The question I was asked most today by fellow World Leaders, who think the USA is doing so well and is stronger than ever before, happens to be, “Mr. President, why does the American media hate your Country so much? Why are they rooting for it to fail?”

The media simply creates a profitable storyline. The more it can whip people into a frenzy, the more profit. They simple pander to the emotional fury of those who cannot contain their anger over the trite and inconsequential and merely exploit it. Strategic journalism.

@EugenieLaBorgia The question is not about the media , rather the veracity of his staement.

@RodionRomanovitch You've based your question on a media publication.

@EugenieLaBorgia I've based my question on what Donald Trump said one hour ago.

@RodionRomanovitch Always use common sense - far mor accurate than speculation.

@EugenieLaBorgia I simply quoted what he said. Do you believe him ?

@RodionRomanovitch Belief in the words of any who practice politics can be fragile at best - but, like a well-written novel, a few lines of a page does not determine the nature of the story.

@EugenieLaBorgia I admire your deftness in dancing around a very direct question.

The point is however , what he said was not an aberration , or a gaffe , or a misspeak , or something that needs to parsed. It was entirely typical and just further illuminates the way in which Trump creates his own reality with complete impunity .... at least among those who support or seek to defend him.

The rest of us know better of course.

@RodionRomanovitch You know with some of these dictionary words like 'coworker' and 'overrun', they should have left the hyphen in. 'Coworker' is the worst, I think.
