Hitler did the same thing when he came to power.

Fact check: President Trump's press conference falsehoods

I that's right, I forgot, usatoday only serves the democratic party.
Is this for real?

Are their actually people in 2017 that don't believe the msm is completely liberal? I don't care what your political affiliation is, this isn't a normative concept people

Trump is right. That doesn't mean the press should be shut down, but he's right.

Why go on TV and rant and rave about it? It shows his lack of emotional control. I'm sure every President has felt this, but he doesn't need to express every thought that comes in his head. Only little children do this before they've grown up and learn to monitor their internal feelings and express only if appropriate. It made him look like a whiny, unruly child that needs a blankie, pacifier and time out.

Trump is a whiney little b*tch.

He doesn't want you to be friends with people he doesn't like. What a whiner

Trump whines more than any previous president as far as I can tell.

Nah, you're just mad that your side's little media poodles are getting called out.
That's all.

I thought all the TV people went to him and listened to his rant and rave. May be they should stop going to him. That will help him to understand importance of every entity in democratic setup.

So much time being wasted on such inconsequential issues.

Can't this guy just worry about doing his job and not worry about what people are saying about him? What a freaking petulant child.
I agree 1000%.

I think Drumpf's ego thrives off of drama, tension, and attention.

So, to focus on national issues and on all of the misbegotten promises he's made to his voters is something he is incapable of doing.

His obsession on focusing on the media is a ploy to distract not only himself, but all American citizens, from the real issues at hand. His perseverance on the ever changing "boogie man", which in his mind may be one of several different people/things (Mexicans, the media, Hillary Clinton, etc, etc, etc) , keeps many from seeking answers and demanding that he do the job he has been elected to do.

He is a pathetic, inept laughing stock.
