Trump Freaks Out On Twitter Over The Press In Nonsensical Tweet, ‘Stories That Should Be Bad Are Horrible!’
Donald Trump followed up his tweets announcing the departure of his Interior Secretary Saturday morning with an attack on the press.
It’s unclear what exactly set this off––perhaps a segment on Fox News––but Trump declared the press to be dishonest and said stories that “should be good” for him are bad instead:
Trump tweeted, “Never in the history of our Country has the “press” been more dishonest than it is today. Stories that should be good, are bad. Stories that should be bad, are horrible. Many stories, like with the REAL story on Russia, Clinton & the DNC, seldom get reported. Too bad!”
Never in the history of our Country has the “press” been more dishonest than it is today. Stories that should be good, are bad. Stories that should be bad, are horrible. Many stories, like with the REAL story on Russia, Clinton & the DNC, seldom get reported. Too bad!

There is, however, that apparent concession that there are stories Trump admits are bad for him––just that they’re covered as worse than they are.

Trump’s tweet blasting the press comes, of course, on the heels of Michael Cohen‘s sentencing, his interview blasting the President, and Robert Mueller saying again yesterday Michael Flynn lied in his FBI interview.
Twitter had some thoughts:
Stop using your position as president to attack the media. It’s disgraceful. A free and independent press is essential to a healthy democracy.

Never in the history of our country have we had a President more corrupt, more criminal, and more immoral than Donald J. Trump. He makes Nixon look like an angel.

Trump should change up his predictable Twitter game. His guilt is so transparent.

People formerly in your administration are pleading guilty left and right. How is it “bad” for the press to report that?
Resign.
