So, Bush posed no threat whatsoever?....I guess not, as he's on the dark side anyway, just didn't know it at the time.
But STILL, Trump used to be accepted by them as one of their own, right up until he ran for POTUS....Why the huge swing? They must have known he was shown the "truth room"...Gotta be "Q"..

Yes...but Trump is making the insinuation that the free press is "fake"...while HE is "real". IMO...he who screams "fake" is often the fakest of all.

Why does everyone keep saying that Trump said that the free press is the "enemy of the people," like Obama spewed today in his speech in IL? What Trump did say is that any of the press who reports 'fake news' IS "the enemy of the people," not the whole free press itself. THAT is true, and there is a difference!
Your accusation of his "insinuation" is wrong, too.

Yes...I am wrong, and you are always right...just like Trump is.

Let me ask you something, Margie:
Which faction of the free press has Trump absolved of this "fake news" epidemic?

There's nothing like a heartfelt sincere acknowledgement.

In this instance, you are wrong. Trump never said that the press is the "enemy of the people." If you know better, produce the evidence. If I am wrong, I will humbly apologize. If I am not, will you??

A lot.
It was a blizzard of snowflakes.

Well, in this case, yes.
He never said the free press was the enemy, no matter how passively aggressive you state it. Perfect example of what he was talking about. Thanks for playing.

When did I ever accuse Trump of saying that "the press is the enemy of the people"? I've NEVER said ANYTHING about any "enemies of the people"...I only talked about Trump's repeated references to the "fake news" that the press supposedly continuously releases. Is there one major news-source except Fox_News that Trump hasn't accused of spreading "Fake News"? Is that what I am supposed to believe? That only Fox-News is a "real" news source...while all the other major news-sources are FAKE? And I am supposed to believe that, because...TRUMP says so?

Again...find one case on this board where I accuse Trump of calling the free press "enemies of the state"....whether passive-aggressively, or otherwise. Yes...the press says a lot of "fake" things. But...so does Trump. Calling someone "fake" doesn't make the accuser "real"...not by a longshot. The press is "fake"...and so is Trump. IMO...it's all a freaking charade...at the citizens' expense.
