President Donald Trump on Saturday criticized mainstream media over unfair coverage while arguing that Democrats have embraced a communist ideology.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, the president said he has achieved repeated political victories despite overwhelmingly negative media coverage.
“I had to run against not one Candidate, but two, Sleepy Joe and Kamala, which has never happened before, against almost 100% negative press and Fake News,” he wrote. “All I do is WIN, often against all odds.”
President Trump said news organizations failed to acknowledge his election victory and instead quickly resumed criticizing his administration.
“There’s no, ‘Gee, he won, he did a great job!'” he added. “There’s no saying, ‘Maybe we were wrong about him, the people were right’ or, maybe, ‘Congratulations, we wish you Great Success for our Country!’ No, but after I won the Election FOR THE THIRD TIME, the same people start immediately, all over again.”
The president said the media should recognize that it has been unable to defeat him politically.
“Isn’t it time they say, ‘We give up, we can’t beat him.'” He continued, “TRUMP IS THE BEST POLITICAL ATHLETE OF ALL TIME! CONGRATULATIONS, MR. PRESIDENT… DO A GREAT JOB, SIR, RUNNING OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
President Trump also argued that his election victory reflected a decline in public trust in the media.
“With only bad Press and Fake News, I won the Presidential Election IN A LANDSLIDE,” he wrote. “Therefore, the Media has NO CREDIBILITY! If it did, that Historic Win would not have been possible.”
In separate posts, President Trump accused Democrats of moving beyond socialism toward communism.
“I would often say America will never be a Socialist Country, and I was 100% correct,” he wrote.
“The Dumocrats skipped Socialism, and went all the way down to Communism. AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY! The Radical Left Lunatics, often referred to as Dumocrats, have lost control of their Party,” he wrote.
