The reality of Trump’s conflict with the media
2018-01-28
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] It’s difficult to understand the fierce and ongoing conflict between Trump and the American media without understanding the secret motives of the two parties. Trump has raised the slogan "America First| and the media has been critical of him as he continued to lament America’s status. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
these are how things look on the outside as the real conflict has nothing to do with all this.

Take the book "Fire and Fury," in which author Michael Wolff attacked the American president, as an example. Apart from the profit made (more than 1 million copies were sold in a week), Wolff wanted to show that the president has mental health issues by citing his embarrassing behavior, careless decisions, provocative tweets and unhealthy eating habits. The aim is to collect as much evidence as possible from within the White House to get people to doubt Trump’s mental health and show that he is not capable of assuming the difficult and sensitive tasks of a president and he must therefore be expelled from office.

#8  Sarah Palin pissed me off when she allowed the communist media interview her. They would turn distort everything she said.

President Trump will not have anything to do with that living entity that never said a word about Obama's chain smoking.

The author refers to Americans as simple people? And the idiot media as presidential advisors? What is trash talk like this doing being reprinted?

Evil. Pure evil.

#7  Not just Trump.

Any POTUS who was Republican has been called lazy, stupid, disconnected, and either mentally retarded or having early onset dementia.

I remember the press saying Eisenhower was lazy and stupid...can you imagine calling Eisenfreakinghower stupid???

#6  I have a fervent hope that the MSM destroys itself and is replaced with an authentic media that publishes or airs something that resembles the truth. The current MSM has been taken over by billionaire oligarchs and the Washington Deep State who use it to pump out Dem/left/radical propaganda.

Yeah - if you've been living under a pile of fucking rocks for a few decades. The first world news media is chock full of leftists and have zero interest in government accountability unless a given institution is under Republican control. The difference now is that not only does Trump fight back, he fights so much better than the press can and he loves doing it.

There are no 'secret motives' here - this author's an assclown who's reaching for something that isn't there, which is typical of the majority of news articles out there, which is how we get fake news. Piss off, camel jockey.

Americans find one now and again.

GOD does too.
