He just makes stuff up because he knows most people won't bother to fact check, but if they do, he'll call it 'fake news'.

"They have their reasons". Oooooo, doesn't that sound sinister.
Right before our eyes the So-called President is attempting to discredit both the independent Judiciary, and the free press. 
Why?
Well, Trump has his reasons.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United states is a dangerous fascist.



Trump Says Journalists ‘Have Their Reasons’ to Play Down Terror Threat

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday asserted that the news media was playing down the terrorist threat posed by the Islamic State, telling American military personnel that journalists were reluctant to report on the militant group’s attacks in Europe and “have their reasons” for failing to cover them.

Mr. Trump initially did not provide examples of a news media conspiracy to underplay terrorist attacks, and his comments appeared to ignore the vast amount of reporting on violence committed by the Islamic State and its supporters in the Middle East, Europe and the United States. Later Monday night, the White House released a list of what it said were 78 attacks from September 2014 to December 2016 that were carried out or inspired by the Islamic State. The White House said that “most have not received the media attention they deserved.”

The list included the major attacks in Paris; Brussels; San Bernardino, Calif.; and Orlando, Fla., that dominated the news for weeks. Other attacks overseas, lesser known to Americans, received extensive local coverage, like a shooting in Zvornik, Bosnia, in April 2015 in which one police officer was killed and two others were wounded.

The president’s speech was the second time in recent weeks that he has used an appearance before national security personnel — usually apolitical settings in which the focus is on strategy and sacrifice — to discredit journalists and exult in his election victory.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

It's the age of unreason where Facebook is gospel and facts are too much work.


If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Trump does need to tone down and stop blurting out things he doesn't have all the facts about. While acts of terror are reported, the MSM doesn't give them the same air time as acts that serves their PC agenda. Other things like attacks on German women by Muslim immigrants are not reported by the US media, at least I haven't seen any.
