President Trump turns up the volume with days of anti-media attacks
President Donald Trump has made a "war" on the press a central part of his presidency. In the past few days, it feels as if he's turned up the volume another notch. Destroying any notion of a shared truth — pressuring people not to believe real reporting — that's the Trump era story in one sentence. "There has never been a time in the history of our Country that the Media was so Fraudulent, Fake, or Corrupt!" President Trump wrote. When his presidency is "looked back on," he said, he hopes that a "big part" of his legacy will be "the exposing of massive dishonesty" in the press. Which is interesting, because something tells me the exact opposite thing will be said. Kayleigh McEnany, National Press Secretary for the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign, said with a straight face that President Trump has never lied, while the media lies every day. In response, CNN Host Chris Cuomo said she was shredding her credibility.
