The president's latest Twitter attacks on the media come hours after he revealed he met with A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times. Trump claimed the two discussed Trump's belief that the media has become the "enemy of the people."
The meeting took place on July 20 and had been off the record, The New York Times said in a statement. However, once Trump acknowledged the meeting took place, Sulzberger issued a statement saying he had warned Trump about the danger of his rhetoric toward reporters.
"I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence," Sulzberger said.
"I warned that it was putting lives at risk, that it was undermining the democratic ideals of our nation, and that it was eroding one of our country’s greatest exports: a commitment to free speech and a free press," he added.

According to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House banned a specific reporter because it expects "everyone to be respectful of the presidency and guests at the White House.”
So apparently its unpatriotic to report on what the government's doing because it's doing a bad job at what it's doing and reporters should expect to be removed from the press pool if they 'are not respectful of the Presidency' -- where respect apparently includes reporting on any mistakes or errors the Presidential Admin. makes.
Starting to sound an awful lot like 'If you're not for Trump, you're against America - and that makes you an enemy of America'. Really, I can't bring myself to interpret it any other way. He met with this man who told him that if he keeps this up people will get hurt and his immediate reaction is to not just keep it up but to ramp up his rhetoric. How long until he literally gets up on a podium and yells 'If you're not with me, you're against America' to thunderous applause?
Lmao
The media acts as an unwritten forth branch of the government. It's a vital part of keeping it in check and transparent.
Regardless of how awful the media may be, government affairs are reported on and it's a very good thing.
"90% of media coverage of my Administration is negative, despite the tremendously positive results we are achieving, it’s no surprise that confidence in the media is at an all time low!" Trump tweeted
Good, they should be.
Trump claimed the two discussed Trump's belief that the media has become the "enemy of the people."
Not, Trump, you’re the enemy of the people. Get fucking bent.
Donald Trump is a traitor and enemy of the United States, I really don't think it's possible for someone to be less patriotic than him.
Oh shut the fuck up you useless failure. You only feel that way as most of them tell the whole about what happens rather than just repeating " Donny is a good boy, Donny did good". You never seem to feel that way when they are covering anyone else.

What the fuck is this on about.
and his tribal followers will still keep their stupid hats and keep believing the media is the enemy
Did he just refer to himself in third person?
Or could have just got a flunky to write it for him. It’s honestly a 50/50 given how deficient in the brains he is.
Nothing new, he does that in tons of his fucking tweets.
Something good must be coming out really soon if he's getting all hot and flustered again.
Well, Manafort's trial does begin on Tuesday.
Mueller's not even eligible to be director again, iirc. FBI directors only get a single 10 year term, and Mueller served 12 years due to an extension by Obama.
I'd trust government policy written by a collective opinion formed via the aggregate of all major news networks before I trust anything the current admin says so uhh, idk here.
