Trump just pretended the G7 leaders wanted to know why the media "hates" America
BY NATALIE DICKINSON
PUBLISHED ON AUGUST 25, 2019
President Trump has spent the majority of his Sunday railing against the media for their accurate reporting of his negative polling and continued to do so well into the afternoon, taking time out of the negotiations at the G7 to tweet a preposterous and obviously fake lie about what his fellow world leaders:
. . .
It goes without saying that there is no way anyone at the G7 asked Trump this. In fact, they likely think America is a much worse off than it was four years, thanks to the stunning incompetence and reckless behavior of President Trump.
What this really tells us is the presidents insecurity and worry about the economic instability that his unnecessary trade wars with China are reaching dangerous new heights, as is his frustration with the medias pesky insistence on reporting the facts and not simply lying to the world to soothe the presidents ego.
This is just the latest in a string of tweets attacking the media today. He even lashed out at his beloved FOX News this morning for accurately reporting on his sinking poll numbers while touting the notoriously biased Rasmussen polling to make himself feel better.

just give him some Legos and cardboard boxes so he could occupy himself with all the make believe he wants to.
Maybe some milk and cookies...nooo...Coke and Micky D's, if he is real, real good? The kid's meal still has a toy, doesn't it?
I bet they did, but he is not telling.
