Trump supporters cheer his combative stance with the media
Associated Press ^ | Feb 16, 2017 8:57 PM EST | John Raby

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.

His supporters saw something else: A champion of Middle America who is taking on the establishment and making good on his campaign promises to put the country first. […]

Richelle Kirk of Logan, West Virginia, watched some of Trump’s news conference on Thursday and didn’t see any head-scratching comments from the president. “I back him 100 percent,” said the 42-year-old stay-at-home mom. “You either love it or get out, is my opinion.”

During Barack Obama’s presidency, her husband was laid off from his coal-mining job, a loss they blamed on Obama’s environmental policies. She said they lost a home and “everything we owned.” …

Media blame Trump for being thin skin because he respond to media lies about him. How about media stop being so thin skinned by whining about it

Wonderful riposte!

The traditional news outlets have been, for a few decades now, nothing more than the propaganda arm of the democrat socialists.

The real evil of the "arm" is that it is perfectly seamless, there is no telling where one stops and the other begins. Trump exposed them brilliantly!

Yes for sure. I don’t like weakness. Not today. He was awesome. He made a mistake on Flynn and he knows it. I want that transcript.Every damned word and then I want prison for those traitors that sent it to our enemies.

I watched most of it. He was very calm, thoughts well organized, and POINT ON. He gave push back with the truth. I loved it. He’s just doing to them what they’ve done to us. They hate it.

Fox Business seems somewhat sane. Seems like Fox itself, though, is careening into insignificance and a more liberal tone.

I have been as serious as DEATH...from day one and you know it.

Like the FFs, he has given his all ( money, time, family, business, reputation, ALL !) for this nation and her populace. He's unafraid, a fighter, a principled leader; someone this nation had needed for an extremely long time!

All of those, trying to bring him down, want to bring down this nation...destroy it. And anyone who can't/refuses to see this, is nothing but a damned TRAITOR !

Actually, he said that he has a new name for CNN, when Jim Acosta was trying to one up him. “Very Fake News”.. it was epic... And talk about bias.. “Thin-skinned” president. I certainly dont think he is thin skinned. He is just playing the gottcha games the media loves to do and then they retreat behind the “First Amendment”. Its called “Reporting”, guys, not putting your own negative and biased opinions in and so great that he called them on it. Watched 90% of the presser and it was AWESOME!! and this coming from a former reluctant Trump supporter.

He called it too.. That he was very calm, not aggressive but the headlines the next day would be “ranting and raving”.. and while the press conference was going on, CNN’s headlines was “ranting and raving” or something to that effect. He was measured and actually seemed to have a lot of fun doing it.
