Trump ‘wrestles’ with CNN
Taylor added that most Americans don’t think Trump is “inciting violence from a [WWE] clip”, and he called for news networks to focus on the “real issues”.
It comes a day after Mr Trump defended his use of social media and branded his tweets “modern day presidential”.
“This has to stop – we all have a job – three branches of government and media”.
“I am thinking about changing the name #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNewsCNN!” he mentioned in a series of tweets.
If there were two things President Trump knew how to do well, it’s tweet and get under the skin of the folks at CNN.
The video appeared to be posted on Reddit four days prior to Mr. Trump’s early morning tweet, in a sub-Reddit thread called “The Donald”.
Trump’s been stepping up verbal attacks on the media – and cable networks particularly.
For instance, Montana Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte body-slammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs to the floor and broke his glasses – all because Jacobs dared to ask the then-candidate a simple question.
The group noted that Trump’s video was released just weeks after Representative Greg Gianforte of Montana was recorded assaulting Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian, a day before Gianforte won his congressional seat. Where are you from?
“Yeah, I don’t think he’s a strategic thinker”, O’Brien said.
Trump made public statements last Thursday that the co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, Mina Brzezinski, was bleeding from a face lift last winter at a New Year’s Eve party held at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. The quote is dated June 29.
In February, Trump called the press a disgrace, false and awful. “We are already concerned about physical attacks on reporters and clearly the White House’s charged rhetoric online undermines the media in the USA and emboldens autocratic leaders around the world”.
In 2016, after Trump’s tape leaked, former People writer Natasha Stoynoff accused him of sexual assault and harassment.
“Take a look, you take a look”. Number two, “Some will think it’s amusing, but I find it in poor taste”. “I don’t think so”, he said during an event in West Palm Beach. The post of President demands a certain level of seriousness, intellect, and a vast array of personality traits that Trump seems to lack as his statements are childish and his recent behavior at the climate conference was considered patently absurd and met with strong resistance and criticism from the fractions of America, itself.
Speaking during a rally in Washington on Saturday, Trump said the “fake” media was trying to silence his administration.
