MELBOURNE, Fla. President Trump took his feud with the press to his first major campaign rally in a steamy airplane hangar outside of Orlando, Fla., on Saturday, vowing to achieve his legislative agenda despite the lies, misrepresentations and false stories thrown at him by the media.

I want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news, Trump said to huge cheers. The dishonest media, which has published one false story after another with no sources, even though they pretend they have them they make them up in many cases. They just dont want to report the truth.

"Many of our greatest presidents fought with the media and called them out," Trump said, mentioning Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln.

"When the media lies to people, I will never, ever, let them get away with it. I will do whatever I can that they don't get away with it," he said. "They have their own agenda and their agenda is not your agenda."

Wow. Trump is mentioning himself in the same breath as Jefferson and Lincoln before a small crowd of 9,000 people. Shoot. Over 2,500 held an impromptu protest in Los Angeles that was mostly publicized through Facebook:

OS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — About 2,500 demonstrators gathered across the park from City Hall Saturday to protest President Trump’s immigration policies, and about 25 Trump supporters were nearby to voice their concerns as well.

“I will not have my students afraid to come to school,” said a woman who gave her name as Yolanda and said she has been a teacher for more than 25 years. “I am child of immigrants. We are all immigrants.”

“As an educator, I have to teach my students on what the hell is going on,” she said while standing on a podium in front of City Hall among a multi- ethnic sea of people and signs that read “Braceros fed this County” and “Immigrant not by choice, but necessity. I have a dream.”

And on the outskirts at Spring and First streets, a man who gave his name as Arthur, dressed in a red hat that read “Make America Great” with about 25 others in support of Trump, said: “I am fed up with these wild parades. He’s (Trump) putting America first.”

3. every time I hear this I flinch

and think what in the hell is coming down the pike...whatever is is so big that he definitely doesn't want to have anyone believing the press. He is hiding something major and he is scared shitless it is going to come out which it inevitably will.

4. Other than his unconstitutional agenda, I can think of his ties to Russia and tax returns keeping

him up at night and the only way the American people are going to find out the truth is through the "dishonest" (cough cough) media.

6. I hate keep bringing this up but,,

Adolf Hitler used the tactics trump is using against the media. So, trump is either following his lead or he is a reincarnation. Your choice.

5. Campaign rally for 2020 when his 2017 term is already in the shitter.

7. What ever it is must be YUUUUGE!

My guess is Russia and rigging the elections. Trump has cheated at everything his whole life
so why wouldn't he hve cheated during the election?

8. cardboard cut-out

I have a cardboard cut-out of the Constitution at home and I salute it every day.
I've heard that some have the same cutout but they use it for target practice.
