Trump blames 'disgusting' media: 'I would be beating Hillary by 20'

[brooklynite]

Source: Politico

In a series of tweets Sunday morning, Donald Trump launched a new tirade against the media, calling it "disgusting" and blaming it for his drop in polls.

His latest tweet storm first targeted the New York Times, which published an article Saturday about the GOP nominee's allegedly failing campaign, but quickly expanded as an indictment of the media in general.

"The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!"

In the article, colleagues who spoke on the condition of anonymity called Trump "exhausted, frustrated and still bewildered by fine points of the political process."

Pivoting any day now?

[Dr Hobbitstein]

24. Enjoy your stay!

Helluva crazy blog you got there.

[greymattermom]

2. Free publicity, Donald, is free because they get to write whatever they want,

and when you become the laughing stock of the whole country, reporting about you will still sell papers and bring in viewers. If you don't pay for it, you don't control it. You, for one, should understand that.

[sarae]

7. He's so dumb...

He and his god complex can't handle the fact that people don't bow down to him everywhere he goes. I think he's finally starting to realize this. It only took him a whole year.

[underpants]

16. Unprecedented amount of phone-in interviews

No body language to read
Talking points at the reading.
Hit multiple media is way less time.

He prepped the right with regular Monday morning phone-ins to Fox N Friends.

That was the key to his primaries (along with a voting public spread out amongst 17 candidates) but now he has to appear in person which is fatiguing and people don't like what they see.

[EricMaundry]

3. Trump has descended to the level of "crank"

He is close to falling into third place in Utah. Other states will follow.

[baldguy]

4. Sez the guy who was created by the disgusting media.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. It's all a Grand Conspiracy against Donnie Trump

Quick, Dial 9-1-1, call the WAAAAAAAmbulance

for the Whiner in Chief

[Buzz Clik]

6. LOL! This from the guy who habitually calls in to the various media programs.

[Hugin]

8. He's about to pivot around the corner.

... or around the bend.
... or through the tulips.
... or down the stream.
... or with the tide.
... or down the trail.

But, it'll be the best pivot. He's a great pivoter... Nobody has ever pivoted as good... etc.

[Coyotl]

11. The "Pivot" is fast approaching. At least he can afford assisted living and memory care.

Someone should have told him, when he first suggested he might run for President, that he should see a doctor about such a serious symptom.

[Matthew Rose]

9. He's Correct, the MSM is disgusting, however...

If we didn't have this 95% conservative MSM, he'd be losing by 40-50 points. If it weren't for decades of the MSM shamefully reporting crazy right-wing nonsense instead of the truth, a candidate such as dumpster fire couldn't exist.

[Frank Cannon]

18. Absolutely. The Media MADE Trump.

If our joke of a US media had been doing their jobs for, say, the last 40 years, this country wouldn't be anywhere near the mess we're in. And Donald Trump would be performing along with other aged, cheesy entertainers in a variety stage show in Branson, Missouri.

[Yallow]

30. F-Yes

Trump is complaining because all the non scandal scandals are not getting enough attention.

Trump is running against the most scrutinized, least corrupt (almost) politician in a long time. Like there is an equivalence.

When will the media report Trickle Down was a Trojan Horse as it's creator claimed.

The media is corrupt Donald, but not in the way you say.

[smirkymonkey]

42. Exactly! Spot on!

And welcome to DU!

[RAFisher]

10. His response to the NYT article only seems to reinforce what the NYT reported.

He sounds completely frustrate and erratic. He seems like a child who doesn't under how the world works. Remember Trump is someone who makes people work for him sign NDAs. He's not used to being publicly criticized by anyone.

[Rose Siding]

12. Idiot. Half the names in media today learned the biz from those trying to ruin Hillary

The first dozen anon. sources of their careers would either have been Ken Starr, or working with him.

[Wounded Bear]

13. I can hear his handlers now....

"Shit, where did he get access to that fucking phone?"

[PatSeg]

14. Yeah right Donald

The same media that has given you a free pass for over a year? A lot of us think the media was "disgusting" but not for the same reasons you do.

[RapSoDee]

15. Whiney, crybaby Republicans are such a bore

They need to man up and take responsibility for their flaming failures, moral turpitude, etc. etc. etc.

[displacedtexan]

17. I'm sure he wants the same media deal George W. got!

In my opinion, the media made it possible for Republicans to cheat elections for a long time. It wasn't until they ran the economy off the rails that the money pouring in from their big donors started to dry up. Republicans just aren't good investments for big money guys, and the donald is a product they simply can't sell.

