The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

(5,943 posts)There's been an uptick in the re-reporting/commenting on the rape allegations we were hearing about during the campaign.

(21,229 posts)Now his attacks are bordering on full fledged insanity. It appears he must be experiencing a maniac episode?

(10,110 posts)How incredibly insane. These are all huge corporately owned and objectively moderate to right leaning. It's his idiotic followers that believe the real fake news. Real fake news? What world am I in?

(12,387 posts)I think he's just being trump, he's going to continue to say this BS.
Native
(5,943 posts)he would have been advised about the article before it was released. Timing is everything. I could be wrong, but it sure does smell delicious.

(19,213 posts)He's an eyelash away from calling in his followers to start shooting media members. I truly believe he is about to cross that line.
We have a maniac in the White House. He's a madman and he's going to do something truly horrible.

Alice11111
(5,730 posts)Guns...so like Hillary, the implications of what he is saying could be interpreted by lunatics, for whom it doesn't often take much to set them off....Plus, it only really takes one looney, but then he will incite the mob. I think he is wanting an incident to scare the press. He's trying to scare the press into submission.
This is exactly a coup...textbook
Johnny2X2X
(19,213 posts)If he's allowed to stay in office he will start arresting the media en masse. We will see this by next year IMO, he must be removed now.
Doreen
(11,686 posts)He must have had to wipe before he could text that.
brettdale
(12,387 posts)But I think Frum is wrong.
I think it's just Trump being an idiot, and no big story is coming.

There is no traction anywhere else.

(12,387 posts)He is now saying he has reread Trumps tweet and thinks
Trump is trying to incite violence.
No big news story.
Native
(5,943 posts)And he did tweet that he'd confirmed a damaging story was in the pipeline.

(17,276 posts)During the campaign season, he could always distract the media with some shiny object or other. Somehow it isn't working anymore...could it be that they are wise to him, and could it be that they have nothing to lose by reporting the serious stuff?

After Trump's tweet declaring them the enemy, it would really be unconscionable for the media to go yuck it up with Trump in formal wear

@RyanLizza
I was on the fence about this, but how can journalists go to WHCA dinner and toast somebody who has branded them an "enemy" of the state?
