United States President Donald J. Trump has been in a battle with the major media in the United States for a long-time. Calling CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times to name but a few of his targets, “Fake News”, the President as he often does has taken to Twitter to express his views to the world.
What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately. They get record ratings, & the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time & effort!

I never said the pandemic was a Hoax! Who would say such a thing? I said that the Do Nothing Democrats, together with their Mainstream Media partners, are the Hoax. They have been called out & embarrassed on this, even admitting they were wrong, but continue to spread the lie!
