President Donald Trump criticized the “fake news” media on Thursday, for obsessing with possible staff changes in the West Wing and the Russia investigation.
“[A]nytime I even think about making changes, the FAKE NEWS MEDIA goes crazy, always seeking to make us look as bad as possible!” he wrote on Twitter. “Very dishonest!”
CNN focused intently on Trump’s “foul” mood in their cable news coverage and in a storyfeaturing ten bylined reporters citing anonymous sources.
Trump insisted his presidency was running smoothly, despite the rumors that he might get rid of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
The president also criticized the ongoing Russia investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller as a “total mess” and a “disgrace to our nation.”
“They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts,” he wrote. “They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want.”
Trump again called the investigation “highly conflicted.”
“A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!” he wrote.
The White House is running very smoothly and the results for our Nation are obviously very good. We are the envy of the world. But anytime I even think about making changes, the FAKE NEWS MEDIA goes crazy, always seeking to make us look as bad as possible! Very dishonest!

The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want. They are a disgrace to our Nation and don’t…

….care how many lives the ruin. These are Angry People, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years. They won’t even look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side. A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!
