Hours after the nation’s five senior-most NatSec officials declared Russian election interference “real” & “pervasive”, Trump says this: “Putin: had a great meeting, got along really well...Now, we’re being hindered by the Russian hoax."

Do not miss or minimize this: the spokesperson for the US President will not utter the words the “press is NOT the enemy of the people”.
@jimsciutto
Asked multiple times if press is the “enemy of the people”, @PressSec does not answer and instead refers to a prepared list of complaints about the media.

One day after making two false claims from the podium - on the basis of the #Russia investigation and the debunked claim that media revealed OBL’s use of sat phone - @PressSec lashes out at “misinformation” from media.

Standing next to @PressSec who on Monday accused some in the FBI of corruption, FBI’s Wray responds: "I can assure the American people that the men and the women of the FBI, from the director all the way on down, are going to follow our oaths and do our jobs”.

A few minutes later, he blamed Dems for playing politics on immigration because it helps them politically
@sarahcwestwood
There you have it: "I would personally prefer before." Trump acknowledges he would like to force a shutdown over the border wall before the midterms because Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have told him it's a good idea.

Trump supporters in PA cheer when he says he had a “great meeting” with Putin in Helsinki
@mkraju
Replying to @mkraju
On day in which his national security team warned gravely about the Russian threat, Trump says: “We are being hindered by the Russian hoax.” And he is reinventing what happened in Helsinki, says he was just conducting “diplomacy,” not mentioning his siding w Russia over US govt

This portion of the rally is just Trump listing grievances with media coverage of North Korea and Helsinki at length

'Trump trashes media as 'fake, fake disgusting news' at rally'

"Only negative stories from the fakers back there," the president declared.
'With each denunciation, the crowd jeered and screamed at the press in the holding pen.
The inflammatory performance came just hours after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to distance herself from Trump's previous assertions that the media is the "enemy" of the American people. Pressed during a White House briefing on the issue, Sanders said Trump "has made his position known."
In a heated exchange with reporters, she recited a litany of complaints against the press and blamed the media for inflaming tensions in the country.
"As far as I know, I'm the first press secretary in the history of the United States that's required Secret Service protection," she said, accusing the media of continuing "to ratchet up the verbal assault against the president and everyone in this administration." '

All of these remarks were said today.

FBI Dir. Wray: Russia is a "threat."
DNI Coats: Russia is trying to "weaken & divide the U.S."
Pres. Trump: Russia is a "hoax."

I don't know if I'm imagining it but it seemed to me that Scrotus was more venomous to the press in Pa than I've seen before. He's definitely picking a fight and it's going to end very badly.

I was struck by the kids cheering behind him tonight. Somehow it all seemed much worse than usual.

The fight with the Kochs is interesting because Pence is their man in the WH. I've long seen a scenario where Pence is dropped from the 2020 ticket and replaced by Ivanka. It ensures a succession after 2024 or whenever Trump chooses to give up the Presidency. Just like in North Korea. It's my nightmare scenario....

Trump's rally's now have a whiff of "Jonestown" about them. Disciples blindly following their charlatan leader.

This would be a welcome development.

There's good news somewhere NorthWest

It is ramping up in an ever more distubing way, Gump and North, but there will be no relief. More and more rallies in the lead up to midterms. More and more of this dangerous incitement, and ramping up of lies. More and more as the Oaf feels threatened, the more and more he needs that comfort blanket. These crowds are the cultish true believers, but it is also an entertainment for them. That, plus these circuses are the perfect arena for feeding the insatiable Oafego. It is getting much more dangerous, and the supine repugs in Congress just stand by. And, if the Qanon element increases, the danger of violent acts will also.

Umm, Donald, it was on the telly. Liz was waiting for you, dunceboy.

Bearing in mind the title of the current thread, I thought it very apt.

He really is unhinged, isn't he?!
