17-021617-IM to Majority Report – Trump vs Press

The first thing tRump says this morning after announcing his new pick for Labor Secretary is tell them he is holding an impromptu press conference to objurgate them as you can see on the 19 sec video at TPM (link below) Trump then repeated a well-worn campaign trope — that the media represented coastal power structures that had been corrupted by a global elite.

“Washington, D.C., along with New York and Los Angeles, speaks not for the people but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system,” he said. “The press has become so dishonest that if we don’t talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people. Tremendous disservice. We have to talk about it, to find out what’s going on because the press, honestly, is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control.”