[Scarsdale]

22. Rove

tRump should have hired Rove, who did what nobody thought possible, he got W into the WH. Never mind that W was a dimwit, he was protected till the very end. The Not So Supreme Court screwed us all in that one election.

[IronLionZion]

19. Oh yeah Donny, bite the hand that feeds you

blast the very media who gave you free publicity to win your primaries.

As Donny lashes out at everyone, there will soon be no one left to support him!

[Scarsdale]

23. Mrs tRump

Where is she, plus her parents who are staunch Communists? How did THEY get into this country, I wonder?

[cstanleytech]

26. In hiding probably unless they can find a way to clean up her image as right now

she has proven to be far more of a liability rather than an asset.

[catbyte]

37. The RNC's plan to turn her into the "Next Jackie Kennedy" hasn't worked out too well, has it?

I was starting to feel sorry for her, but then I remembered that it was her choice to marry this POS, so she gets to own everything that comes with it. I hope it was worth it to her. Or, maybe she's as despicable and soulless as he is.

[tawadi]

20. Trump declares war on the media

Never works out the way a candidate thinks. What an idiot he is proving to be.

[lastlib]

21. If the media was really doing its job, he would be trailing by 50 points

jus' sayin'.......

[cstanleytech]

25. He is right its clearly the medias fault for doing its duty and reporting what

comes out of Trumps fat bigoted mouth.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. If only the damn media didn't repeat what he said. nt

[Hekate]

28. "Exhausted, frustrated, and bewildered" sounds like the refrain to a song written for DTs....

Another one, of course, is "You're insanr; you prob'ly think this song is about you, don't you?"

[TipTok]

29. All of his other issues aside... I despise people who don't accept responsibility...

You can have some respect for someone who says "I thought I was doing right, I was wrong and I'll take the hit"

This is just pathetic....

[Jim Dandy]

31. The media keeps reporting what he says

It must be one of those reality based conspiracies.

[turbinetree]

32. Maybe the "guy" that likes to associate himself with some people and running for the highest

office in the country should go to Barnes and Noble, buy the book out of the millions "he's made", sit back and reflect on the his "deals" or he can go to the public library there in New York and check it out, since he likes to "pinch pennies",
David Cay Johnston ---------------The Making of Trump

Johnston should be on every news show from here on out about this "guy", why is he associated with Sater, and just for more information lets add Bill Moyers from his disscussionist site

http://discussionist.com/1015954497

In fact if this "guy" the "carnival barker" shows up for the "debates", maybe just maybe, quotes should be thrown out from the book to get it on video for his responses, here is a trailer that was released and if anyone is interested they can go on you tube and then itunes and the documentary that he fought tooth and nail, here is a trailer from Libby Handros------Trump: The Making of a Deal, which is mentioned in Johnston book

[unblock]

33. "... bewildered by fine points of the political process"? *fine* points?

these aren't subtleties we're talking about.

be nice to babies?
don't insult vets?

yeah, baffling, sure.

[Arkana]

34. Boo hoo, Orange Clown Man.

[catbyte]

35. He's really not thinking one second past November 8, is he?

He's forgetting that he'll need "the disgusting media" after he goes down in flames in November. If his spawn aren't freaking out by now, they should be. They'd better be diversifying their financial interests, because the way their old man is blowing up their "brand", the Trump name won't be worth a bucket of warm spit. I can see it now, "COMING SOON TO BUMFUCK MISSISSIPPI! TRUMP ACRES, THE WORLD'S GREATEST, YUGGGEST DOUBLE WIDE COMMUNITY ON EARTH!"

Asshole.

[Kennah]

36. Anyone seeing a longer term positive?

Donnie keeps attacking the MSM, other GOOPers join in to defend their monster they created, so the MSM moves a bit more toward objectivity giving fewer passes to Reich Wing Extremism.

[Moostache]

38. Someone needs to tell him to stop with the exclamation marks.

EVERYTHING IS AWFUL! RUN, DON'T WALK, TO THE SHELTERS!

-------------------------------

Terrible!
Vicious!
Sad!
Dishonest!
Failing!
Losers!
So much Winning!

I woke up today! The sun rise was in the East! Predictable!
Lunchtime! Ham and Swiss, very controversial! Not Kosher!
My foot hurts! Campaigning is such a sacrifice! You can't believe the sacrifices I make!
I am hearing from many, many sources that my hair looks GREAT! Best! Hair! Ever!
No one else can do this much sacrificing for you people! No ONE ELSE!

--------------------------------

If this asshole every actually stopped shouting like the carnival barker that he is, I might be inclined to worry more about what he is screaming. As it is, I am 100% positive that a strong Democratic Get Out The Vote effort beats this guy like anyone up against Katie Ledecky in the 800 meter free.

