President Trump on Wednesday hit at the media and defended his record, by saying he is just trying to "Make America Great Again."

"After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY?" Trump tweeted. "All I want to do is #MAGA!"




Trump frequently goes after media outlets, referring to some critical networks and stories as "fake news." During a rally earlier this month in Arizona, Trump accused the media of "trying to take away our history and our heritage."

“For the most part honestly, these are really, really dishonest people, they’re bad people,” Trump said of the media at the rally in Phoenix, Ariz. “I really think they don’t like our country, I really believe that.”

UPDATE:

Trump Complains Of Critical Coverage From ‘Dying Magazines’: ‘WHY?’


By ESME CRIBB Published AUGUST 30, 2017 10:21 AM

-snip-

CNN’s Alex Koppelman speculated about which story might have drawn Trump’s ire.




As Koppelman mentioned, Vanity Fair, Vogue and the Hollywood Reporter all published stories on first lady Melania Trump’s footwear as she departed the White House on Tuesday to visit Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey (by the time she disembarked Air Force One, the first lady had changed into sneakers).

Vanity Fair also published a story dubbing first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, both senior advisers to the President, “exiles on Pennsylvania Avenue.”

The New York Times Magazine on Wednesday also published a cover story on “how to get rich in Trump’s Washington,” though it was not clear which of the plentiful critical coverage of the President caught his eye on Wednesday morning.

our constitutional way of life. He wants to get rid of the judiciary and press, so only traitorous Repugs drive policy and thinks they will go along with whatever Putin tells them to do (through drumpfs orders to them). I still fear he'll stage some kind of false flag operation following in Hitler's steps and use it to suspend the constitution - right about the time Mueller is bringing charges.

Hoping we can kick some ass in the midterms and take away the House or Senate or even better both.
