Trump: Violence is the fault of fake media – Pages

It is the fake media that are at the root of the violence, he told reporters at a brief press conference held in front of the White House on Friday.

A Trump fanatic was arrested last week on suspicion of sending bombs to several people who criticized the US president. Among those who received bombs were former President Barack Obama and his family, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, former president Bill Clinton and scout Robert de Niro.

On Saturday, a man killed 11 people in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. The man had expressed his hatred against the migrants and against the Jews.

Donald Trump has been severely criticized for the fact that, by his language, he runs the risk of provoking extremist sentiments, for example when he speaks of an "invasion" of migrants.

Many journalists create violence by not writing the truth, Trump said.

If the media wrote properly, carefully and fairly, there would be much less violence, he said.

A war of words between Trump and the media is in principle underway since the start of his campaign for the 2016 presidential election.

Recently, the US president also stressed that journalists would not be able to report on its success.

During the many appearances of Trump before the interim elections in the House of Representatives and in parts of the Senate on Tuesday, he often referred to the "false media", which still generates a lot of noise from the public.
