Media Distorts Trump's Iran Remarks

I wanna start, though, I wanna start here with President Donald J. Trump.

Um, friends, however much you dislike the media, it's justified.

It is.

It's totally justified.

These people, these people are professional deceivers.

This is not a r- a rhetorical device that I'm using here to engage in some sort of, uh, political theater or whatever.

These folks are dangerous.

They lie on a regular basis.

They have proven time and time again that they cannot and that they should not be trusted.

These people, I...

Listen, i- i- words fail me, really, at how bad this is.

So you know Trump was speaking at Grand Island, Nebraska here a couple of days ago.

I believe it was the 5th, which would have been, what? Monday, I guess.

Trump was speaking, campaigning there, and he made some comments that even some people on the left are now coming out and saying, um, that the way that they're being represented in the media is misleading, is delusionally misleading.

So I wanna start here today.

You've probably heard this.

Um, I wanna play what Trump said in context here.

He's speaking, again, at a rally in Nebraska, and he's talking about the Iran war.

He's talking about high gas prices.

Now, what Trump is doing here, you can say he needed to communicate this more clearly, whatever you wanna say.

That's, that's a different discussion.

But to claim, as a matter of fact, as, by the way, many news outlets, so-called news outlets around the country have done, to claim unequivocally that President Trump was calling on Iran to bomb the cities of Los Angeles and/or San Diego is beyond disingenuous.

I, I'll go as far to say if, if someone is stating this as a factual recounting of what actually happened, you should never, hear me say this, never believe what they say again.

They have lost your trust.

They are not worthy of your trust, my friends.
