As with so much about President Trump, his Phoenix rally on Tuesday night was two contradictory things: both shocking and completely predictable.
Shocking because it was the most sustained attack any president has made on the news media.
And predictable because this is exactly what Trump does when he’s in trouble. He finds an enemy and punches as hard as he can.
Make no mistake, he is in trouble. With a special prosecutor breathing down his neck and even once-loyal Breitbart News turning on him, Trump is, according to one new poll, at the lowest point of his presidency.
Never one to examine his own conscience, or look for self-improvement, Trump apparently consulted his tried-and-true playbook.
“Go for the jugular,” Trump advised in his 2009 book “Think Big.”
Aggressive as Tuesday night’s attack was, it had more than a whiff of desperation about it.
After all, there was no dishonesty in the mainstream media coverage of Trump’s initial “on many sides” reaction to Charlottesville, which has had such dire political consequences for him, in addition to financial repercussions, as groups withdraw from planned events at his resorts.

The MFM can suffer humility only so much. Once they’ve reached their limit, they tend to become a nasty image of themselves. Give them a couple of butt pads to soothe their bruises and send them on their way. They are not needed any longer.
Must be a real pisser to be semi-alive and finding yourself extinct but never missed.
Can’t access the article without a subscription........Yea, I actually tried to read what was posted.

This media person is projecting as media routinely does. I see them as fearful and frantic to do the job they are paid to do. Destroy Pres Trump however they can. Pres Trump will survive them all. Pres Trump will continue to gather ever larger voter support as he fights on for the citizens of this country. He will remain in office eight years and America will be in better shape than it has been since Ronald Reagan was our leader.
Trump is fearless

Dear Donald,
Are you at all worried that Amazon is reaching monopoly status, and that its owner, one Jeff Bezos, is using his economic might to influence and control public opinion?
It's a wonder that he can even get back up to take another hit!
Honestly I don’t know which is funnier! This insane writing that passes for insight, or your vid which the punk richly deserved!
If the Washington Post wasn’t, or isn’t running scared, this wouldn’t have seen the light of day.
The washington pest commits crimes against nature each day. That even one sick sapling i9s murdered to provide newsprint to these idiots IS a crime against nature. I laugh at their flaccid thinking. They soooooo delusional to think that anyone with a brain cares what they say about anything. Hahaha.
THE CLAPPER. “Clap on...clap off”
It’s now more than JUST a venereal disease.
Copy the title of the article to Google. You can bypass the paywall.
Nah. He’s pointing out lies & distortions. And you still refuse to hear.
What a stupid reporter!
Trump is the only politician in DC that appears to be un-afraid.
WAPO has nervous diarrhea.
Washington ComPost. ComPosting as usual.
