President Donald Trump seemingly attempted to close the gap between him and his daughter on Thursday, after administration staffer Ivanka Trump said that she didn’t consider news media to be a so-called “enemy of the people.”
They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made no such distinction earlier Thursday, criticizing the press while refusing to say journalists weren’t a public enemy.
And besides, the distinction between “news” and “fake news” is somewhat meaningless, coming from Trump. In the past he’s admitted that the “fake” label applies to those outlets whose coverage he simply doesn’t like.
The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?

As my mother used to say - Do you even listen to yourself?
Negative news = Fake news. Plus imaginary percentages.
Oh Goody, Trump is finally acknowledging that Fox News is the “enemy of the people?”

i heard that it’s great for solving eye problems.
He should have stuck with his guns and told his daughter to fuck off.
Please, you think he has that kind of courage?
Whipped by his own daughter. Weak father. Sad.
