President Trump teed off on the news media in a bizarre Twitter rant Thursday morning ahead of a big social media summit at the White House slated for later in the day.
The string of tweets attacked the news media and claimed the industry would go out of business when he leaves office, even suggesting outlets would be forced to endorse him this cycle for the sake of their own survival.
He went on to alternately praise himself, lob insults at familiar targets in the 2020 Democratic field and even joke about serving more than two terms.
“The White House will be hosting a very big and very important Social Media Summit today. Would I have become President without Social Media? Yes (probably)! At its conclusion, we will all go to the beautiful Rose Garden for a News Conference on the Census and Citizenship.” Trump began. “A big subject today at the White House Social Media Summit will be the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies. We will not let them get away with it much longer. The Fake News Media will also be there, but for a limited period.”
He continued: “The Fake News is not as important, or as powerful, as Social Media. They have lost tremendous credibility since that day in November, 2016, that I came down the escalator with the person who was to become your future First Lady,” Trump tweeted. (The president apparently confused his dates, as the escalator ride he referenced happened in June 2015 when he announced his presidential bid.)

“We do conclude,” the opinion said, “that the First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise‐open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees.”
Will they decide the same when a Dem is in office?...................
Kinda nasty and sarcastic article from Fox.
Fox News throws in opinion word “tirade”? Is Uni Party Paul Ryan on the board now or something?
Note how CNN is in a death spiral after the Mueller Report showed no Russia collusion and CNN spending two years lying about the non existent collusion.
“bizarre tirade”
Are phrases like that necessary to get establishment credibility? Why use them?
Read it, nothing bizarre in it except how FOX reported it.
FOX has been consumed by the evil.
.
FOX reinvented for your reading displeasure.
When news has moved from news to opinion:
Words like “bizarre” and “rant” are used.
and opinion word “bizarre”???
AOC has now been sued by someone over the same thing. :D
“bizarre”
Nope. No bias there.
bizarre tirade = Trump’s telling the truth again ...
(The president apparently confused his dates, as the escalator ride he referenced happened in June 2015 when he announced his presidential bid.)
See? He LIED! He LIED! < /RAT mantra >
“A big subject today at the White House Social Media Summit will be the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies.”
There's your problem right there, lady...
The truth hurts and with only 6 companies massaging what to say he poked them square in the eye with his comments. Fox is a Murdoch member and a well concealed part of the cabal and as truth no longer fits their situation as it gets more desperate all the stops are being pulled out.
Game On!
Bravo I say!
Wow, how Bizarre. Like most Americans, Trump despises the media. Who knew?
I hope Trump decides to endorse something like GAB, and makes a big splash about it.
