For Trump, the media is vital. He only...and ONLY needs to be in caps denounces the media when they are not complimenting him.

I have been saying about this man for a long long time. He is not an honest man...the media knows that and all of his, and heck even posters on here, trash any media that does not compliment.

He rails against what he calls "fake news" which is defined totally and very specifically, ONLY news that does not compliment him.

He then uses what he calls "fake news" to rebut other items.

This is the President of the United States, and he needs to be trusted, and he is not...and therein is the problem.

He speaks on Tuesday night, and why in the world would anyone believe him?



The press is everything to Donald Trump, from interior décor — his Trump Tower office was plastered wall to wall with framed magazine covers reflecting his face back at him like an infinity mirror — to daily reading. For decades every morning, he had his assistant print out a sheaf of stories published about him and keep a store of videotapes for ego gratification. Once Trump became a Twitter addict, this morphed into an incestuous, vertiginous spiral, as he got upset and shot back against news reports he did not like.

His campaign staff “cracked the code for tamping down his most inflammatory tweets,” Tara Palmeri reported in Politico last week, by ensuring “his personal media consumption includes a steady stream of praise. And when no such praise was to be found, staff would turn to friendly outlets to drum some up — and make sure it made its way to Trump’s desk.”

Talk about fake news.

He is the biggest story on the planet, “King Lear meets Rodney Dangerfield,” as Lloyd Grove tweeted after Trump’s recent press conference. As our new president is well aware, he’s a rainmaker and a troublemaker for media.
