President Trump: Reporters Have No “Sources”

“The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security “leakers” that have permeated our government for a long time”. The president bashed the agency stating that it “can’t even find the leakers within the Federal Bureau of Investigation itself”.

In what sounded like a rousing campaign speech, Pence called his boss, President Trump, a man of “conviction, vision and courage” and said Trump is already delivering on the promises he made to the American people during the campaign.

US President Donald Trump today asserted that he is only against ‘fake news’ media and not press freedom.

“I’ve beaten many people and companies and I’ve won many wars”, Trump said. “There are some great reporters around”. There are no nine people.

“I wouldn’t miss a chance to talk to my friends – these are my friends. They’re not coming back in, folks”, Trump said of those people deported under his new, stricter guidelines on illegal immigration. “Let there be no more anonymous sources”, he said. No one will dare question as they have been because we’re very depleted, very, very depleted.

“Oh, we’re going to build a wall, don’t worry about it”.

Trump went on to explain that he isn’t against the press but wants the media to report fairly.

Mr Trump: America also said America will “get off welfare”.

Some analysts said Trump’s constant attacks on the press are created to undermine the public’s faith in institutions in general and the media in particular, as well as to generate doubt about negative stories regarding the administration.

For example, Trump tweeted in August 2012: “An “extremely credible source” has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud”.

“This is really where he got his launch, you know, with his ideas in the conservative movement”, Bannon said. “The ‘fake news.’ They dropped off the word ‘fake.’ And all of a sudden the story became the media is the enemy”.

Cool, Donny – why don’t you take the lead on that?

“They make up sources”.

President Donald Trump told conservative activists he’s planning a massive tax cut for the middle class, lashed out at the use of anonymous sources and signed an executive order aimed at reducing federal regulations. Let their name be put out there. According to a March 6, 2016, survey, 52 percent of self-identified conservatives said they had a favorable view of candidate Trump. We need a free press. We have to fight it.

The president added that while news outlets point to protections under the First Amendment, those same protections apply to critics of “their dishonest coverage”.

Mr Trump said the press used the First Amendment to defend its reporting.

But while most Republicans use CPAC speeches as a rallying cry against Democrats, Trump reserved a huge portion of his speech – the entire first half hour of a fifty minute address – to attacking the media as the opposition party, a theme that has emerged from White House officials over the course of the CPAC conference.

“The First Amendment gives Americans the right to criticize fake news, too”. I hate you especially. “They have their own agenda”.
