President Trump on Sunday unleashed a tirade against the media in which he called reporters "unpatriotic" for reporting on the inner workings of the government.

In a series of tweets, the president singled out The New York Times and The Washington Post for writing "bad stories" about his administration, which he amounted to "[selling] out" the country.

"90% of media coverage of my Administration is negative, despite the tremendously positive results we are achieving, it’s no surprise that confidence in the media is at an all time low!" Trump tweeted.

"I will not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-Trump haters in the dying newspaper industry," he added. "No matter how much they try to distract and cover it up, our country is making great progress under my leadership and I will never stop fighting for the American people!"

3. So...the press should just pump sunshine all the time where Trump is concerned?

Even when there's none to pump?

[Golden Raisin]

9. That's Fox's job.

[Fred Sanders]

22. And what Trump demanded from the beginning

from every "news organization", remember?

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Egads. 10 tweets in 2 hours? Trump must feel the wheels coming off his wagon.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. People living in a demented mind see

a different reality than the rest of us. This is now accelerating. Crises ahead. Put up your mud flaps.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Somewhere in Heaven,

Jack Anderson, Nat Henthoff, Jimmy Breslin, and Wayne Barrett are laughing their asses off.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Does the Orange Moron know what country we're in?

[C_U_L8R]

10. What a whiner.

So weak.

[NastyRiffraff]

11. "I will not allow..."

"I will not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-Trump haters in the dying newspaper industry," he added. "No matter how much they try to distract and cover it up, our country is making great progress under my leadership and I will never stop fighting for the American people!"

What does he intend to do about it? He's showing more and more obvious signs of authoritarianism.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. "never stop fighting for the American people!" by selling out to Russia

[edbermac]

14. "Woodstein!"

[keithbvadu2]

[ashling]

16. "I will never stop fighting for the American people!"

Well...


you will have to start

before you can stop

[SWBTATTReg]

17. What an idiot...blah blah blah...

When will you realize that you've lost the audience? You have cried wolf too many times and it's too late by now for anyone to take you seriously any longer.

You did the damage yourself, no one else to blame (but I'm sure you will try and find someone to blame...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Did he get stoned during civics class?

Or did they even teach civics in that so called military prep school he attended?

[truthisfreedom]

20. His parents sent him to military school for this behavior.

He didn’t get the cure. He should have received electroshock therapy.

[SergeStorms]

21. More of a military...

reform school. Father Fred knew Little Donnie was a lying, cheating, entitled little jerk-off. A chip right off the old blockhead.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Nope!

Just not very bright!

[SeattleVet]

28. 90% of media coverage of my Administration is negative...

well, DUH, DumbDonnie!

But you have to realize that it's only because well over 99% of what your mis-administration does is flat out wrong or totally batshit crazy, so a 90% negative rate on stories really means that there's got to be at least 9% that's falling through the cracks or getting lost in the deluge of the even worse stuff that *does* get reported.

[0rganism]

29. the more he Queegs the more people will want him gone

and he's in a full-on rolling Queeg right now...

[area51]

30. F-ing projection.

"[selling] out" the country; that's exactly what Trump is doing.

[duforsure]

31. What's unpatriotic is

A president who attacks our free press because they won't lie for him. A President who attacks the Democratic institutions for personal gains, and what's really unpatriotic is a President who lies to the American people like this one does. His slogan even is a lie when he threatens to hurt millions of Americans with a government shutdown. He's no patriot to this country , especially when he shows his loyalty to putin over this country. He's a fraud.

[Mc Mike]

33. 'Unpatriotic' for reporting on the gov's inner workings.

I'd take his blubbering more seriously if his team wasn't demanding classified FISA docs to protect him, & holding public hearings to attack our counterintel people. And if he didn't bring russkies into the Oval Office, and hand over intel that he 'declassified' to them.

Someone's selling out the country and being very unpatriotic. He thinks he's making it so difficult to figure out who it is, with his constant projective whiny gibbering.

[Firestorm49]

34. Exit Door

Hey, Trump, if you can’t take the stress of the job, you know, the press reporting on your ridiculous reign as King of the USA, then do us all a favor and QUIT THE FUCKING JOB!
