It's circular news: Trump watches Fox News and tweets about it. Fox News reports on his tweets; Rinse and repeat.

I personally only trust FOX News, conservative news sites that are loud and proud of being Republican and President Trump's Tweets.

I do sometimes read liberal news sites though but I don't ever utilize it as a real and reliable news source.
Lol...

It's not just the media. You say this like he's made every effort to be taken seriously, during the election or after, when he was already carrying on a war with the media who gave him the exposure he needed to become the president in the first place.

Let me put this in more succinct terms. Without the mainstream news media, Donald Trump could never have become president. He would have been brushed off like any other celebrity candidate.

GW Bush's contempt for the media could barely be contained in his expressions during press conferences, but he dealt with them like a man and like a president.

Here's the difference between Trump and everyone else in Washington. Everyone else, lies like a politician, they carefully omit the other half of the story and their base falls for it every time.....they trust unconditionally. Trump is not a politician, he's a business man and when he lies he lies like a salesman. I can actually deal with that better than a politician. I don't the whole story when a politician explains something.....with Trump, I can tell what what's exaggeration and I ignore it and pay attention to what he's trying to say....ignore the BS and move on....it's not going to change.

Bush used to talk out of the side of his mouth....hated it but, got past it.

Obama had an ego too, not like Trumps but, he had one.....When he spoke I heard a lot of I....I....I...I...I and a lot of ah...ah....ah...ah between thoughts....I hated it but, got past it.

Complaining like it's grounds for impeachment is crazy.

You wouldn't do it either. He does have a job to do.
It's what presidents do.

Well actually the Main stream media loved him until it became clear he was a serious threat and it came down to him or Hillary. At first Hilllary was shelling out money like crazy for campaign ads and Trump was getting tons of free media coverage. His show had good ratings (I never watched it) and he was friends with the network.

You mean like "Monkey boy" was treated?

Without the MSM, he never would have reached that critical mass, and it's not like they started ignoring him after he did.

Basically, the media is the father of Trump's political life.
