In Campaign-Style Rally in Michigan, Trump Attacks Migrants, Media, Democrats & FBI

HeadlineApr 30, 2018

President Trump lashed out at the media, Democrats, the FBI and his other perceived enemies at a virulent campaign-style rally in Washington Township, Michigan, on Saturday night. He attended the rally instead of the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which he also skipped last year. Instead, in Michigan, he attacked journalists and the media.

President Donald Trump: “You know, in the old days, when the newspapers used to write, they’d put names down. Today they say, 'Sources have said that President Trump…' Sources. They never say who the source is. They don’t have sources. The sources don’t exist in many cases. They don’t have sources. And the sources, in many cases, don’t exist. These are very dishonest people, many of them. They are very, very dishonest people.”
