President Donald Trump railed against the “fake media” in a series of Twitter postings early on Friday, going as far as threatening to cancel daily news briefings at the White House.

A political firestorm has engulfed Washington since Trump’s sacking of FBI director James Comey, who was leading the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump election campaign and Russia.

Trump once again went after Comey, whom he had called a “showboat” and “grandstander” in an interview on Thursday.
“James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press” Trump threatened on Twitter.

The White House has offered contradicting explanations for Trump’s surprise firing of Comey on Tuesday, fueling accusations he was attempting to shut down the FBI probe.

In addition to blasting Comey, the president also took the opportunity to lash out at the press: “The fake media is working overtime today.

“As a very active president with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy,” Trump said.

He wrote that “all future” White House briefings with reporters could be scrapped and replaced with written responses to questions.

You are talking out of your ass if you think trump's 'spoilt-kid' acts deserve any sense of support or reasoning with.

Sacking the FBI director while he was being investigated by same. Jonathan tried removing jega before 2015 election and hell was let loose in nigeria and that is a complete joke compared to trump's sack of james comey. He then threatens him!

If you know nothing about a topic, dont comment

There is such thing as a threshold of morality which i wouldnt expect dim persons to understand. Having consensual sex with your grandma maybe legal but its definitely immoral aff.

Trump has consistently crossed the moral threshold acceptable for even 2nd world country leaders needless say america. There is a reason every single president since nixon released their tax returns publicly as well as put their businesses in a blind trust before assuming the presidency without legal obligations to do any of that.

If you support trump's acts and turn around to condemn corrupt nigerian politicians, then you are retardedd afff

It's obvious you just head of the word aff hence the repeated use.

My only question to you is what section of the law has he broken. It's morally right to invade another country because the people there don't agree with you ideals
