Donald Trump launched a furious attack against the press on Sunday morning, ramping up his rhetoric towards what he calls ‘Fake News’ to new levels.
Claiming he provides a ‘great service’ to America by pointing out the failings of the media, the president again labeled the free press the ‘Enemy of the People’ who ’cause great division and mistrust’.
‘The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE,’ he wrote.
‘I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust.’
‘They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!’
Trump has frequently referred to the media as the ‘enemy of the people’, much to the dismay of many who feel he is endangering journalists’ lives.
His most recent attack comes less than two months after five journalists were killed at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland.
But the president has only ramped up his criticism of the media as the press continues to report on Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
After once again calling the media the enemy of the people, Trump hit back at the press for a recent story that claims he is concerned Mueller’s probe will ruin his son’s life.
‘Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower,’ Trump tweeted.
‘This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics – and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!’
‘Why aren’t Mueller and the 17 Angry Democrats looking at the meetings concerning the Fake Dossier and all of the lying that went on in the FBI and DOJ?’ Trump continued in a separate tweet.
‘This is the most one sided Witch Hunt in the history of our country. Fortunately, the facts are all coming out, and fast!’
Trump continued with yet another tweet calling the media ‘fake news’.
‘Too bad a large portion of the Media refuses to report the lies and corruption having to do with the Rigged Witch Hunt – but that is why we call them FAKE NEWS!’ he ranted.
A Trump adviser told the Washington Post that Trump does not believe Donald Trump Jr broke the law on purpose, but fears he inadvertently may have wandered into ‘legal jeopardy’
