- 6 years ago
President Trump on Thursday again slammed the media.
Just days after the Maryland newsroom shooting that claimed the lives of five people, President Trump called journalists "bad people" at a rally in Montana.
"I see the way they write. They're so damn dishonest," Trump said on Thursday. "I don't mean all of them, because some of the finest people I know are journalists. Really. Hard to believe when I say that. I hate to say it, but I have to say. But 75 percent of those people are downright dishonest. Downright dishonest."
He then went on to slam the media for using anonymous sources and stated, "these are really bad people."
USA Today noted about his comments, "One week after the shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, President Donald Trump put an end to any speculation that the tragedy could lead to a truce in his unrelenting war on the news media."
Trump has openly blasted the media in the past, calling reporters, "the enemy of the American people" and "among the worst people I've ever met."
He even said at a Phoenix rally that journalists "don't like our country."
