Trump Reacts to Iran Snubbing His Offer to Meet: 'It Doesn't Matter - It is Up to Them'

Source: Mediate

On his way to a rally in Ohio on Saturday, President Donald Trump tweeted about Iran.




Trump’s tweet appeared to be in response to the news from earlier this week that Iran had rejected an offer to meet with Trump.

In addition, according to the Fox News report — which just so happened to air a segment on the topic shortly before Trump tweeted — Iranian officials snubbed an offer from Trump who “this week said he would sit down with the country’s leader without any preconditions.”

The report also featured National Review columnist John Fund insisting Trump’s offer to meet with Iranian’s leader amounted to “shadowboxing” and was not actually going to happen anyhow.

Trump Smears MSNBC as ‘Disgusting’ and ‘Corrupt’ at Rally, Crowd Erupts in ‘CNN Sucks’ Chant

by Tamar Auber | Aug 4th, 2018, 8:18 pm

During a raucous rally in Ohio that hit on a number of familiar themes from his earlier rallies, President Donald Trump once again took swipes at the media, calling MSNBC “disgusting” and prompting a chant of “CNN sucks.”

“They had this false report that I was supporting somebody else and they were right,” he said before laughing, “It was fake news.”

“They were right and I was supporting somebody else, Steve Stivers but he’s in a totally different district. Did they apologize…”

Then turning to the media bullpen, Trump asked, “Did you apologize for that mistake?”

That prompted loud boos and chants of “CNN sucks” from the crowd.

Trump Hails Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham, Doocy, Kilmeade, Earhardt, Dobbs, Bartiromo: ‘The People That Love Us’


by Aidan McLaughlin | Aug 4th, 2018, 8:12 pm

President Donald Trump spent much of his rally on Saturday night trashing CNN and MSNBC, but also took some time to show love to his preferred cable news network, Fox News.

He actually shouted out nearly the entire Fox News lineup at one point.

After calling MSNBC and CNN a “fake news group of people,” Trump said “here’s the good news.”

“The guys that we love, they are blowing them away in the ratings. [Sean] Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Steve Doocy, Ainsley [Earhardt], Brian [Kilmeade],” he said.

“Oh excuse me, I almost forgot I would have been in big trouble, the great Lou Dobbs,” Trump added. “Oh, Maria Bartiromo. I’m in trouble because I know I left out probably ten.”

For anything he says or does. This is just another pr stunt so he can then claim something that isn't true with, like the NK meeting , and especially the treason summit.
