Trump on New York Times: 'The intent is so evil and so bad'

“There’s a difference," Trump said. "The fake media is the enemy of the American people. There’s tremendous fake media out there. Tremendous fake stories. The problem is the people that aren’t involved in the story don’t know that.”

The fact that many news organizations reported that he had condemned the media in general only proved his point, Trump said.

"I didn’t say the media is the enemy — I said the ‘fake media,'" the president explained. "They take the word fake out and all of a sudden it’s like I’m against — there are some great reporters like you. I know some great honorable reporters who do a great job like Steve [Holland] from Reuters, others, many others. I wasn’t talking about that. I was talking about the 'fake media,' where they make up everything there is to make up."

Trump has included some of the country's most widely-consumed and well-respected news organizations in his definition of "fake media." All three major television networks (NBC, ABC and CBS), CNN, MSNBC and The Washington Post are among the outlets Trump has slapped the label on.

1. Well, there you have it.

He has now established that the internet is evil and bad. Next step for our safety will be to strictly monitor our use. Kind of like Russia...Oh gee, what a coincidence.

9. Trump has a limited vocabulary, but he sure can twist his own words!

[bravenak]

2. He is fucking dumb

[Docreed2003]

3. How far will we allow this tyrant to take us down the rabbit hole??

I hope and pray it's well before we land into autocracy! This type of language and parsing of words, this asshole has gotten away with this for far too long. "Oh I didn't say this or that because fake news wants to make me look bad"..."Grab her by the pussy is just locker room talk"...."I never insulted a handicapped reporter"..."I'm no sexist" even though his words condemn him....

I'm so fucking tired of this asshole skating on the bullshit he's spewing. It's gone on for far too long. No...this guy has insulted gold star families and POWs, he's made obvious sexist statements, he's clearly a bigot based off of his campaign and prior history! It's far passed time to start calling this guy out for his bullshit.

He's survived for years by being the abusive husband to the media. That trend continues today when any media outlet that covers the Russian connections is banned from WH briefings! But...but...as he said at CPAC..."No one love the 1st amendment more".

When will our country wake up and realize that we are being controlled by the ultimate domestic abuser!!???

8. WE are at the mercy of WE

Long before 45 the "conservative movement" had programmed 1/3 of the country to believe up is down, and down is up, and had wore down another 1/3 to think "they are both the same."

It never should have gotten remotely close enough to elect this POS, but even now, their 1/3 remains steadfastly in their alternative reality.

Sadly, we can only hope the "middle" 1/3 wakeso the fuck up pdq.

18. you know my only wish

for this man/child is something I can't post but I hope it happens soon.

[Phoenix61]

20. He loves the First Amendment when it allows him to spew his hate filled speech

Not so much when it allows the media to report what he spewed and comment on it. Like trying to reason with a child.

[Fred Sanders]

21. You are correct. The free speech hate speech propelled him into power, but now that he is in

power he likes any free speech criticizing him not so much.

Meanwhile he believes Fox, Breitbart and Infowars are NOT fake news and vile hate speech purveyors? SAD!

[0rganism]

25. guess we'll find out in 2018

sorry but i think we're going to discover that this rabbit hole goes all the way down to the bedrock

[safeinOhio]

4. I wonder what he would call

Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward? Enemy of the people?

[truthisfreedom]

5. With ever-shifting arbitrary judgement, the goebbeldy-gook word shit-salad-shooter says anything

to avoid being buried under an avalanche of his own fuck-tonnery of lies.

[TeamPooka]

6. We have an evil President. Pure fucking evil. nt

[joshdawg]

7. drumpf only listens or watches fake news

spewed forth by fox or breitbart or............. ad nauseum.

fox is fake news and any sane person will tell you that.

[Hortensis]

10. What, Fox doesn't make his list of honor?

[WePurrsevere]

11. Deflection, Projection and Lies... this is what the guilty, like Trump Corp, do.

The more he and his Republican cronies point fingers and never take personal responsibility the more people aren't buying it because the old Bard quip, "doth protest too much" and the "if you're innocent why are you trying so very hard to hide things" suspicion that creeps in is embedded in our subconscious.

12. The ravings of a mad man.

What a humiliation for this nation. And what a danger.

[KingCharlemagne]

13. Our very own Drunk Uncle-in-Chief - nt

[Nitram]

14. Make up your mind, Dump. Is it evil or is it just bad?

[EarthFirst]

15. The musings of a stark raving lunatic!

So are we to expect another assault to Net Neutrality in the coming weeks?

This administration is hell bent on controlling all aspects of a free thought society...

[world wide wally]

16. In case you didn't know...

America is the laughing stock of planet Earth

[bdamomma]

17. the only fake and evil

is you mr. tRump.

[FiveGoodMen]

23. His followers are pretty damned evil!

They see what's going on and like it.

Indeed, they feel freed to open up about their own pet hatreds.

We'd be a lot better off if Trump was the only evil we needed to conquer.

[byronius]

19. 'Steve from Reuters' just lost all credibility. Must be squirming.

Maybe Breitbart will hire him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. They're picking on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. The irony is I see this thread next to "Trump ordering review of Obama rule protecting small streams

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141715832

and it's pretty obvious that the Trump regime is intent on evil, ie poisoning the environment (and people?) for the sake of profit. And Trump just tries to divert attention with the name-calling of the media.
