President Trump teed off on the news media in a bizarre Twitter rant Thursday morning ahead of a big social media summit at the White House slated for later in the day.
The string of tweets attacked the news media and claimed the industry would go out of business when he leaves office, even suggesting outlets would be forced to endorse him this cycle for the sake of their own survival.
He went on to alternately praise himself, lob insults at familiar targets in the 2020 Democratic field and even joke about serving more than two terms.
The White House will be hosting a very big and very important Social Media Summit today. Would I have become President without Social Media? Yes (probably)! At its conclusion, we will all go to the beautiful Rose Garden for a News Conference on the Census and Citizenship. Trump began. A big subject today at the White House Social Media Summit will be the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies. We will not let them get away with it much longer. The Fake News Media will also be there, but for a limited period.
He continued: The Fake News is not as important, or as powerful, as Social Media. They have lost tremendous credibility since that day in November, 2016, that I came down the escalator with the person who was to become your future First Lady, Trump tweeted. (The president apparently confused his dates, as the escalator ride he referenced happened in June 2015 when he announced his presidential bid.)

Whenever Faux News pulls this garbage, I wish Trump would Tweet some kind of props for OANN...
I can’t believe that I once defended Fox News when it was called Faux by the left. I owe libtards an apology.

Oh pleeze, GFY.
We knew what he meant...
Yup. Fox News hates Trump. Has since he got the primary.
The New York Times can continue in perpetuity because the voting shares are controlled by the family and close family friends. It can continue to lose readers and money seemingly with no end.
Government isn’t an industry and sure as hell shouldn’t be a profession.
As Shannon Breem interviewed Conchita Sarnoff, Faux flashed a picture of Epstein and Trump at least three times, although the context was entirely about Epstein and Clinton.
