Maggie Haberman thinks Trump might be "conditioning supporters ahead of an event of some kind"

Maggie Haberman
@maggieNYT

POTUS language on the press has changed noticeably in recent weeks, beyond the basic terms he’s used in past. Often he does that when he’s conditioning supporters ahead of an event of some kind.

The New York Times Sanctuary Cities/Immigration story today was knowingly wrong on almost every fact. They never call to check for truth. Their sources often don’t even exist, a fraud. They will lie & cheat anyway possible to make me look bad. In 6 years they will be gone........

8. Thanks For The Answer & Link

Since he never keeps his promises and always lies, I'd say the Times has nothing to worry about

[Takket]

4. what is with the "6 years" number... that seems oddly random and specific all at the same time...

5. If he got re elected it would be the same amout of time.

6. The funny thing is most folks don't even know what this jackass is saying half the time. I have

no idea what he is tweeting.

The NY Times is one of the papers of record..they'll be here long after this muthafuck is DEAD and BURIED.

7. a 'president' who doesn't believe in freedom of the press.

ain't that some shit

9. +1

10. Has this something to do with the Mueller Report, trying once again to . . .

discredit anything written in the press? Or perhaps, cases in other courts. Or even the whole tax return demands.

I always count on the Trumpster and his cohorts to deflect, distort and/or deceive. Always.

[Miles Archer]

11. That's what some of the folks who responded to Haberman's tweet thought.

The "event" is usually bad news...for Trump. He tries to get out in front of it.

12. Season finale of the Apprentice D.C.

Tease for spinoffs

[global1]

14. Above The Law....

Trump's next venture.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. So Maggie,

you and the first Nude going on Holiday together?

[Kablooie]

15. Sound like he's working towards a coup.

If in 6 years the press is gone that’s a total coup de grace.

[Renew Deal]

16. He thinks they are just making money off of him

When in reality they have been around much longer and will be around long after he’s gone.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Narcissism to the Nth degree: He cannot fathom anything continuing to exist without him

[smirkymonkey]

19. Exactly.

In six years, he will be gone.

[OnDoutside]

18. Could be prep work for the tax returns release.

[mnmoderatedem]

20. Well hell, he's ALWAYS doing that.

standard operating procedure.

[Mc Mike]

21. Reichstag fire.

Try it, twitler.
