Donald Trump tweets media is the ‘enemy of the American people’

President Trump had another one of his Twitter temper tantrums on Friday, taking to the social network platform to once again attack journalists and the media, calling specific outlets out by name and declaring them to be “the enemy of the American people”.

About an hour ago, Donald Trump published a tweet, which he deleted soon after. Now in office, he went even further, blaming the media for all but sinking his not-yet-launched attempt to “make a deal” with Moscow.

Listing his achievements Trump said his approval rating was at 55 per cent and going up, that the stock market had hit record numbers and that there had been a “tremendous surge of optimism in the business world”.

Pres. Trump trashed the liberal media Thursday – and not just for fabricating “fake news”. The survey formalised Trump’s attacks and his insinuation that media outlets are working against the American people.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump tweeted many provocative thoughts and insulted many groups.

Bernstein said the president’s language “may be more insidious and risky than Richard Nixon’s attacks on the press”.

Conservative commentator Limbaugh did say that it was “one of the most effective press conferences I’ve ever seen”. Trump’s administration, including White House press secretary Sean Spicer, has lashed out against the press organisations on multiple occasions for showing Trump in a bad light.

‘I turn on the TV, open the newspapers, and I see stories of chaos, ‘ Trump told reporters. Jake Tapper called it “unhinged”, which Colbert dismissed as “fake news“, but then he played the reaction at Fox News, and it wasn’t much more hinged.

Trump first used the term “fake news” on Twitter on December 10. I’m just telling you, you know, you’re dishonest people.

Asked repeatedly if his campaign aides were in contact with Russian officials during the 2016 election campaign, Trump dodged the questions, saying only, “I had nothing to do with it”.

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert took Trump to task over his claim that he “inherited a mess” from Barack Obama.

Alexander: “I guess the question is: Why should Americans trust you when you accuse the information they receive as being fake, when you’re providing information that is not accurate?”
