Trump tweets "dangerous & sick" news media can "cause War"

[demmiblue]

Source: Axios

President Trump continued his tirade against the "Fake News" media, a position that has caused ruptures within his immediate family, stating that the media "can also cause War" in a Sunday morning tweet.

The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!

1. Is Putin secretly threatening to nuke us?

Could that be the reason for this sudden rush by Trump and the GOP to whitewash Putin and his Mob?

[Vinca]

2. This alone should be cause for impeachment.

[dalton99a]

3. Absolutely.

And the asshole has been saying it for how long now?

[kimmylavin]

31. Right?

I mean didn't he swear an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution?

[safeinOhio]

4. So, it was fake news and not you

that said Mexico would pay for it and it's their fault we can't see your taxes?

[forgotmylogin]

30. Um, I thought only Congress had the power to declare war?

Or is he talking about "war" in the sense that he's embattled against everyone and the media is causing it?

[orangecrush]

5. Putin is threatening us

Stuff it, Donnie.

[Vogon_Glory]

6. In other circumstances I might concur with Thump

Who can forget Network 23’s (aka Fox Cable News) carrying the water for Dubya’s excuses for launching a war in Iraq?

[Mc Mike]

7. ... then twitler goes back to tweeting threats of war against Iran.

Every accusation he screams is projection. He looks in a mirror and thinks about how much he hates his enemies.

[orangecrush]

8. The purpose of these tweets

Is, as Rachel said, to demoralize us.

It is information warfare, ala Putin.

Best way to deal with autocrats - turn off the sound and watch what they do.

[turbinetree]

9. Hey traitor I guess you and your former press communications director that took a plane

we, the citizen with a conscience, are next after the teachers, media, liberals, et al. He is following the wannabe fascist dictator's playbook, step by step. Putin kills journalists. Trump wants journalists killed. Those two hours spent by these two in Helsinki were a class on how to effectively create a dictatorship. Trump is Putin's stooge student.

[turbinetree]

17. The only way to defeat this psychopath is to get out and vote and demand Paper Ballots

I do not want this narcissistic megalomaniac to have a platform to say that the vote and Blue Wave was hacked for us to win and that he will try to delegitimized the midterm results, if and when we take back our government, to further his and the other murderer (Putin) claims of journalist, lawyers, activist, students, etc as being the enemy.............

When he went into that room......................with a murder.................and came out and his "bud" was asked a question by a journalist and he said yes. I helped him win........................that was the nail in the coffin for the traitor................and "all" of his enablers in this republican controlled congress, that have done nothing................a public admission that a foreign adversary enabled this POS to become president..................well it pisses me off, it meant my vote did not mean a thing and all of those men and woman that died so that I could vote didn't mean a thing...........................my one time to have voice...............



November 2018 cannot get here fast enough............................vote

[heaven05]

22. yep VOTE

and agitate by word and deed. Fascism-trump, no good. Our experiment in democracy good. GOTV. Vote like your life depends on it. backatcha

[marble falls]

10. "dangerous & sick" ...

Classic projection.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. This jerk is going to cause injuries and death

Mark my words - he is inciting some of his fragile followers to cause great harm to folks in the media.

He must be reigned in, pronto.

Leaders of both parties, as well as the media, should demand that he stop right now.

[heaven05]

12. this sick individual

now an occupant of 1600, wants journalists dead by his own surrogates hands. No ifs, and's or buts. This is serious business calling our never has been a free press, "enemies of the people". This evil sick wanna be dictator was happy when he had all the media people in his pocket in the primary and GE season of 2015=16. Hannity is still there tickling his....oh well let's not get crude heaven.

IF, which I hope not, the white supremacists start killing journalists wholesale at the behest of their Fuhrer, the RW/MOR media actually, literally brought this danger to democracy and a 'free' press on themselves. Lemon, the morning joe crew, Mitchell, all those that were doing the hannity thing brought this on to the american political stage. Let the cards fall where they may.

