Read more Donald Trump continued his assault on the press in front of the nation’s top federal law enforcement officials on Friday while taking a victory lap against a justice system that failed to hold him to account. In remarks at the Department of Justice, which presidents typically avoid to preserve the independence of the work of law enforcement agencies, Trump labelled news outlets with adversarial coverage of his administration “political arms of the Democratic party.” CNN and MSNBC “literally write 97.6 percent bad about me” and are “political arms of the Democrat Party,” Trump said. “In my opinion they’re really corrupt and they’re illegal. What they do is illegal,” he said. open image in gallery Donald Trump aired bitter grievances and raged against his political enemies in an address to the Department of Justice March 14 (Getty Images) He also listed off a list of what he called “fake news” outlets including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, baselessly alleging they are conspiring with Democratic officials to influence prosecutions and investigations against him. “It’s totally illegal what they do,” he said. He suggested that press coverage that criticized judges influenced their decisions in cases against him and should be “illegal.” Trump himself, however, continues to rage against judges that have blocked parts of his agenda, while his allies call for their impeachment and removal from the bench. Newspapers “are really no different than a highly paid political operative,” Trump said. “And it has to stop. It has to be illegal,” he said. “It’s influencing judges. It’s really changing law. And it just cannot be legal. I do not believe it is legal.” He's hoping it's illegal but...pretty uphill climb. I still say the endgame is to discredit the msm media out of existence.

Yes let's. The accusation is that the Brandon admin fed the msm falsehoods and cover-up stories and the msm reported it all as fact. The premise seems to be that Trump thinks such is a violation of the law. Tough to prove it's "illegal"...easier to further tarnish and belittle the msm AND the previous administration. Is that your understanding as well?

Charting the Danger of the Modern Left

It's not just Yankee's freakin'. Canadians...some anyway...figure we're at war with the States. It's thinking like that, that causes escalated tensions. Think of it this way... There are 40 million Canucks. We do have a cultural identity...a "psychy" if you will. Abrupt moves in the trade with the US plus their quest for peace, has an affect on the Canuck "psychy". There are around 400 million Yankees. That affect is wildly more pronounced down there. It's pretty obvious they are freaking right fcking out. But ya...things will settle and hopefully inflation will stop and do an about face. -
True. Erratic and rather hefty changes in US trade does have a serious affect on the stock markets. I have no skin in that game. Call it luck...call it wisdom...I own no stocks. However it all should push inflation up and that would be a bad thing. Sure does exemplify the power of the POTUS I guess. Trump is negotiating with tariffs. Find out what his goal is for Canadian trade, and negotiate. Interestingly enough, Canada is doing that well. Too bad it took a threat, for Pixie-Dust to do something good for our nation. The markets will settle as the various tariffs are settled...I would think. Out of that should follow some pretty good times. And wasn't that the point of Trump's campaign? Make America Great Again?

Were it anyone else...Vance for instance...I think the vitriol would be toned way down.

I think the question is more like, 'is imposing all these reciprocal tariffs a "good" thing for all concerned?' We won't know the answer for several months. -
