President Trump on Wednesday accused the media of pushing the quarantine to hamper the economy and harm his reelection chances.
He tweeted, “The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success,” Trump tweeted without citing specific outlets or evidence. “The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

It’s not just the enemy of the people that defines them. They are evil. Only evil would wish harm and promulgate a narrative to accomplish it. There are those who say he is unhinged in those standoffs, but he is merely accommodating the press in the way he is treated and viewed. The media, and some in the public, assume… Read more »
They are the enemy of the people.
I believe he’s right. And the press IS the enemy.
He had the stones to say it to a pressitute during the presser. I love this guy and don’t care if he loves Jews or P.T. Barnum or an ice cold Diet Coke.
