Trump to CNN: ‘You are Fake News’; Trump to Buzzfeed: You are a "Pile of Garbage"

[LoAmmi]

Yes it IS! It's Going to be HUGE!

I don't pity you for the buyers remorse you'll be feeling in about a year's time. All this celebrating and videos and oh it's so great only to watch the promises he put forth go away because he lies.

He said he wouldn't cut social security, medicare, and medicaid since so many people rely on these programs. Said it multiple times. I bet it's one of the first pieces of legislation he signs.

It's quite funny, how Trump and his followers don't seem to understand the difference between fake news - (ie. making up stories and publishing it as fact), and publishing unsubstantiated rumors - while making it clear that it is unsubstantiated rumors!

Exactly.

I don't get why Trump and his worshipers are so in a tizzy about it. I read the CNN article, and it looked fair enough to me. They doled out the information they had at the time. Any news agency would've done the same if this had fell into their lap. I could see if they if they presented it as 100% truth, but they didn't.

I honestly suspect Trump never even read the article itself.

Ah I see your point. When someone else does wrong, do wrong back. Two wrongs equal a right. Drop below their level. Be even more immature. Now it all makes sense!!!

Sarcasm aside its ironic how many democrats talk about being nice to the president (when Obama was it) because after all, he is the president. And yet when the democrats lose, suddenly the very rules they talk about go out the window and the become schoolyard bullies back.

Again this is why you lost. If your going to act like babies because you believe two wrongs equal a right, then of course people are going to to vote for the other person because they will agree two wrongs make a right.

Me? Was I thrilled Obama won (twice none the less)? Of course not. But I got over it because thats what a person, an adult, does. This is where we get into the whole millenials need trophys to feel better thing. And its true. Millenials on both sides I have noticed take loss pretty badly.

Well, we are taught not to repay evil with evil, but we are also taught that you reap what you sow.

No comment on Buzzfeed, but how badly does a Republican have to crash and burn before FOXNews defends CNN from them?

Check the video at 3:35 for the grand finale...

Wow. But then again, they've probably been seeing the same info for some time as well.

So.. was there anything discussed at the press conference, or was it just an hour of trump putting down various reporters?

He basically didn't answer any questions and reporters present stated that he had staffers placed throughout the press there who were doing the clapping for his answers and booing the questions. I think one implied they were trying to intimidate the press. It was a complete circus.

So, buisness as usual, then. And people are tearing out their hair about what he said instead of what he didn't say, as usual.

The first hour of four years...

I watched the entire press conference and President Donald John Trump answered every single question from the reporters. Would you like to link your sources for the claim that President Trump placed staffers throughout the press? This entire comment ranks as "Fake news" in my opinion.

True, we may know that but it doesn't mean he does. But if he gets what coming then thats on him.

I honestly suspect he never does. Remember, he's his own advisor... he's got a great brain!

Whether or not he answered the question is my opinion. Saying we are going to replace Obamacare with a really great plan, but no details of the plan, is not an answer, imo.

As far as the staffers present, that was via tweets by various reporters who were present. I believe a couple of outlets did write ups also stating that had happened, but I'm not going to bother to search to link them, as I know none of them will be legitimate in your eyes. Google is your friend tho.

It's funny on the surface....but deeply disturbing knowing our next POTUS can manipulate so many.....so easily.

Good. Now let's see if Trump changes his behavior and demeanor towards the thousands of people who make up the Intel. community. And that includes his remarks on Twitter....

The confrontation with the CNN reporter is about 1 min of a nearly hour long press conference.

I would encourage you to watch it and form your own opinion.

So if your local newspaper wrote an article on you Performing an illegal act, but made it clear that it's unsubstantiated rumors. You wouldn't have a problem with that?

I thought they were supposed to report news, not rumors?

If it unsubstantiated and later shown as a fabrication, is that the definition of fake?

The CNN reporter was acting obnoxious....

It doesn't excuse Trump's comments regarding CNN or his demonstrated arrogance toward the media.
