So, Trump said "fake news" was the enemy of the people. I think its pretty crass of you to:

- make this shooting political when its not, and;
- conflate the victims of the Capital Gazette shooting as purveyors of fake news at a time like this.

Pretty sad.

Donny’s target isn’t the fake news media (Faux, Limblow, Breitfart), it’s the real news outlets, like this one, which report the facts, which he so hates.

Your post is so typical of you, Whell. Try to paint others as the dishonest ones, while being utterly dishonest yourself. You’re the lowest of the low.

So, you're focusing not on what Trump actually said, but what you wish/hope to infer from what he said. This allows you to build yourself a nice straw man that you can play with. Got it.

And you call me dishonest and "the lowest of the low".

^^ Did Trump or did he not call NYT, WaPO and CNN (to name a few) fake news?
Please answer this simple question if you can bring yourself to it.

In reference to specific news stories, yes.

I thought this thread was about the shooting. Its pretty clear the shooter in this case was not motivated by anything Trump said. So, what difference does it make - to borrow from the Hilly - what Trump tweeted in this case?

Was actually focusing on your (and your fellow Trumpies’) gullibility, and willingness to outright lie for your Dear Leader, but it went right over your head.

Donny has called out the real news media, on multiple occasions, for telling the truth. They’re “the enemy of the American people”. You swallow this filth whole, without blinking. You’re such a fool.

Yup, your type of "lump everyone into a pile" stereotypical logic would go right over a thinking person's head.

Were those news stories true or false?

Threads have a way of going where the conversation goes and no one can control it.

Here is one example of what Trump has said. Seems to put the lie to what you are asserting but then it's no surprise considering your track record here, Mike.

ps This is a textbook example of a 'strawman' argument, btw.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump


The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!