Burn!

[KamaAina]

39. Without the media, he would be beating Hillary Schmidt by 20 in the seventh frame

of the mixed doubles bowling tournament at Trump Lanes.

[christx30]

40. Stupid, disgusting media..

Showing his speeches and airing his views for the whole world to see. That's making people not want to vote for him. If the media would just keep everyone ignorant of who Donald Trump is, he'd be doing so much better.

[TNNurse]

41. OMG,

Are they recording and writing what he really says again????

He only wants "yes" people who agree and explain. It is what he has been paying people to do for years.

[louis-t]

43. He means if he could get away with lying all the time

he could beat her.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

44. I am going to enjoy watching him try to sue America for not voting for him.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. Any excuse / blame except himself. . . . . nt

[D23MIURG23]

46. AHHHH TRUMP CONFUSED!!!

It WORK FOR PRIMARY, WHY IT NOT WORK NOW!!!!

TRICKY MEDIA!!!


[img][/img]

[Francis Booth]

47. So he's exhausted. Waah. Who knew that running for President was a

lot harder than flipping real estate?

Guess what Donald - Presidents work around the clock, whether they're exhausted or not. If you can't handle it, throw in the towel.

[vinny9698]

48. The old adage: when you do not like the message, blame the messenger

I have the same problem with my teenage sons, they don't like the solution to their problems, so they blame my tone of voice.

[Rocknrule]

66. Trump measured his penis last night, blames "disgusting, crooked rulers"

[paleotn]

49. A wise, old saying....

...never pick fights with someone who buys paper by the roll and ink by the barrel. Though they don't use ink and paper as much anymore, that wisdom still stands.

[yellowcanine]

50. But yesterday he said the voters of Conn, PA, Ohio, and Florida were to blame.

WTF?

[Thinkingabout]

51. The "disgusting" media is because they are reporting on a disgusting person who says

disgusting statements, Trump needs to clean up his disgusting act.

[muntrv]

52. Yes it's disgusting that the media reported your disgusting statements.

[uppityperson]

53. They gave him twiter access back

https://mobile.twitter.com/realdonaldtrump?lang=en

It is not "freedom of the press" when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false!
49m

I am not only fighting Crooked Hillary, I am fighting the dishonest and corrupt media and her government protection process. People get it!
57m

Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media. She is not a talented person or politician. The dishonest media refuses to expose!
57 min

My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size or enthusiasm.
5h

If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%
5h


The failing @nytimes, which never spoke to me, keeps saying that I am saying to advisers that I will change. False, I am who I am-never said
5h

The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!
5h

[SunSeeker]

54. Seriously Politico? You had to put "allegedly" in front of "failing campaign"?!

And Trump has the nerve to claim the press doesn't give him the benefit of the doubt!

[spiderpig]

55. I'll say something positive about Trump. He contributed the word "bigly" to the lexicon.

That is all.

[creeksneakers2]

56. How could he be ahead by 20%

if the whole thing is fixed?

[Rex]

57. Now Baby Cheeto moves on to the next group to blame for his failures, the media.

What stage of denial is Baby Cheeto in?

[Yukari Yakumo]

58. How long before...

He starts saying the pollsters and the media are conspiring against him and the polls are fixed?

When he gets blown out of the water in November, I'll be surprised if he even concedes.

[truthisfreedom]

59. Trump has this magical ability to paint a tunnel on his imaginary wall

and then he gets hit by the very real train that comes out of it.

[pampango]

60. When in doubt, blame the media - rather than yourself. n/t

[truthisfreedom]

61. I grew up in a religious cult. Donald sounds exactly like the leader.

Constantly blaming others for her failures, never taking responsibility, always threatening people and demanding that she be the center of attention. Much like Donald, she gave away her madness with occasional phrases like "I am God to you" (that didn't go over well with me).

Donald is treating his campaign like a wrestling battle from the 90s.

[BadGimp]

62. someone call the Waambulance

[Odin2005]

64. What a whiner!

[Rocknrule]

65. Trump once again insists that his shit don't stink

"I have the best shit! The biggest shit! My shit is made of winning material!"

[mysuzuki2]

67. He's right.

If the damned media would just stop reporting actual FACTS ...

[Stuart G]

68. One of the most horrific lies ever....and...too stupid to know

1. Will not take back
2. Will not apologize
3. Will not clarify
4. Is lost in his own lies...distortions. and self view..which everyone now sees..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shankapotomus]

69. Spoken like a true narcissist

Of course, it's the media's fault. It couldn't have been anything he said.

[Skittles]

70. lol, "bewildered by the fine point of the political process"

HE'S AN ASSHOLE
