    Question for President @realDonaldTrump - Has today's shooting of #journalists in #Annapolis caused you to reflect on past statements labeling the media the "enemy of the people" #FakeNews and the "opposition party"?https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1006891643985854464 …

    So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea. 500 days ago they would have “begged” for this deal-looked like war would break out. Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!

        President Trump is right in everything he has said about the media. You proved his point with your first tweet. "splaining" it wont cover the fact that your intent was to make your mushy minded readers blame the President. You knew exactly what you were doing

        I’m sure it has caused him to reflect. Maybe just to ensure his words at no time ever stated things as such. I can’t see in anyway shape or form how this could be blamed on our Commander in Chief. It seems to be counterproductive to blame every act of violence on a single person.

        Question for Jim LaPorta: How you get paid to write anything at all? This shooting had exactly zero to do with Trump. The motive predated his rise to power and is clearly unrelated to any general pushback against bias and partisan-based inaccuracies.

        Do you know something about this shooting?Has it been confirmed as a political hit job?If so, then report the news, not your hate filled BS trying to blame @POTUS for everything. Did you call out Maxine Waters? This is exactly why you are #Fakenews and an enemy of the people

        I’m going with no it’s not a political hit job. Nor did it have anything to do with our President. But I wouldn’t classify @JimLaPorta as fake news. Despite our political differences, he reports facts. If he’s wrong, he owns up. No need for the accusations.

        That is sad that after such a tragedy, you get straight into a political tweet. And why attacking the President? Shame on you for using such a tragedy to try and make a point.

        Really? Interesting how you included his past comments on the media. You brought those up for a specific reason. Just shortly after he killed those against the paper. Blaming the President without directly blaming him.
