Trump: Attacking Media is "my only form of fighting back, I think I'm doing a service."

[Miles Archer]

“Don’t you worry at all?” asked Axios reporter Jim VandeHei. “You are the most powerful man in the world, and if you say that word — ‘enemy, enemy’ — there are tens of thousands of people that go to a stadium to listen to you, and people go on social media and get themselves so jazzed up, there’s got to be a part of you that’s scared somebody is going to take it too far.”

Without hesitating, Trump replied, “It is my only form of fighting back.”

He then added, “I couldn’t be here” unless he relentlessly attacked his foes.

Additionally, Trump told Axios that “I think I’m doing a service” by attacking the media because “people write stories about me that are so wrong.”

1. "People love it when I tell them to find Democrats and kill them."

"If Democrats don't want to be killed, they should become Republicans."

2. Fuck Off Fraud.. that's you

doing a "service".

3. He calls it "fighting back"...

"Fighting back" is what one might do against a competitor or some individual that might attack you, in one form or other.

"Fighting back" against the law, and legal investigations, is called something else.

It is called "obstruction of justice".

6. Yes. Thank you.

If the media is reporting on a criminal investigation into obstruction and TREASON, the way to "fight back" is to lawyer up with the best attorneys you can get and prepare to face justice through the system - NOT rip the Country to shreds and target journalists for reporting on said investigation.

And definitely NOT claim you have the power to erase Constitutional amendments with an Executive Order!

4. He is prepared to destroy a country and watch the slaughter of American citizens by his supporters

to stay out of prison.

He will be stopped. Go Mr. Mueller.

5. You're The President

of the United States, moron. You don't have to "fight back." See, this is illustrative of a big part of his problem. Even as President, in his head he's still that needy kid on the playground who has to go around defending and proving himself all day. In his own way screaming, "I am somebody" from the rooftop at every imagined tiny slight. Daddy issues.

9. The man can't handle the tiniest bit of criticism.

He goes on a twitter attack after any public figure who says anything slightly negative about him. I think it shows how insecure he is. If he didn't have his family's money, he would be a total nobody. Men like him only get women who use them for their money. It is very unattractive to be that insecure. Melania is probably hoping he doesn't have too many years left. He is an unbearable asshole.

7. Serving only yourself.

8. You know, I really wish that someone would have the courage to put him on

the spot and tell him to grow up. That every president is criticized and that it goes with the territory. Tell him to be a man and stop responding to every single little slight and comment, and just behave with some dignity.

However I know that will never happen. He is incapable of acting like a mature, dignified adult. I just want him gone. I am so tired of his constant presence and the stench of his influence. He is like a poisonous gas that has been unleashed upon the nation.
