This morning Trump pushed back on a Washington Post story that suggested his advisors had given hem reams of opposition research on the four radical socialist congresswomen known as The Squad. Trump said it was “total Fake News”:
The Amazon Washington Post front page story yesterday was total Fake News. They said “Advisors wrote new talking points and handed him reams of opposition research on the four Congresswomen.” Now really, does that sound like me? What advisors, there were no talking points,….

….except for those stated by me, & “reams of paper” were never given to me. It is a made up story meant to demean & belittle. The Post had no sources. The facts remain the same, that we have 4 Radical Left Congresswomen who have said very bad things about Israel & our Country!

He’s right, that doesn’t really sound like him.
According to The Hill, the most the media photographed on his desk last week was a sheet of paper or two on Omar, one of which he held up in his cabinet meeting.
Trump went on to hammer the MSM for their “constant lies”:
The Mainstream Media is out of control. They constantly lie and cheat in order to get their Radical Left Democrat views out their for all to see. It has never been this bad. They have gone bonkers, & no longer care what is right or wrong. This large scale false reporting is sick!
