Donald Trump launched into an early attack of the ‘lamestream media’ and claimed that they were the real fight, referring the Democratic party as ‘easy’.
The President appeared to have a lot of thoughts to share on Saturday morning, with the critique following a string of tweets referring to Kim Jong Un and the NYT’s Maggie Haberman.
‘Never has the press been more inaccurate, unfair or corrupt! We are not fighting the Democrats, they are easy, we are fighting the seriously dishonest and unhinged Lamestream Media,’ he said in the Saturday tweet. ‘They have gone totally CRAZY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’

Trump’s tantrum started with an attack on the New York Time’s Maggie Haberman and a report she wrote about his visits to El Paso and Dayton following two mass shootings.
‘Maggie Haberman of the Failing @nytimes reported that I was annoyed by the lack of cameras inside the hospitals in Dayton & El Paso, when in fact I was the one who stated, very strongly, that I didn’t want the Fake News inside & told my people NOT to let them in. Fake reporting!’
In the report, the NYT claimed that Trump’s staff kept reporters away from the president in an effort to not overwhelm victims of the shootings. They added that Trump was furious with the coverage of his visits.

In the report, Haberman (pictured) and the NYT claimed that Trump’s staff kept reporters away from the president in an effort to not overwhelm victims of the shootings. They added that Trump was furious with the coverage of his visits.
‘Aides have long said that Mr. Trump is heavily reactive to news coverage, and when he does something that he believes he should have been praised for — such as Wednesday’s visits to the cities — he grows furious when he does not receive accolades,’ they said in the report.
‘But he has not adjusted his often casual approach to tragedy, including his penchant for flashing a thumbs-up sign in photographs.’
Melania posted photos of her at University Medical Center of El Paso cradling a 2-month-old infant whose parents, Andre and Jordon Anchondo, were both slain in the Walmart attack, reportedly as they shielded him from gunfire. Trump can be seen holding a thumbs up, which was frowned upon by many on social media.
Trump reportedly did not want reporters at the event but released a video of his visit.
