Hours after CBS News aired an interview with President Trump where he described the EU, Russia and China as “foes” of the US when it comes to matters of trade (eliciting a shocked response from European Council President Donald Tusk) and said he’s going in to his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin with “low expectations,” Trump continued to prep his followers for an outpouring of negative media coverage in a series of tweets where he lamented that no matter what he achieves in Helsinki, journalists will bash him for being “not good enough” or for “kowtowing to Putin.”
As Trump pointed out, “[t]here hasn’t been a missile or rocket fired in 9 months in North Korea, there have been no nuclear tests and we got back our hostages. Who knows how it will all turn out in the end, but why isn’t the Fake News talking about these wonderful facts? Because it is FAKE NEWS!”
And as he prepares to met with Putin, Trump complained that “no matter how well I do at the Summit, if I was given the great city of Moscow as retribution for all of the sins and evils committed by Russia over the years, I would return to criticism that it wasn’t good enough.”

Heading to Helsinki, Finland – looking forward to meeting with President Putin tomorrow. Unfortunately, no matter how well I do at the Summit, if I was given the great city of Moscow as retribution for all of the sins and evils committed by Russia…

…over the years, I would return to criticism that it wasn’t good enough – that I should have gotten Saint Petersburg in addition! Much of our news media is indeed the enemy of the people and all the Dems…

Trump also highlighted the “dissension in our country” that is a product of all of these criticisms…
…know how to do is resist and obstruct! This is why there is such hatred and dissension in our country – but at some point, it will heal!

…Thanks to the “tolerant” left.
