“The Fake News Media, the genuine Enemy of the People, must stop the open and evident threatening vibe and report the news precisely and decently,” he tweeted. “Counterfeit News Must End!”
There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame…

Officials and observers on the two sides of the path have approached Trump to forgo making troublesome remarks in the wake of a week ago’s mail bomb assaults on CNN and noticeable Democrats, and in addition, the destructive mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Anthony Scaramucci, who was expelled as White House correspondences executive after only 11 days a year ago, told CNN on Sunday that Trump should “tone down” his talk.
“There’s no need a war with the media,” Scaramucci said. “You know, the extent that I’m concerned, you can have an ill-disposed relationship, yet we ought to be de-raising this stuff.”
All things considered, regardless of calling for politeness from “all sides” a week ago, Trump has kept on assaulting the media as of late. CNN President Jeff Zucker pummeled the White House over its antagonistic position toward the press a week ago.
“There is an aggregate and finish absence of comprehension at the White House about the earnestness of their proceeded with assaults on the media,” Zucker said in an announcement. “The President, and particularly the White House squeeze secretary, ought to comprehend their words matter. Hitherto, they have demonstrated no cognizance of that.”
A few CNN staff members on Monday censured Trump over his forceful tweets.
“I watched my group escorted out of our NY HQ five days prior as the NYPD disconnected a bomb in our building,” CNN’s Jim Sciutto tweeted. “We detailed the realities, as we generally do. We are not phony news. We are writers doing our employment as well as can be expected each day.”
Mr. President @realDonaldTrump I watched my team escorted out of our NY HQ five days ago as the NYPD isolated a bomb in our building. We reported the facts, as we always do. We are not fake news. We are journalists doing our jobs as best we can every day. https://t.co/Q0flfYGrXm
