CNN losing credibility as each day passes... Its pure propaganda at this point

And yet you're naïve enough to believe that those at CNN and other MSM outlets are not an extension of the Biden/Democratic campaign?  Yes, he's the President, and yes he's still facing re-election in a few months. I'm sure you think he should just ignore the airwaves and the internet to let these left wing hacks walk all over him, choking out any alternative messaging.

Better than I accidentally turned the channel I suppose.  By the way, we're all wondering when life will return to normal so I don't even get what he's angry about.

Read again. CNN was "reporting" he was angry.

Give me a break Doc. The man is working around the clock and CNN just continues taking swipes at him. That network is pure garbage. They made a BUSINESS decision (to help their bottom line) to become the anti-Trump network. It’s pure theater, and totally intentional snarky nonsense. I don’t blame Trump for taking a shot at them during an actual health crisis, before he returns to meetings to try and save your sorry politically vindictive arse!

They didn't say he was angry.  I'm guessing they were trying to paint him in a negative light trying to portray him as caring about the economy more than human lives.

Just like when they said the only reason he was being a good president was to win the election in November.

Honestly, if he put the Twitter on hiatus until November he'd win in a landslide at this point.

Yes and no. The MSM is doing their best to silence him. They don't want to televise his coronavirus briefings because the public likes them and thus likes Trump for having them. They see a president who is totally engaged in fighting this. This is the opposite of Obama who after the ACA never seemed to be engaged in anything. His Twitter comments get his message out. The media feel that they must filter what he says in order to inform the public in the way they want them informed. The MSM acts as if they are the Catholic Church in Medieval times and the reporters are the priests who interpret God's message for the peasants. Trump has found a way around that and there is no way he's giving that up.

How does dunking on Mitt Romney on Twitter in the middle of a national crises help him in any way with his reelection chances?  As for Obama, there wasn't a public crises of this magnitude when he was president.  I prefer to see as little of a president as possible because it generally means the country is in pretty good shape.

Dunking on Romney is seen by the majority of people as a good thing. Obama had a few crisis, nothing as dramatic as this one but he was let off the hook by the media. A good example of that is the swine flu. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html

The majority of his base who loves that kind of stuff.  The people he needs to win over are swing voters who approve of Trump's job performance but don't like him as a person.  They're weighing whether they can tolerate his vindictiveness and brashness or vote for a more digestible candidate who won't rock the boat too much.

Agree with that. Better leader does win. If Nancy Pelosi was leading i'd be soo freaking scared. I think lot worse than anyone with this virus. Ya going off topic, you, Shaw, Hapless, B-Man, and Buffalo Gal my favorite posters here.

This is getting very tiresome. I've never seen media work so hard to convince everyone that Trump said something he didn't say.

The really funny part is if you watched the press ask him those questions, the first guy accused Trump of being overly optimistic regarding Easter and two questions later another nitwit accused him of being too pessimistic about another set of numbers. You can’t make this stuff up! These so-called journalists are hacks!

You are serious- this was a 30 second response to a man pretending to be a journalist who is being dishonest. Unfortunately this behavior from CNN is expected and easily responded by any competent person.

Yes I am serious, because it reinforces his pettiness.  A grown man should be more judicious when he rightly points out a discrepancy in coverage and corrects major misrepresentations.  A childish thin narcissist does that, and takes time of of his day to pick petty fights with reporters, comment on Avenatti's tweets or brag about his TV ratings.

 

Why continue to provide ammo to his enemies?

This is what gets me.  He could still substantively push back but when he starts talking about ratings or brings the discussion back to him, that's where he loses some people.  If he could just not be so narcissistic, he would do himself lots of favors.

Yes, he should be.  But, there's not a chance that he will be.

 

His enemies should be able to take those and run with them.  But, they end up just as, if not somehow moreso though prior to seeing it it would seem impossible to be moreso, childish as he gets. 

 

Imagine how many political science dissertations will be written about their dynamic.  And further, imagine just how many still won't understand what happened even through the lens of hindsight.

When he says "I'm not gong to answer that question" he should just shut up and move on.
Never argue with a fool.

His tweets to me are a mild annoyance but it is effective because he shows how much the media lies. I am not on Twitter and would never know about his tweets except for people trying to discredit him.

Whenever these punk "journalists" come out with these gotcha questions, he should just repeat the same line  "Yet another gotcha question.  Next" .  That way he can point out their gotcha questions and just move on.

It’s part of his persona and just makes his base supporters more fervent. I love it, personally. The lamestream media types are turds, and he talks to them on their level; that of petulant children. He’s the parent putting the whiny child in their place. They can’t stand that Trump is president, and their miserable lives revolve around this fact. This is a war between loony libs and the rest of the country.

It would be better if he went to the Marshawn Lynch school of press conferences.

That's not the audience he should be playing to.  His message should be tailored to the wide swath in the middle that either doesn't love him or hate him.

Maybe, but his strategy seems to be otherwise. The base will love it, the haters will hate ( weren’t getting them anyway) and the middle will decide based on the enormous difference in policy ideas. It’s not like the two parties vision for the country is even remotely similar. In more normal times, playing to the middle might be a better strategy.

Do you actually think you can get his haters to stop hating him if he was nicer?

 

You didn't read what I wrote?

 

The message should be for the non-haters and non-lovers.  He can easily win over an additional 40% of the population just by not being a childish dunce.

Maybe I misread you. I just think the country is so divided  I don't think the percentage of non decided is anywhere close to 40%.
