Critics of President Donald Trump saw in his Thursday news conference a combative, thin-skinned chief executive who continues to blame the media for the controversies roiling his administration.

And I agree with him.
Yeah baby. GO TRUMP GO
The fake media is part of the swamp. They promote the swamp, they cover for the swamp. They are the swamp.
I cannot spare this man, he fights!
Didn’t Trump say it is the VERY fake media?

You fake news hacks ripped Dubya for six straight years and he never fought back. Then you went right straight years NEVER challenging Valerie Jarrett’s sock puppet.
Now there is a man who won’t take your crap and has been in the media spotlight lo longer than most of you have been working. And you cannot handle that fact.
Yet the MSM doubles down
Stand by knuckleheads

Trump is the greatest American since George Washington. His approval rating rocketed well over 61% today. He nmade a mistake on FLYNN but the mistake was weakness. Today he annihilated weakness1! The press was eviscerated and bleeding profusely!!!God blessed this nation with Donald John Trump!! Thank you Jesus!!
... said the media has a lower approval rating than the Congress. Ha Ha. He’s such a badass.
You got that right. Asspress bootlickers are the biggest liberal toadies on the planet.
Go President Trump, you did well and got the fanatics on the left totally unhinged again
Trumpers are LOVING this ( I know that I sure am ) and there are MORE of us than those against him! :-)
I’ve compared him to the FFs and yes, especially Washington, from day one; and I agree with you!
The traditional news outlets have been, for a few decades now, nothing more than the propaganda arm of the democrat socialists. Trump just told it like it is, without any candy coating.
