Trump blasts 'hostile and corrupt media,' says he has accomplished more than any other president

Source: The Hill



BY AVERY ANAPOL - 03/10/19 08:21 AM EDT

President Trump on Sunday blasted the media as the “most hostile and corrupt” in "the history of American politics."

The also president touted a number of his accomplishments in a tweet, saying that he has accomplished more than any other administration despite negative media coverage.






Trump regularly denounces negative coverage of his administration as “fake news."

His latest tweets come two days after the Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy added 20,000 jobs in February, far below the 180,000 estimate from analysts.

And criminal we've ever had in the White House . All while he's desperately trying to undermine our Democracy, and rule of law. His projections of success when he's failing miserably at everything , like the recent results from a poll of world leaders , where President Obama was at 48% the highest , and now under trump its only 30-31% and we're looked upon as not favorable in any way by other countries around the world now. That's not the media's fault, its the truth , and what hurts him the most. He can't force them to only praise him , and he's upset. When someone chooses to promote propaganda over the truth , this is what it looks like now.

He and his supporters would likely say that millions of babies have been born since he entered the White House. They would claim he deserves the credit because no one wanted to have babies when President Obama was in office. They would say very few people had babies during the Obama Administration. Donald Trump would tell you of the million of people who came up to him during and after the election telling him that they were not going to have children if Hillary Clinton was elected, but now that he has been elected they have had a child and will be having many more beautiful babies.

Yes
More corruption
More lies
More destruction cabinet positions.
More “working” with adversaries
More alienating of our trusted allies
More golf time than any other sitting president
More corrupt over reach - oh, like security clearances
More destruction of environmental safeguards
More tax evasion than any past president
More money laundering.
Blah, blah, blah. This could go on for a day.

Yes, he’s the new hero of the Republican Party, and so goes America.

Could it be because there are more people in the US than anytime in history.

Lowest unemployment? Not even close.

Biggest tax and regulations cut & judges? Don't get me started.

The economy is not better than when Obama was president. Trump bitched about Obama not getting 3% GDP. Well Trump is not getting 3% either and the business forecast is saying growth will be lower in the coming year.

If you look at all the economic trends since he took office, and leave out the casino that is Wall Street, they’ve either maintained the upward momentum they had when Trump was in office, or they’ve slowed down slightly.

So the point is, Trump could have done absolutely nothing and gotten the same results...but the somethings he did put the economy in a very precarious position, and it was reasonably stable before he arrived. What Trump really did was fix something that wasn’t broken.

putting kids in cages. America is about must more than a collection of transient stats selected for bragging rights. We are a country that has had unwavering ethical standards that once made us an honest broker amount the nations of the world. We were the respected envoys and our model of state governance was the envy of many aspiring democracies.

At one time we could righteously oppose governments who engaged in war crimes and torture, but then we let Bush join that hellish club and we hung out head in shame.

Now we have this ignorant Trump in office and in our name he has committed crimes against humanity and targets people based on their religion, ethnicity, party affiliation, sex and gender, and net worth. We poured ashes on our head while the world reacted with a mix of howling outrage and fingerpointing laughter.

The media didn't drag us down this dark ally, Republicans did, had now they are lifting our collective skirts to finish our subjugation and humiliation.

I dont believe any other president to date has so effectively isolated the US from its historic allies, passed classified intelligence to our international opponents, directly participated in as much corruption, or done as much to weaken the country, so I guess he has done "more" than most presidents.
