"I'm President and They're Not": Trump Attacks Media at Faith Rally

<snip>
WASHINGTON — President Trump began his holiday weekend getaway with another denunciation of the news media, using a celebration of American veterans and freedom at an evening rally to thunder that he would not allow the “fake” media to stop his agenda.

Speaking to raucous supporters at a faith rally at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, Mr. Trump brought the crowd to its feet by condemning news organizations.

“The fake media is trying to silence us,” Mr. Trump told the crowd at the concert hall, after returning to Washington briefly from his weekend getaway at his golf club in New Jersey. “But we will not let them. Because the people know the truth. The fake media tried to stop us from going to the White House. But I’m president and they’re not.”

sure to come.

Remember: 1974 was preceded by 1968 and 1969.

He needs states' voting data to soothe his ego and won't even try to prevent future Russian hacking since anything to do with the election is all about HIM and not our country. He is CRAZY!

When I saw him give his speech I half expected him to end it with, "Nah nah na nah nah" and then blow a raspberry.

Don't let the lefties take away your God.

He did everything but call out the Deep State by name in that speech.

The most obnoxious thing was his to appeal to American values
that he obviously does not share.

Just before his momentous private date with the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino, he had his deeply indebted minion piss all over the concept of basic decency. Then like the fascist tyrants of yore, he siezed upon the hyper-patriotic 4th of July weekend not to unite Americans, but instead to work with his Cabal of KGOP Comrades to make things far fuglier by spitefully stirring the shit pot.

it bothers me a whole lot that people clap. Polite is one thing, enabling is another. Dear Leader feeds off his adoring fans like Jim Jones at a rally in Guyana. I don't get it.

everybody who tells the truth about him is fake? He is the biggest, fattest, ugliest, orange fake of all. Worst president EVER. He has his cabinet filled with relatives who are as stupid as he is. He would have his sons, Beavis and Butthead in cabinet jobs if he could. They are as "qualified" as he is to run the country. The only GOOD thing about this clown is that (after Putin) the gop owns him. He represents their party!! He says and does stupid things, and they all get in line to back him up, making themselves look as dumb as he is.

This is what scares the crap out of me...

Those radical supporters will not sit idly by and watch Trump get impeached or forced out of office by any means. We're in for violence.

The baby that lives next door to me is more mature than that.

Keep it up, asshole. It will only make watching your downfall all the more enjoyable.
