Trump Slams Media's 'Agenda of Hate' In New Tweet

Source: Mediaite


by Jon Levine | 6:58 am, June 13th, 2017

Donald Trump is on Twitter again.

The leader of the free world awoke early once again Tuesday morning to lambaste the “fake news media” and call out what he said was their “agenda of hate”




And while it’s a little early to be so angry, the outburst has certainly become par for the course, if not routine, for America’s mercurial 45th president. In the past he has accused members of our humble profession of fabricating lies, fake news (of course) and of being “enemies of the people.”

It’s not clear what specifically upset him this time, but his outbursts can often be traced to morning show coverage — particularly Fox & Friends — which he is an avid fan of.

While a near cottage industry has risen up offering Trump unsolicited advice about tweeting, and there was even once a plan to have his lawyers vet what he puts into the ecosystem, that all appears to have gone by the wayside.

Trump blasts court for ruling against travel ban at 'dangerous time'

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticized the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals one day after it handed him another legal setback by refusing to revive his U.S. travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority nations.

"Well, as predicted, the 9th Circuit did it again - Ruled against the TRAVEL BAN at such a dangerous time in the history of our country. S.C." he wrote on Twitter, apparently referencing the U.S. Supreme Court, which could act as soon as this week on his administration's request to reinstate the order.

the Agenda of Hate is his regards for everything America has accomplished.

The man is not just twisted, he's looney

I can't even ascribe it to ruling like the great exploiting monarchs of Europe,
depending on which population you ask - the Bourbons, Hapsbourgs, etc etc

He slaps nicknames on all of his enemies, from "Little Marco" to "Lying Ted" and now the "Fake News Media". Yes, that is very "sad".

shouldn't he no longer need it? Not to mention, there has been no problem yet from any of the people admitted in from those countries - even from refugees admitted years ago.

As to fake news, it was scary when he proclaimed Breitbart good; the NYT bad almost as soon as he took office, then it sounded like an evil plan to control the minds of the right. This tweet sounds delusional. He needs to consider that the entire world sees those tweets. It is hard to imagine the incredible difference in how the US President is seen from Obama to Trump. Strange that he likely could not go to Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy etc for a public event without seeing that he is hated. So, he prides himself that Saudi Arabia liked him better than Obama.

I presume he's expecting "Oh, Mr. President, we love your bigotry and misogynistic stances, and especially making life worse for the American people! Wonderful! "
