HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - President Donald Trump attacked the media on Friday afternoon, accusing reporters of inciting violence just one week after a series of explosive devices were mailed to critics of the president, as well as one media outlet.
“You know what, you’re creating violence by your question. You are creating. You," Trump said at the White House as he left for a campaign rally, pointing to a reporter who said some had suggested the president's rhetoric could be encouraging violence. "...The fake news is creating violence."
“I'll tell you what, if the media would write correctly and write accurately and write fairly, you’d have a lot less violence in the country,” he added.
The president on Friday also appeared to back away from his comment the day before that troops along the U.S.-Mexico border might shoot at immigrants approaching the border under some circumstances, saying then that “when they throw rocks like they did at the Mexico military and police, I say, consider it a rifle."
On Friday, he said soldiers "won't have to fire."
If anyone were to throw rocks at troops, "they're gonna be arrested, there's gonna be problems," he said. "I didn't say 'shoot.' But they do that with us, they're gonna be arrested for a long time."
Trump reiterated his intention to terminate the constitutionally provided right to birthright citizenship through an executive order, despite question surrounding the legality of such a move. “The Supreme Court will determine that,” he said.

I love this man!
Trump owns the media.
The media despises Trump and they are corrupt and they divide. Once again Trump is correct and the oblivious and non-self aware media just keeps providing fake biased anti-Trump reports.
The FACTS bear this out, something like 90% of reports are negative, it’s the proverbial smoking gun.
That will give the MSM something to discuss on Sunday. Of course, they’ll all be outraged.
And as usual, the Trumpster is right.
The dumpster divers are wrong.
Must really suck to be a journalist.
True. He leads them around like a puppy.
That looks like me when I see tacos!
The Ministry of Propaganda’s mission is to eradicate truth.
Trump is making it so hard to do.
I cannot spare this man. He fights.

Gee, did the POTUS ever use the word “shoot”? Of course not.
I needed a new link for that. Thanks.
Link swiped!
Not so much creating it but covering for them...?
I break away from Fox News every time they show a My Pillow commercial. I can’t tolerate that dude with the cheesy mustache.
President Trump is right and I will continue to back him 110%.
There is no way to catch a rock thrower. The are part of the caravan and how are we going to charge to catch without serious injury to our military. Shoot is the only way.
