Trump to the Media: ‘The Public Doesn’t Believe You People Anymore’
“The tone is such hatred”, Trump said. I have no loans in Russian Federation. Just take a look, take a look at some of your shows in the morning and the evening.
I won’t try to tackle whether that is a good or bad thing for democracy – or our culture – in this space today. “I mean, they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people that our representatives are representing”. I don’t have any connection with Russian Federation. The media were the ones who didn’t report that Hillary Clinton got all the debate questions in advance. Hillary Clinton. That was a reset. With the stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of jerks’.
And that was before he even took a single question! He said, “Russia is fake news”. “I said, ‘do me a favor, go back and check the family tree, ‘” he said.
‘Every country takes advantage of us, almost. You know what uranium is, right? This thing called nuclear weapons, and other things.
Then, Trump turned to the dangers of a nuclear confrontation. Fox & Friends in the morning, they are very honorable people. There’s no up-side’. The company has mines, mills and tracts of land in Wyoming, Utah and other USA states equal to about 20 percent of US uranium production capacity. I have been briefed.
Earlier, he said: “Many of our nation’s reporters will not tell you the truth”.
Trump indicated that he has a successor for Flynn lined up. “If you were straight and really told it like it is….” How many times do I have to answer this question? I can’t believe I’m saying I’m a politician, but I guess that’s what I am now’. Trump then launched into a vigorous defense of his presidency, declaring that: “We have made incredible progress”.
“We’re not going to let it happen. Everybody knows it. We’re waiting for approval”. I’m preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare’. But you know what? “Actually I’ve seen that information around”.
‘They’re a very powerful nuclear country and so are we. When asked later about the falsehood, Trump said: “I don’t know, I was given that information”.
Trump doesn’t think Putin is asserting himself with that ship. ‘Not good, ‘ he said. Some see the circumstances of Flynn’s resignation as evidence of a widespread conspiracy within the community to undermine the administration.
It’s also one that will nearly certainly succeed in changing the subject from Russian Federation and Mike Flynn.
“Donald Trump understands that with the media world fragmented, people have gone into the echo chambers, and the way to keep your base intact is to go into your echo chambers and deliver the messages”, Purdue University political scientist Josh Scacco said about Trump’s obsession with news.
And if there were any problems in getting his own agencies up to speed, he said, that was the fault of the Democrats in the Senate, who have objected to most of his Cabinet appointments, including Andy Puzder, Trump’s initial pick for labor secretary, who withdrew Wednesday.
