The media and the left in general are not happy that President Trump received a very warm welcome with cheers and whistles at CIA headquarters Saturday. The president criticized the media during his speech and that too was cheered.
Trump said he decided to visit the CIA on his first full day in office because of the “media war”. The media made it look as if he was opposed to the men and women of the CIA.
“They sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community,” Trump said of the media. “The reason you’re my number one stop, it is exactly the opposite.”
“I am so behind you,” Trump told the more than 300 CIA officials who had gathered at the agency’s Virginia headquarters. “And I know sometimes you haven’t gotten the backing that you’ve wanted. And you’re going to get so much backing.”

“I am with you a thousand percent,” he told them.
When he said the media is among the most dishonest people on earth, he received a round of loud applause.
He claimed the media lied about the numbers at this Inaugural. If true, it wouldn’t be the first time. I went to cover one tea party event, the first one in D.C. and there were hundreds of thousands, perhaps more but NBC News reported that there were 3,000.
Zeke Miller from Time Magazine said Donald Trump removed the bust of Martin Luther King which wasn’t true. Trump addressed it during this speech.
Miller has since apologized and said it was a mistake. He has tweeted several apologies in fact.
So, he made a mistake. Why not check before writing something like that?
Tweeting again: wh aide confirms the MLK bust is still there. I looked for it in the oval 2x & didn’t see it. My apologies to my colleagues

Correction: The MLK bust is still in the Oval Office. It was obscured by an agent and door.

Politicus described Trump’s speech today, saying he “whines about inaugural”. You decide, but keep in mind that he wants to call out the media for every lie.
Full speech:
CNN has a reputation for fake news.
