Trump: My Base Is More Loyal Than Ever

Politico reports:



President Donald Trump began his 200th day in office on Monday in the same way that he has started so many others since moving into the White House: by attacking the media on Twitter. “Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger!” he tweeted.

Minutes earlier, the president launched into a multi-part Twitter post complaining more generally about the media, lashing out over polls showing his approval ratings at or near historic lows for a president so early in his first term. Those numbers, much like the polls leading up to last November’s Election day that incorrectly suggested he would lose the presidency, are misreading Trump’s support among the American people, Trump wrote.

He started tweeting early Monday by attacking The New York Times, posting, “The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!” It was not immediately clear to which specific story, if any, he was responding.