They were during the run-up to the election, all gleefully and willfully supporting this murderous, dangerously childish individual to push the drama of trump for their news organizations advertising profit and now are pissing themselves or should be. This potus is serious in how he's agitating for murder and mayhem. How many of them think those advertising dollars are going to cover their asses? ALL who supported this POS, I have not one tear to shed concerning what I know is your fear now, dumb-asses. Not one goddamn tear!!!!!!!!!!!! You media 'talking heads THAT PUSHED TRUMP ON US along with a certain other dictator and his Party factions in American politics gave this POS called potus to us.

Rachel, Joy, Sharpton, O'Donnell and we, all know and knew better. Doesn't do any damn good now except our MSM people with conscience mentioned must be the continuing canary in the coal mine and keep hammering away at the POS called potus. We knew better.

Big trouble coming folks, gird up your loins.....

[Corgigal]

20. They were all gleeful.

This first news agency that apologizes to us, the masses that don't fear democracy will be the bravest from the pack. I wait.

Step up The New Yorker.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. As long as Trump can dominate the news cycle with his insane rants, they will continue.

I wish the media would just expose them for what they are and move on. By giving them so much attention the media is giving Trump exactly what he wants and other, important stories are relegated to the back page.

He's acting like a spoiled toddler so why not treat him as such.

[NewJeffCT]

21. Yes, that is my big concern

Donny drives the news cycle now like he did in 2015 and 2016. It's rare that another celebrity breaks through the media frenzy around Donny Dollhands- Roy Moore did for a while when the allegations came out against him.

Back in 2016, Hillary gave a good speech that got a lot of coverage right around when he wrapped up the GOP nomination. However, after that, it was all Donny all the time until the "fake" email scandal broke. Sure, most of the coverage of the GOP nominee was negative, but he has led a life filled with negative crap. However, it came down to the huge daily scandals against him versus a couple of easy to understand but bogus scandals about Clinton and most people judged them to be about equal so voted GOP.

Is he still going to drive the pre-election news cycle with all his Nazi rallies? Probably

[Snellius]

15. So journalists deserve to be killed?

The psycho-logic: the only war the media could instigate is against Trump. CNN has no army. So, like with all dictators, wars of aggression are always justified as "defensive". The objective of war is to kill the enemy. The press is the "enemy of the people." Thus to MAGA journalists should be shot.

One wonders what officials in the Pentagon think about this. Don't hear much from them of late.

[rurallib]

16. Shut down the government, shut down the press, build THE WALL

break up the Atlantic Alliance, undermine NATO, undermine the UK, ruin the environment.

This is why it is so important to win in November. We are 1 Big Mac from another Mussolini

[duforsure]

18. Usually when he says something like this

He's projecting blame onto others for something he's going to do. Actually its putin that's going to do this soon, with an event here or overseas to start a major conflict with, and to use to create more conflict within this country , so he can have trump declare martial law to bypass all others with in the government. Then putin has gotten full control, here. trump IS his puppet.

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. My thought is that the MSM just got the signal that

it's time to stop playing nice and go to WAR. Print the stories about every little thing these scumbag Repugs are doing to destroy our Democracy and forget the fluff news.... the Orange Douche's tweets have to be taken seriously... he wants to be just like Phootey.

[marble falls]

23. The news made him do it? Will that stand up in a War Crimes trial??? It was out of his hands ...

Rachel Maddow made him push the button.

[Racerdog1]

24. Stroke out already.

Fat fucking tub of orange shit.

[greymattermom]

25. A dangerous and sick President

controls the news media with his tweets. How about covering something else? There's always drought.

[bonniebgood]

26. The Media is sill promoting trump, i had to turn off the

news in the past 3 days. I had to turn off my favorite Randi Rhodes because of the REPEATS EVERYWHERE OF TRUMP KLAN RALLIES. I can't stand to hear his voice anymore. Bill Maher is the only one that doesn't play trump video klan rallies. what is wrong with MSM? they are as F'ed up as congress.

[ScratchCat]

27. Its coming...

When some (R) is attached, Russia is behind it and it will be blamed on "libruls" and "the media". Mark it down. They have a plan in motion.

[uppityperson]

28. Report this tweet for threatened someone else

[noneof_theabove]

29. let him have...

his silly fucking military parade.

1) 3 x 7 tanks
2) "tanks right face"
3) "tanks salute" [21 gun]
4) congressional hearing, we don't know which one had the live round.

GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE TO THIS PIECE OF FAILED CON ARTIST SCUM!
