When the super don incessantly calls the press "The enemy of the people" that is not conducive to liking the press. Is it?

He says that to denigrate the press so that no matter what TRUTHS they report about him his devoted worshippers are programmed to not believe it. That is his only goal. His only motive. He consistently undermines the credibility/worth of his "enemies" so they will be reduced to liars and he will be absolved of anything he is accused of because he will have brainwashed the people that it be so. Isn't he a swell fella? Everybody says so. Everybody. Just ask him.

    The press are unliked because of obvious bias and lies for years. Trump is simply the first politican to call them out on it publicly.

    The press is singular, so it IS unliked.

    Outlets are and press is. It depends on whether the noun is singular or plural.

    Trump's attacks on the press are dangerous for the country. This post was edited by Kittigate at October 14, 2018 11:56 AM MDT

    That Journalist who worked for the Washington Post who had a green card and was living in America is a great example. Now of course it is unlikely that any of the American journalists specifcally castigated attacked by super don would be murdered and dismembered as Khashogghi was. On the other hand the same wackadoodles that chant LOCK HER UP at all of the super don rallies aren't exactly calm cool collected and harmless. If they are boozed up and weaponized with a loaded gun who knows what they'd do to one of  super don's "enemies list" journalists? BEST case he isn't helping thing get better. WORST case he is inciting the crazies to  show their hatred that he has promulgated and how they show it is up to them. I will not be surprised when the first super don boozed up loaded-for-bear wackadoodle kills a reporter. Sad but true. Thank you for your reply Kg and Happy Sunday to thee!

    Once upon a time any journalist worth his salt would throughly investigate any stories brought to him. Nowadays the press merely regurgitates what the establishment feeds to them. 

    Good for the prez calling them out.

    Anyone who critizes don about anything becomes don's enemy. His goal is to DESTROY all of the in any way he can. He is a very simple guy. Nothing deep or profound or thoughtful there. Which explains everything.  SIGH. Thank you for your reply Malizz and Happy Tuesday! :)

    When you witness all of the half-truths, fabricated truths, and outright lies the liberal media outlets have fed to the public (which makes them the enemy of the people), you have to wonder just how many "actual" truths, if any, they have reported about President Trump or anyone else for that matter. :) This post was edited by rusureamisure? at October 14, 2018 7:59 PM MDT

  • You'd better believe it's not "conducive". I applaud the president's calling it like it is because they're not going to change regardless of what he says and does anyhow.
