FAMOUS LAST WORDS

“The press has become so dishonest, that if we don’t talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people, a tremendous disservice, we have to talk about it … “The press is out of control … the level of dishonesty is out of control. . . . Many of our nation’s reporters will not tell you the truth and will not treat the wonderful people of this country with the respect that they deserve.” – President Donald Trump, 2/16/17
