President Donald Trump took his “enemy of the people” diatribe a step further on Friday, accusing “fake news” and reporters of “creating violence” by their “questions.”
“No, no, you know what, you’re creating violence by your questions,” he said. “You are creating, you. And also a lot of the reporters are creating violence by not writing the truth. The fake news is creating violence.”
“And you know what?” he continued. “The people that support Trump and the people that support us, which is a lot of people, most people, many people, those people know when a story is true and they know when a story is false. And I’ll tell you what, if the media would write correctly and write accurately and write fairly, you’d have a lot less violence in the country.”
Trump’s comments follow days of intense criticism for his divisive, and often violent rhetoric against the media and his critics. Some have linked his tone to recent attacks, like the pipe bombs that were sent through the mail to high-level Democrats — including the Obamas and the Clintons — and the massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue over the weekend.

Threat or delusion? We report, you decide.
Oh Just go Fuck yourself. That is all…
Authentic frontier gibberish.
And you are creating violence by simply opening your mouth…
Dear America:
Vote like the president is mentally ill. Because he is. : (
Thanks,
me
In case you want some proof, these are the people he wants the military to shoot. Or maybe he’ll round them up in camps, sort of, you know, concentrating them where they won’t harm us all. These people.
