Trump unloads on media in post-Mueller tweets
The Hill ^ | 04/23/19 | Jordan Fabian

President Trump unloaded on the news media in a series of tweets Tuesday morning, claiming he faces an unprecedented level of criticism in The New York Times, as well as on CNN and MSNBC.

Trump wrote that the coverage of his presidency shows the “totally insane” media is conspiring with “the Radical Left Democrats” to hurt his chances of reelection.

“In the ‘old days’ if you were President and you had a good economy, you were basically immune from criticism,” Trump wrote. “Remember, ‘It’s the economy stupid.’ Today I have, as President, perhaps the greatest economy in history...and to the Mainstream Media, it means NOTHING. But it will!”

The president’s outburst came as he has groused for days about the coverage of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation, which did not charge Trump with crimes but painted an unflattering picture of the inner workings of the White House and detailed Moscow’s efforts to help Trump’s 2016 campaign.

The contents of the full report have muddled Trump’s claim that it was a “complete and total exoneration” and breathed new life into the debate over whether congressional Democrats should impeach him.

Tuesday morning’s tweets did not directly reference the Mueller report, but Trump’s sense of grievance against the media over its coverage ran through them as a common thread.

A growing economy means nothing to people who want their ‘student debt’ erased.

THAT’S what the Liberals will be campaigning on... for sure

The Liberal Moms and Dads who have borrowed like crazy, want OFF THE HOOK!! And they don’t care HOW!

This creates a huge new group of people who are responsive to vote buying... at OUR expense. Pandering is the only way for the Liberals to secure votes.

Love POTUS’s tweetstorms, but nothing means anything until AG Bill Barr starts indicting the truly guilty Deep State Swamp RATS!!!

There has been amply evidence put forth, especially over conservative media, and time is of the essence.

We the people of this Republic must see a lengthy perp walk asap. Where to begin???

Crooked Hillary.
Obama. (& Biden)
Comey.
Strzok & Page.
McCabe.
Clapper.
Brennan.
Lynch
Yates.
any several more, to be sure!!!

Gee, I wonder why he has a grievance against the media.

Hmmmm.

Now that he is liberated from the jumping monkeys who made up the Mueller Team, he is free to speak his mind. He was always free, but he is a gentleman and didn’t want to interfere with that Freak Circus.

what everyone seems to forget is that Mueller and his handpicked pack of Trump-hating Clintonites are the ones who wrote this report. That should automatically cast doubt on everything negative they say about Trump or those who work for him. At the same time, the no collusion conclusion should be given double the weight, because you know that they tried their best to find collusion but didn’t
