Trump took to Twitter this morning to whine about Fake News and tell us all about the “long letter” he received from North Korea Dictator Kim Jon Ung.
In a letter to me sent by Kim Jong Un, he stated, very nicely, that he would like to meet and start negotiations as soon as the joint U.S./South Korea joint exercise are over. It was a long letter, much of it complaining about the ridiculous and expensive exercises. It was…..

….also a small apology for testing the short range missiles, and that this testing would stop when the exercises end. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un in the not too distant future! A nuclear free North Korea will lead to one of the most successful countries in the world!

Yesterday, North Korea launched two missiles in response to the US and South Korea’s on-going military exercises.
In an earlier tweet, Trump attacked Maggie Haberman of the New York Times and then later, the “unhinged Lamestream Media” as a whole.
Maggie Haberman of the Failing @nytimes reported that I was annoyed by the lack of cameras inside the hospitals in Dayton & El Paso, when in fact I was the one who stated, very strongly, that I didn’t want the Fake News inside & told my people NOT to let them in. Fake reporting!

The tweet comes in response to an article published yesterday in the Times that claimed Trump was bigly upset over the coverage he received on his trips to Dayton and El Paso.
“By the time President Trump arrived in El Paso on Wednesday, on the second leg of a trip to meet with people affected by mass shootings in two cities, he was frustrated that his attacks on his political adversaries had resulted in more coverage than the cheery reception he received at a hospital in Dayton, Ohio, the first stop on his trip. So he screamed at his aides to begin producing proof that in El Paso people were happy to see him.”
Never has the press been more inaccurate, unfair or corrupt! We are not fighting the Democrats, they are easy, we are fighting the seriously dishonest and unhinged Lamestream Media. They have gone totally CRAZY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The day after the mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, Trump claimed, “‘Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage” that has boiled over in this country. Trump also claimed that his rhetoric brings people together.
The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country. Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years. News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased, or these terrible problems will only get worse!
