President Donald Trump hopped onto Twitter Friday morning to fight back against media criticism, suggesting his surrogates cannot be accurate all the time because he is an "active president."

In a series of tweets, Trump said the "fake media is working overtime today" and wondered if he should cancel all future press briefings in the name of accuracy. Trump is taking criticism for conflicting narratives coming out of the White House over the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.

He later tweeted that Comey should hope there were no tapes of their private conversations "before he starts leaking to the press."

"The Fake Media is working overtime today!"

"As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!…."

"…Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???"

"James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"

He should. The media just gets the info and then blatantly lies about it. Trump should just extend his weekly address to 30 minutes, and briefly explain all current issues. Done.

Meaning: There are tapes..................

[rusureitflies?]

Absolutely! Why let the enemy into your house. They’re just out to mock you up. Go Trump. Media sucks.

[bigbob]

He should tell the Dishonest Media: “OK, here’s what we’re going to do. When there is something urgent or important to tell you about, we will issue printed press releases. Since every one will be identical this makes it impossible for you to misconstrue or misinterpret what you are being told. Otherwise, you can follow me on Twitter if you’d like to know what I have too say”.

Telling the press to GFY is not an impeachable offfense.

They can tape the press briefings and transmit to the MSM but put a copyright on all materiels.

...”He should. The media just gets the info and then blatantly lies about it. Trump should just extend his weekly address to 30 minutes, and briefly explain all current issues. Done.”...

Sounds good to me.

Why does President Trump tweet like a teen girl? He needs to have his iPhone taken away and just concentrate on building a wall, deporting, getting rid of obongo care and draining the swamp. That’s all

EXACTLY

I would much rather have CBS tell me what he said than President Trump telling me himself.

[brucedickinson]

I’m saying there is no reason to pay any attention to the marxist Vaudeville perverts. Just get in with life because they will never respect you or your opinion. Waste of breath

[Luke21]

Yeah, why listen to Trump when we can watch CNN.

"He should. The media just gets the info and then blatantly lies about it. Trump should just extend his weekly address to 30 minutes, and briefly explain all current issues. Done."

The elite mediots, who control BBC, ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the Ny/LA Slimes, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza are not needed when President Trump wants to speak to his 62+ million voters/us.

He Tweets us, sends his contributors emails and controls the White House digital system. He bypasses the left wing lying mediots, when he communicates directly with us.

Neither President Trump, nor his 62+ million voters need nor do we want BBC, ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the Ny/LA Slime, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza Times trying to tell us what our president is telling us. We know it, without their twisting and word games.

We don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us. There is zero filtering, adjusting and lying to us when Trump talks to us directly!

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter or the Whitehouse.com is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians, Never Trumpsters and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle “Trump’s Twitter feed which traumatizes Washington and his enemies.

Good stuff Grampa Dave.

Keep it up. Lurkers everywhere and new ones daily.

[HarleyLady27]

Good Job Grampa!!!

[SamAdams76]

Yes, I think Trump should give up Twitter and hire somebody like George Stephanopolis to speak for him. Somebody who can sanitize the message for our sensitive ears. Because we are used to that and we want to go back to binge watching television sitcoms. This is the best way to go. I’m going to get myself a big steak to put on the grill tonight and I’m going to give a piece of that steak to a deserving neighborhood dog. Because dogs are good and dogs like to eat steak. Just like I like to eat steak.

[RoseofTexas]

YES!!!! Do it !!! No MORE TALK!!..but ACTION!

President Trump must stop tweeting! The voice of the GOPe has spoken!

Trump won the election because of his tweets and is now defeating the propaganda of the MSM but you, genius that you are, want him to stop.

[brucedickinson]

he needs to bypass the news freaks completely and not give them the time of day. They are wastes of his breath. There is work to be done and the country is in dire need of attention. The media/Hollywood crowd who our only pay attention to President Trump if he walked around with a wig and spun plates on sticks like in the Vaudeville days. I don’t know who controls the media/Hollywood but they sure don’t like Trump, or White people for that matter.
