Today Donald Trump gave his first prez press conference by himself. It was a spectacle to be hold. My twitter feed was burning up with people all over the world making comments. And at the same time I was channel flipping to see how each station showed it.
During it he reused his now famous phrase. "Fake news". The man repeats fake news as much as he can like he is trying to hypnotize the masses. Let's be honest though. The shit has been working. Got him the White House.
But what about Fake News ? Media would have you believe fake news is news that Trump does not like. News that treats him unfair. Or commentators on different shows that talk smack about him. That is how media defines fake news.
Let's consider something. Trump has been in the media for over 30 years. He has spoken to media personalities when they was not in front of a live camera. In other words he knows how they really feel, think and operate. His view of fake news can be something different.
During the presser he said he knew how media would react if he talked smack about Russia. I mean the man went through about two or three scenarios. On live tv Trump went meta on us.
He knows how media can be a game to manipulate the masses. So while he plays along with the game he at the same time pokes fun at the media for playing it. He knows media is not fake. But the players in it and their motives are fake.
But how many of his supporters see it the same way ? How many take his fake news line and focus it on their learned hatred of MSM through years of right leaning radio. Does Trump know they see it that way but choose to let them stay dumb to keep their support ? Who the hell knows! Trump is the master marketer who fucked around and found himself in the WH.
In the end though he may end up getting a dose of some real news when the masses wakeup from his mindf@#$ trance.

All news sources, whatever their political, religious or national leanings, at some moment present maybe not completely fake news, but let's say a sort of altered truth. What I didn't find so honest in Trump's conference was when he complained about the leaks of his phone conversations with the Mexican and Australian leaders, this is not a media problem it's a White House problem, and the White House people should fix this and not complain about it, if there is a mole their, find him and charge him with whatever is pertinent.

What I see is that we finally have a President that represents the American people. I think people need to see that he has been saying the same things since 1980.
