Yes, he said he had problems with it before the election, and that he wasn’t going to change his opinion just because worked out in his favor this time.
Like everyone said, “He’s not a Conservative.” After Donald J. Trump finishes doing all the things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until they stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all the “conservative” issues that need to be addressed.
Great. Post.
I think Trump needs, after he's been inaugurated, to sit down and have a chat with America one evening about the media. He needs to re-educate people. It would go something like this.
"America, we have experienced over the past 16 years (actually a lot longer, folks, a lot longer) a medium that calls itself news but is so partisan it fits the definition of propaganda. All the main newspapers and tv news shows and channels, rather than reporting their best version of truth, spent 8 years attacking President Bush. Then they spent the following 8 years fawning over President Obama. We've seen in the last two years, during this presidential campaign, the same obvious bias so clearly.
"A biased media does our country no favors. News should be as close to the truth as smart investigators can find. We do have freedom of the press in this country, and that is a wonderful thing. And that means that news organizations are free to engage in partisan propaganda. Fine, we can accept that. Yet, if we as a nation seek the truth (and we do, don't we folks?), we must have somewhere to turn to actually learn the truth.
"Which is why my administration has decided to give media members who demonstrate a strong effort to report the truth neutrally (no one is perfectly neutral, right? We don't expect perfection. We all do have opinions that can be difficult to hide) greater access to our goings on at the White House. We know that my presidency is only a start. All future presidencies and the American public gain from a robust, free press and lose from a partisan court of jesters.
"We welcome media from around the world every day, and will continue to. But American sources of the press have fallen behind their international peers in reporting the truth. (I got more accurate information during the election from the U.K. Daily Mail than from our greatest newspapers here! This can't happen, folks!). The only influence a leader of a country can have on his press is to reward honesty with access, and that is what will happen. It is my greatest hope that this will encourage more honest news reaching our hard working American people who don't have time to read seven sources and filter out the bias."
What a great list!
