Trump blames the media for nearly all of his problems as president(barf Alert)
Washington Post ^ | August 23rd 2017 | Amber Phillips

Posted on 08/24/2017 2:32:51 PM PDT by Ennis85

President Trump stepped on stage in Phoenix on Tuesday night with something clearly eating at him. Minutes into his style rally, we learned what: It wasn't the white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis who threw the nation into chaos and allegedly killed a woman in Virginia last week. Or the intractable 16-year war in Afghanistan that he just announced he's revving up.

It's the media.

Trump spent nearly a third — if not more— of his 90-minute rally rehashing his public remarks in the wake of Charlottesville and complaining that he was widely criticized for them. In fact, about the only time he mentioned the racial tensions and violence stirred up last week was in the context of defending himself.

The president was so frustrated with media coverage of him that he printed out copies of some of the remarks he gave in the wake of the violence. He read them aloud to the crowd, pausing to express total disbelief that the tone of the coverage wasn't more positive.

“I love the people in our country— the people. All of the people,” he said at one point, waving his remarks around. “It says: 'I love all of the people of the country.' I didn't say I love you because you're black, or I love you because you're white, or I love you because you're from Japan or you're from China or you're from Kenya or you're from Scotland or Sweden. I love all the people of our country. By the way folks, this is my exact words. I love all of the people of our country.”

“And then they say: Is he a racist!”

Clearly, Trump's lashing out against Charlottesville coverage was premeditated.

Trump has the Washington Post by the scrotum.

What else can they do but squeal?

The msm should take the majority of the blame but followed closely by the RINOs.

This is classic Alinsky technique. Create a false crisis then blame it on anyone who speaks out against it. I detect an air of frustration as the author knows its not working.

The Media does abuse him.

Along with Meuller and Comey and KKKlapper and most of the Senate and a lsrge majority of the House.

Trump is carrying tons of weight as POTUS. Atlas he is.

Better to blame the media for all America’s problems.

It IS the media, 100%. When B. Hussein was POTUS, the media never paid one scintilla of attention to the white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis. Now according to the media, they are all over the place. In only 8 months they want us to believe they've multiplied their ranks by millions, they are all over the place causing violence and killing people. Why is the media doing this? Solely to tie them to Trump so he can be classified as racist. Even when he denounces them the media still insists they are connected to him at the hip. The media is willingly and knowingly create chaos and violence solely to harm the President.

President Trump is exactly correct in blaming them and he certainly is not alone. Millions of Americans blame them, as well.

MSM are 5th columnists for the Marxist/Islamic terror against America.

No, this is the MSM blaming Trump for their problems. Trump is doing a great job, although nobody is fond of being slandered, and nobody punches back like Trump when he is, this is quite different then acknowledging any failures. Rather he always seems to keep a positive outlook that he will succeed. Over and over again he does point out the media is dishonest and severely biased against him and the Right--but that is simple demonstrable fact. The recent Harvard study and numerous studies from NewsBusters.org have demonstrated this scientifically. And of course we are all awash in it in our personal experience.

What is really going on is the MSM is losing credibility more and more and more. Trump, similar to Milo and other lightning rods are calling out their BS head on and enraging them into exposing how utterly vapid they are.

He would be right. I blame the media for most of what is wrong with this country. It’s the media that enables every evil and freakish initiative that wrecks western civilization. The Soros/World Bank controlled media IS the enemy.

The media have been trying to stage a coup against Trump since day one. They are the enemies of representative democracy, trying to disenfranchise us, the people that voted for Trump. They deserve every bit of scorn they get and worse.

Their motto is-— “democracy dies in darkness”

It should be—”democracy dies when the media thinks they should choose the president, not the voters.”

The Fake News crowd keeps spewing out the same Fake News and pretty soon the Fake News crowd will start believing their own Fake News!

How do you like them apples you morons in the Fake News business.

BTW, we actually know how much $$$ you make as Fake News reporters and it is way beyond your pay grade.
