Hmm.. me thinks anything coming from the White House has a credibility issue, considering all the well documented and public lies that have emerged since day 1.


I'd consider it 'fake news', lol.

CNN is a contender but so many other great candidates. What is your pick ?
The only mainstream source of fake news is Fox News. They deserve the award, but like the Oscars, it will go to someone else.

Every president, even Mr. Trump's predecessor, has contended with an unfriendly news media. The media isn't supposed to be friendly with him or her, they're supposed to hold them to account, as the founders intended. Every president prior to Trump understood this, even if they didn't like it at times. Mr. Trump is the first president to attack the media as the enemy of the American people and sow distrust in a bedrock institution of our society. And he has succeeded, convincing hyperpartisans like yourself that he's unfairly under attack, even though the media are only doing the job they've been doing for the past 250 years. If you don't understand that this is dangerous, I don't know what to do for you.

President Trump will be happy to hear his award ceremony is being compared to the Oscars.

If Trump were local dogcatcher, would anyone even give this lout the time of day? Would anyone in their right mind even allow him to cross the threshold of their home? Always amazed by the hypocrisy of Trump supporters who admire this slimy human being. Because in their real life, if Trump was not President, most of them would not give someone this immature and crude the time of day.

If he has a pundit category who will get an award and what will they wear on the red carpet ?

Will announce most

“The FAKE NEWS has utterly abandoned their duty to fairly report the news to the American people. Some journalists and liberal pundits think that Americans are too stupid to see through their amateur efforts to manipulate public opinion, but THEY’RE WRONG,”
Trump himself should be #1.

And so much for Trump acting like an adult and Presidential in 2018.

This is embarrassing.

Even more embarrassing is the amount of people cheering this immaturity on.


So much for a free and unrestricted free press...

I would say Newsweek has been particularly active in the last couple of months... it was HuffPost before then, CNN, and WaPO... Same four sources usually...

No apology necessary. Every awful thing this man does should be repeated and posted, ad nauseam, so we don't normalize this anomaly of an administration.
