Trump ignores backlash in ongoing feud with the media

President Trump continued his blitz against major U.S. media outlets on Saturday, despite the wave of backlash that followed his particularly personal attack on a female MSNBC host this week.

Trump's very public duel with MSNBC's "Morning Joe," taking place over the course of several days this week, earned bipartisan pushback and frustration from some in his party who felt the back-and-forth distracted from the GOP legislative push to reform healthcare.

But on Saturday, Trump signaled that for him the battle is far from over. He also expanded his media targets.

The morning salvos began with Trump leveling an accusation that NBC and its parent company Comcast had forced out MSNBC anchor Greta Van Susteren this week in retribution for her alleged refusal to go along with what he has deemed negative coverage of him and his administration.

He's fixated on this. Good, then he's not doing something more damaging.

upon the grave of his So-Called Presiduncy, one stupid tweet at a time. and, yes, luckily this keeps him busy from actually fucking everything up more than it is. or talking to foreign leaders.
