‘The fake media is trying to silence us!’ Trump renews war with the press as he warns that journalists will eventually have to report on his accomplishments
Trump tweeted: ‘At some point the Fake News will be forced to discuss our great jobs numbers, strong economy, success with ISIS, the border & so much else!’
On Saturday during an event for veterans he boasted that he is ‘delivering on trade, on the economy, on the Supreme Court, on the Second Amendment, on our military, for our veterans, and on our borders’
But he bashed the news media for trying to bury his agenda in a flurry of negative stories
Kellyanne Conway said Monday morning that the news media has a 14 per cent approval rating and is too focused on defending itself to cover policy substance
‘I know it is a heck of a lot easier to cover 140 characters … than it is to the learn finer points of you how Medicaid is funded in this country,’ she said

Donald Trump continued his war against the ‘fake news’ media on Monday, mocking reporters for complaining about his tweets while they ignore his domestic and foreign policy agendas.
‘At some point the Fake News will be forced to discuss our great jobs numbers, strong economy, success with ISIS, the border & so much else!’ the president tweeted.
His top counselor Kellyanne Conway was pushing the same message Monday morning on ‘Fox & Friends,’ criticizing the news media for its 14 per cent approval rating.
‘They don’t cover the substance of the issues,’ she said. ‘I mean, look, I know it is a heck of a lot easier to cover 140 characters here or there, or the president may be saying about the media here or there, than it is to the learn finer points of you how Medicaid is funded in this country and how that would or would not change under the Senate bill. How the child care tax credit might affect your family.’
‘They don’t cover these finer policy points,’ Conway said.
