After accusing Trump-supporters of wanting to hurt reporters, ABC went on to claim that Trump hated the media because he hates the truth, on Wednesday’s Good Morning America. Not only that, ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd stated, but Trump hates that that the Constitution protects freedom of the press.
The negative allegations began after anchor George Stephanopoulos gushed that the media was “running out of times to say, ‘we’ve never seen anything like this before from someone in the White House.’” Dowd went on to rant that Trump was “stoking the fires” of “division” with this rhetoric against the media:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Matthew, you’re kind of running out of the times to say we've never seen anything like this before from someone in the White House, from the President of the United States and such a difference from just 24 hours before.
DOWD: Yeah, it's amazing, George. I was reflecting on this last night and this morning at a time in America where we're thirsty for healing and unity, Donald Trump arrived in the desert of Arizona with an overheated rhetoric and damaging divisions in this. It does nothing to help heal the country at this point in time. He's presiding over this and he's only adding to this. Only stoking the fires more and more. That last night was a perfect example of how on the Mondays we see a mirage and on Tuesdays we see the true Donald Trump and what we saw last night I have to say was the real Donald Trump.
Stephanopoulos pointed out that he was in Trump’s line of fire during his speech last night and whined self-righteously, that it seemed to be Trump’s “strategy” to “turn accurate reporting into attacks on him.”
We learned last night that the president watches GMA, he took off on me last night as well as part of his media rant but the thing is, this is not just impulse, this is strategy by the president. He is trying to turn accurate reporting into attacks on him and using that to bind him more closely to his political base.
Dowd agreed, complimenting Stephanopoulos for being attacked by President Trump, saying he was in the rank of the truth-tellers. “What it seems like is that is greatest enemy is the truth. He’s mad when somebody tells the truth,” he stated. “Donald Trump seems to have---he loves the Second Amendment but he seems to have a real problem with the First Amendment,” Dowd added, as a rebuttal to Trump’s claims that the media unfairly reported on his Charlottesville remarks.
Dowd: Trump Hates the Media Because His 'Greatest Enemy Is the Truth'
Hide behind that Amendment, Dowd.
You guys are slandering and libeling him, and making shit up outright.
Y’all can go to hell.
These traitors wrap themselves in the Constitution when convenient and suits them, yet break the laws all the time. Screw them this is war!
The media has been talking non-stop about Trump’s Phoenix speech—He really must have rattled them last night.
I don’t see the FBI breaking down the media’s doors or turning off your cameras, so stick it up your you-know-what, Dowd. You can say whatever you want, and so can Donald Trump, and that IS the First Amendment. You’re just not used to a Republican-affiliated politician who defends himself. This is who we voted for, so get used to it, Jack.
That’s why he writes on twitter so much. Because he hates free speech. Yep.
All bunk ,,,,,, and these bozos think Trump has a mental problem . The whole cast of MSM talking heads severely need mental health attention .
I don’t think the President has as much problem with the First Amendment as he does with the dishonest biased liars of the MSM.
Trump has no problem at all with the First Amendment...He uses it all the time when he slams you lying sacks of excrement in the media...
YOU are the ones who can’t stand the amendment.....
You said it.
See new tagline.
Well you should know by now that liberals like to throw their psychological projection at anyone they disagree with.
I enjoy watching snowflakes melt.

May 1st, 2018 comes and 20,000 people are pushing, clawing, biting and beating each other--all to be the first 1000 in line. Cars are in gridlock across the desert. The sound of car horns are deafening.
Then, suddenly as the world is watching . . . .
The space ship was a bomb. The Liestream Media killed them all, like it is killing America!
You use your 1st amendment rights....and he uses his.
Deal with it, bitch.
Someone needs to watch the DOJ scene in the movie Absence of Malice.....here’s a clip, but it doesn’t get all the way to the part about the responsibility of the press.....

And oh, BTW, you Lying Leftist liars, the 1st Amendment doesn’t protect your lies and defamation. Just a reminder when people start to go after you for your malicious lies.
