Today in TrumpOnTwitter.
Thank you for all of the nice statements on the Press Conference yesterday. Rush Limbaugh said one of greatest ever. Fake media not happy!

Oh well if Rush Limbaugh said so.
Since then he’s been busy with stuff like that Rally at the Orlando airport. But then a couple of hours ago he went Full Fascist.
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

The press is the enemy of the people, according to him. Once again he’s inciting hatred and, potentially, violence.
Let’s go back to October 1933:
On October 4th 1933 the Reich Press Law stated that all journalism had to be “racially clean”. Any Jewish and liberal editors and journalists were sacked and all remaining editors had to take a Nazi citizenship test and prove that they were not married to a Jew. Any Jew who owned a newspaper was pressurised into selling out. If any Jewish owner refused to do this, the government banned the production of his newspaper for a few days that could then become weeks and months.
Trump would do that if he could. He wouldn’t hesitate.
He can’t, yet, and I don’t think it’s likely that he’ll be able to. But am I confident about that? No.
"One of the most effective press conferences I've ever seen!" says Rush Limbaugh. Many agree.Yet FAKE MEDIA calls it differently! Dishonest

A value judgment can’t be “FAKE.” A value judgment isn’t the same as a fact claim.

Is “Greatest Press Conference Ever” even a thing? Were there competitions for this that I missed? What a sad, pathetic loser that he keeps having to be the Best and the Greatest (or, where appropriate, the Least -[antisemitic, racist] )at Everything Ever and Always. Earth’s Specialest Snowflake.
Had forgotten that Limbaugh even existed.
I bet he would happily call them lugenpresse, if not for his completel lack of historical knowledge.
Also, a pet peeve with the declining standard of english among journalists: pressurised is not pressured.
Can any honest person (even a stupid one) call that a success? It was unintelligible as fuck…
Is Rush displaying a subtle sense of humour here because in a way he is right. The press conference was most effective in showing what a bumbling, bullying, bombastic bastard Trump is.
Yeah, Acolyte. Limbaugh doesn’t appear to be dumb, just toxic. Surely he can see through Trump. But then, he always does fall back on the excuse that he’s an entertainer, and gives people what they want. And I suspect he’s a suck-up.
Dismal. Like some hurricane of stupidity that miraculously learned to assemble words in hateful orientations.
On the plus side, Trump’s list of ‘failing’ media will soon be longer than 140 characters and he won’t be able to complain about them any more. It’s a national disgrace that the BBC hasn’t done more to make the list.
The aspiring dictator’s list does have the advantage it tells me who I probably want to read and subscribe to.
latsot, considering that the height of English disapproval is merely loud tutting, there’s no surprise that the Beeb haven’t annoyed him; far too subtle for The Appresident’s fuddled fizzog!
