Trump tweets: The media is the 'enemy of the American people'
90 replies, posted
It's been over an hour now, Guriosity. How did I know you'd run away with your tail between your legs yet again? You never face an argument when you're backed into an intellectual corner, do you? Until you learn to change that, you'll never truly grow up.
This is the same sort of thing I've seen from Trump supporters all over this forum - they can't actually defend his positions, or their own. They make a lot of noise, but when they're asked to deliver, they run away.
Supposedly Trump took down the initial Tweet and put it back up 10 minutes later adding CBS and ABC to the list. I guess it can sometimes be hard remembering the enemies of America.
Trump will be remembered as the first best president since Washington, will win 8 terms and have his blessed body mummified in a giant pickle jar that will replace lady liberty's torch for all future generations to come to see. God Bless America!

His dying act will be to demand that Lady Liberty's torch be grafted onto his preserved body, in place of his manhood.
I'm still waiting for Trump to make a government ran news site.

The really insane thing is that you're mocking his post. What else do you call someone who says that the media is the fucking enemy of the people?
Technically the media outlets had major fuckups that are truly unforgivable, so his "fake media" calls are true.
However, Trump is catering and supporting the media that support him fully - he is trying to make it one-sided.
It would be okay if he called everything fake, because it is.
The journalists only care about the !breaking news! title.
Edit:
[QUOTE=Lambeth;51840542]Media fucking up does not in any way mean that it is fake[/QUOTE]
Except when they're trying to push a news post about a tweet, whilst the tweet has been submitted by a fake account etc.
And all of that.
Trying very hard to get clicks on their articles seems fake to me.
I'm sorry.

Any respectable outlet first confirms the tweet first, before publishing anything. And if they do make a mistake, and respectable outlet will retract and amend their mistakes.
Clickbait outlets like Gawker don't make up the entire media. I get the feeling your confusing The New York Times with The Daily Mail.

Hello I don't see Fox winning any awards for being paragons of media integrity.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;51838760]This is the argument I hear against Trump being fascist: "He hasn't censored the press or broken through checks and balances, therefore it's dumb to call him Hitler."[/QUOTE]
Somehow openly saying that any houses that criticize him are fake news isn't enough for those people on the checks and balances front? what about those executive orders that he keeps trying to hammer through and his battles against the SCOTUS?
Sometimes I swear people are ignorant as fuck lmao
This caught my eye in the last press conference-
[QUOTE]It’s so important to the public to get an honest press. The press—the public doesn’t believe you people anymore. Now, maybe I had something to do with that. I don’t know. But they don’t believe you.[/QUOTE]
Fascism is inevitable now.
There'll probably be a major civil disturbance or terrorist attack before the year is over that will be used as a prerogative for going full authoritarian.
I've never really felt like I'm living in a troubling time; but now I am coming to sense that I do.
Post September 11 Iraq/Iran wars, and the the furthermore anti-terrorism operations, combined with Russia in Georgia ('04) and Crimea ('14), combined with the right wing gaining traction in a large number of European sovereignties and the UK referendum to remove themselves from the EU.. It really seems like the next year or few will be pivotal in regard to international affairs.
only reason he hasnt banned media its because it would be shot down fast, so he sticks with just smearing them hard
Doesnt have to ban anything and deal with constitutional courts if he can just get people to not believe the media

No please don't. He's great at leaking information that would otherwise not be released

Because he hasn't yet overturned the SCOTUS is why he's not fascist

I am really scared about our current time because things have progressed beyond left vs right, liberal vs conservative, Democrats vs Republican. Donald Trump is shaking the foundation of our democracy. I'm terrified of all his talk about pushing questionably unconstitutional executive orders, bypassing the Legislative Branch and ignoring the Judicial Branch; and delegitimizing the media in favor of his words -- effectively, state run media. Donald Trump will be the ultimate test of he Constitution.
If Pence or anyone else were in power, I wouldn't be having these fears. It'd be just back to Republicans trying to screw the common man over; but Trump is screwing the foundation of the country over.

He doesn't care. You replied, that's his entire goal.

Didn't he fire the acting attorney general for questioning the legality of his travel ban?

Attorney General informs the President what he is trying to do is unconstitutional.
President fires Attorney General.
Federal courts find what the President is doing is unconstitutional and block it.
We're dealing with toddlers in suits. :suicide:
