real Enemy of the People' While Revealing 'Second Meeting' With Putin

Amid widespread blowback this week over his comments relating to the summit in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump is declaring the meeting a success, and going on the warpath against the media — which he’s labeling “the real enemy of the people.”

In a Thursday morning tweet, the president suggested that another meeting is forthcoming.

“The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media,” Trump wrote. “I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear……..”

….proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more. There are many answers, some easy and some hard, to these problems…but they can ALL be solved!

1. OMG

He’s turning over the keys to our country in plain sight. He needs to be dragged out of the White House in cuffs. How much longer can this go on???

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. "in plain sight"

I was thinking about why they are so brazen about their treason, (its not just Trump involved) and I am taken back to The Big Lie. Whether it was Hitler himself that said that or not, that if the lie is big enough they will believe it. I think that tactic has worked over and over since. It is a phenomenon that we still have no defense for. It has worked for invading Iraq as one example. Some might use 9/11 as another, not so much in the carrying out but in the look the other way department. But many people believe the official explanation because the alternative is unthinkable to them.

The Big Lie has been modified and expanded to the idea of just brazenly selling out the country in plain view. That the same principle of The Big Lie is intact - if its all done in public then it couldn't possibly be treason, that would be unthinkable that a sitting President and his party would think they could get away with that. So even the MSM will bumble around the truth on the ground and allow Trump's press minions to further spread the narrative and the faux outrage at being called out for what they really are.

2. When is he going to bring his buddy right into the white house and give him the reins

to the kingdom? It sure isn't a republic or a democracy anymore.

[CountAllVotes]

3. Who hates America?

None more than a spy/double agent.

Been saying this from day #1 of this dangerous administration!

Wake the hell up and DUMP TRUMP!

[Bleacher Creature]

4. A sitting President just called the media the enemy of the people, in juxtaposition with Putin.

How is that NOT the last straw?????

[bucolic_frolic]

5. The night is darkest before dawn

This is now an APB 10 alarm intelligence community inferno. It's like Mrs. O'Leary's cow has roused Paul Revere.

[MBS]

14. This feels right. All fingers crossed.

If it feels like an "APB 10 alarm intelligence community inferno" to me (and has been for the last 2 1/2 years), I can only imagine what it must feel like to the intelligence community. For people like Clapper, Hayden, and Brennan to openly express alarm, and for people like Comey, a Republican, to openly urge voters to vote for Democrats in November, is all the validation I need that we are in an extraordinary, and exceptionally dangerous moment. I will hold onto the "darkest before dawn" metaphor to keep that ray of hope alive.

[2naSalit]

30. Absolutely!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Russia is not interested in security for Israel. Trade means dropping sanctions. . . . nt

[vlyons]

7. It will go on as long as the GOP controls congress

Putin dangled the prospect of trump being a great billionaire oligarch in exchange for lifting the sanctions on Putin's bank accounts and not interfering with Russia invading the Baltic states.

[MBS]

8. A curveball a minute with the Orange Vulgarity.

Mueller, please hurry.
Republicans in Congress, please grow a spine or conscience, preferably both. (Not holding my breath).

[PatrickforO]

9. I'll be calling both my US Senators and my Representative tomorrow morning

on this. I called them all on Monday and wrote both Senators a nice long letter yesterday. I'm done keeping my letters short. There's too much shit that needs to be taken care of so I went issue by issue, beginning with impeachment.

[MBS]

15. . Thank you! Hopefully, those letters will be taken more seriously, too. n/t

[snort]

10. Looks like his lovey numbers are way down what with the Twit purge.

[EleanorR]

11. Fascist nt

[dalton99a]

12. Because Once Is Not Enough

[world wide wally]

13. Strange how he uses Russian phrasing to make his points.

I think "enemy of the people" was first used by Stalin

[Archae]

27. it was more effective in countires controlled by German Nazis.

"Lugenpresse," the standard excuse given by Goebbels when the press brought up concentration camps.

[jpak]

16. Security for Israel?

Be afraid Israel.

Be afraid.

[Girard442]

17. I once read an article that explained that people cheating on their relationship partners...

...usually became mean and abusive toward them. The reasoning being:

1. Only bad people willingly cheat on their partners.

2. I'm not a bad person.

3. Therefore S/he must be a bad person who drove me to it.

4. S/he being a bad person, deserves to be treated like one.

Trump, by this logic, has to end up hating America, because no one, not even a sociopath, wants to see themselves as a traitor and saboteur.

[Bayard]

18. IMPEACH! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!!!

No more pussy footing around it, this has to become everyone's mantra now. Including our people in Congress.

Thoughts and prayers will not save us now. The peasants must rise up!

My senators are McConnell and Paul, but I have to try. At least I get a live person in my Congressman's office.

[Bayard]

20. Called Rep. Brett Gutherie and Rand Paul's offices just now

Always get a polite live body in Gutherie's, but the first time for Paul's office. Actually, the guy in Paul's office wanted specifics on why I thought tRump should be impeached. I said, I know it has to start in the House, but the senator has got to take a stand on what's best for this country. The scary thing is that he could immediately pull up my physical address. We get mail at a POB.

McConnell's line is always, "experiencing high call volume", no matter what time of day or night you call. I will email, and get the same canned response.

IMPEACH!

[Mc Mike]

19. Yeah, it's not Putin, but the media that's the enemy of America.

Cause they keep reporting on how Putin and I attack America, together.


Also, no collusion, no puppet. You're the puppet!

[blue-wave]

22. It is time

for our intelligence community to sit down with the republicon congress critters and have a little talk with them, asking "Who wants to be tried for treason and who doesn't?" Put the fear of God in them so we can start to right this ship.

[2naSalit]

31. I like that idea!

ETA: Actually, put the fear of prison and/or death on 'em.

[orangecrush]

23. To the streets.

NOW!

[area51]

24. If the CIA has a copy of the "pee tape",

they need to release it now.

[oberliner]

25. He is saying they discussed Ukraine?

What was the content of that discussion?

[Anon-C]

26. These tweets are coded communications!

[duforsure]

28. Its not the media

Its the truth that he hates because it exposes his lies . So anyone reporting the truth he hates it because it undermines all his and putins propaganda. You can't con people with the truth.

[LanternWaste]

29. I honestly and sincerely wonder how the common record of Trump's presidency...

...will be read in twenty years. What the objective academic and the historians and the political scientists will produce as their eventual conclusion on his time in office.

Two more years of his buffoonery, his constant embarrassments to the country, his petulance, his lies, his assault upon the very people that voted him in.

Only two more years. I have the patience... but may not have the discipline.
