We love the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump had tweeted:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea. 500 days ago they would have \u201cbegged\u201d for this deal-looked like war would break out. Our Country\u2019s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1006891643985854464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 13, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Blitzer was prompted by CNN analyst David Gregory, who kept turning away from Blitzer so he could pontificate directly into the camera. He stated, &#8220;It\u2019s so unoriginal, too. There\u2019s no president or political figure who likes the media. And so he\u2019s trying to outdo Nixon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blitzer complained, \u201cIt\u2019s one thing not to like the media; we\u2019ve all worked in this news business for a long time. Everybody&#8217;s always criticizing us and not happy with our coverage, whether it was President Clinton or President Bush or President\u2014they&#8217;re all criticized. But it\u2019s another thing to say; it\u2019s not North Korea, it\u2019s not Iran; it\u2019s not Russia; it\u2019s not China; it\u2019s journalists like us who are the enemy of the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gregory stated loftily:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s one of the things that bothered me most about the president is, I don\u2019t even take what he\u2019s saying seriously. It\u2019s that he\u2019s so casual about throwing out language, and you really undermine the presidency when you do that, because there will be a time, after Donald trump, believe it or not. And he is doing damage to this notion of \u201cDo we believe what the president says?\u201d But we live in an environment where social media, principally, allows so much hyperbole, but now the president engages in it and it becomes kind of the bloodstream of our public discourse, where you could say something that over the top, and it will be the President of the United States who says it. And I don\u2019t take it seriously, which is a problem too, because he\u2019s not really being serious when he says it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Blitzer concluded, \u201cA lot of his supporters believe that we are \u2018the enemy of the American people.\u2019 And that is a really, really awful situation. We are not the enemy of the American people. We love the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Video below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed video fluid-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I04DLv45TNo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"mt-1-s mb-4-s my-5-ns\">\n<div class=\"tags ls-1 tt-u f-xxs pb-4-s\"><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/31819\/cnns-wolf-blitzer-complains-we-are-not-enemy-hank-berrien\">http:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/31819\/cnns-wolf-blitzer-complains-we-are-not-enemy-hank-berrien<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=100091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100091\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=100091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=100091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=100091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
