The Hill reports:
President Trump late Sunday lashed out at a group of news networks and newspapers over their coverage of his administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, claiming that all he’s seen is “hatred of me.”
Trump has regularly attacked the press since entering the White House, often referring to reporters as “fake news” and the “enemy of the people. Last week, Trump railed against an NBC reporter, calling him “terrible,” after being asked what he’d say to Americans who are scared.
His tirade against the group of news outlets came after a day in which several state and federal lawmakers called on the president to use his authority to help health systems being overwhelmed by a surge of patients.
I watch and listen to the Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, some of FOX (desperately & foolishly pleading to be politically correct), the @nytimes, & the @washingtonpost, and all I see is hatred of me at any cost. Don’t they understand that they are destroying themselves?

Maybe if the entire news media, including Fox, is reporting how grossly incompetent you are…maybe it’s because it’s true… #Trump #Coronavirus

Why the hell can you not act like a leader for one damn second? Stop whining! Two million American have lost their jobs over the past week or so under YOUR so-called leadership.
