At a rally in Las Vegas on Thursday night, the president wanted all of his supporters to know the media cannot exist without him.

President Trump spent most of his campaign-style rally in Las Vegas on Thursday night convincing supporters that everyone loves him—including his harshest critics in the media, who he says are sure to endorse him in 2020.

Trump, who was in Nevada to stump for Republican Dean Heller ahead of a midterm challenge for his U.S. Senate seat, spent most of his speech praising himself for making America “respected again” by creating economic growth. But he repeatedly interrupted his comments to mock the media.

“Do you remember the tears from the fake news media when it was obvious that we were going to win [in 2016]? And you know what? They’re still crying,” he said. “They don’t know what the hell happened, but it happened, and that’s why we’re setting all-time records, that’s why we’re doing so well.”

Describing the media as the “great ally” of the Democratic resistance—which he said consists of “left-wing haters, angry mobs, and socialist fanatics”—the president expressed particular scorn for The New York Times.

1. It's going to be very hard to be around him, after he leaves office

I bet the guys on his cellblock will hate hearing the same self-aggrandizing stories, over and over again.

[rurallib]

5. !

And it's not like they can easily avoid him

[Javaman]

11. I am the best prisoner ever!

I have the best orange jump suit. it's fabulous! no one wears a jumpsuit better than me!

[jmowreader]

30. No they won't

Trump will be murdered on his first night in prison. Way too many MS-13 members, minorities, and other people Trump hates are already in the joint for it to be otherwise.

[blueinredohio]

2. You would think the msm would recognize this as a threat

and stop giving him so much air time. Call him out for what he is.

[watoos]

10. Good luck with that.

The M$M is complicit, it has no intention of changing the narrative, including msnbc. I watch msnbc and Don Lemon and Shep Smith because from time to time they stray from narrative but most of the time they all just put a progressive (truthful) slant to the narrative.

I'm still waiting for the narrative to change to impeaching Trump. He has done more in 2 years to warrant it than most of the other presidents combined.

[DownriverDem]

18. We need MSNBC

I noticed you didn't mention Rachel Maddow. You need to watch her show. She is extremely good at breaking it all down every night. Check it out.

[watoos]

22. I watch Rachel, Chris, and my new favorite Nicole Wallace.

My point still stands, allow me to explain.

The narrative could be; Did president Obama beat his wife? Fox will say, yes, CNN will say it needs more information, and msnbc will say absolutely not. What have we as progressives gained if we are following the narrative, did president Obama beat his wife?

Now, I can pick any one of numerous narratives that are out there today. Here's one; Democrats up for reelection should refrain from talking about impeachment. I can do this for a long time.

[leftynyc]

20. Well, not even fox news

carried that stupid rally last night for the whole thing. I'm not sure the other two carried it live at all.

[NCjack]

3. When the Orange Mushroom is out-of-office, the MSM will be

occupied for a decade covering his administration's court trials and the rehabilitation of the federal government. None of them is going bankrupt.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. He will not be running in 2020

Pile on 2 more years of accelerating dementia and what do you have?

[watoos]

13. I also thought he would resign by now

but he is in too deep now. He would lose his pardon power for his kids and for himself. He may not be able to count on a pardon from Pence since I believe that Pence is dirty too.

I never imagined (foolish me) that every Congressional Republican would turn traitor to our country. Mueller can come out with iron clad proof that Trump colluded with the Russians, laundered their money, committed bank fraud, cheated on his taxes and Republicans will still back him, will refuse to impeach him. I wonder how many Republicans got Russian money?

ps/ It looks like Mueller has proof that Cohen was in fact in Prague. The entire Steele dossier is proving to be 100% accurate and yet Republicans are still trying to use the dossier to prove that there was a conspiracy against Trump. When will the M$M change that narrative? Trump and Republicans are lucky that the M$M has been complicit.

[DownriverDem]

16. Maybe

those repubs have also received money from russia. Haven't we seen where the russians gave money to the NRA who then gave it to the repubs? That's money laundering.

[FakeNoose]

23. It's gonna be soon

If we take both houses in November - I predict Cheeto will resign very quickly maybe even before Christmas, or soon after. He'll call it a "victory" of course.

If we only take the House, then he'll hang on for awhile. Mueller will get even closer with indictments to his family, he'll get angry and scared shitless. He already should be scared but that's another story. He'll get friendly visits and phone calls, and people will tell him he has to go. That's how Nixon finally knew it was over, but Nixon was a lot smarter than Cheeto.

[samnsara]

6. can the still cover him when hes in jail?? cant wait!

[Maeve]

7. "The sun cannot rise without me", he crowed eom

[sellitman]

8. This freak show needs to end already

My liquor bill is almost as large as my mortgage payment.

[watoos]

14. You can always try

taking some of the "soma" that Trump has been passing out. Ford is great.

[dalton99a]

9. The media didn't exist before he was born.

[Javaman]

12. imagine what election night in the WH will be like in Nov 2020 after he loses...

they will have to keep all sharp objects out of the room.

I think he's capable of going postal.

[watoos]

17. Our country is going to be in deep shit

if Donald Trump is the Republican candidate in 2020.

I still expect him to have a nervous breakdown in the near future. He is not a strong person, he is fragile. People rightly point out how the beat down that he got at the correspondence dinner bothers him to this day. Don't underestimate the effect that Stormy's book will have on him. A narcissist like Trump can't take being made fun of, especially sex wise. So people, we are going to have to be careful and not upset Trump any further and by all means no one had better call him "little mushroom dick."

[DownriverDem]

15. Oh really trumpie?

Here's hoping that you have been forced out of office or are in jail.

[Racerdog1]

19. Let's hope it doesn't get that far.

By the way, the networks are a fuck of alot more popular than you are.

[McCamy Taylor]

21. Is he threatening to use the FCC to wage financial war against the press?

[dewsgirl]

27. He isn't smart enough to think enough to think in those terms, at this time. If it was

2020, I would be worried.

[jmowreader]

31. No, he's planning to get his Deplorables to stop consuming news

Trump’s problem in a nutshell: there aren’t as many Deplorables as Trump thinks there are, and they don’t consume mainstream media already.

[Bayard]

24. Is he threatening to pull the network's licensing again?

[SWBTATTReg]

25. He's ranted and raved about anybody and anything multiple times, e.g., the Wash. Post, ...

the NYT, etc., 'bankrupt', and so forth. He doesn't know what he is talking about, never did, never will.

We're setting all-time records? Nothing like taking credit for someone else's work and accomplishment, eh?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

26. The media has done fine BEFORE Trump.

And it will do fine without him.

[Gothmog]

28. Trump is delusional

[EleanorR]

29. Sounding more and more like Erdogan every day. n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. The inside of Trump's head must be a strange place indeed. nt

[sakabatou]

33. He's threatening the free press again
