Trump Rails Against ‘Fake News’ for Blaming Him for the ‘Division and Hatred’ in the Country
On Sunday night, President Donald Trump lashed out at the media for blaming him for the “division and hatred” in the country.
“The Fake News is doing everything in their power to blame Republicans, Conservatives and me for the division and hatred that has been going on for so long in our Country,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Actually, it is their Fake & Dishonest reporting which is causing problems far greater than they understand!”

Trump’s tweet comes on the same week as Cesar Sayoc, who attended a Trump rally and had Trumpian slogans and photos plastered on his van was arrested for sending explosive devices to CNN, the Obamas, the Clintons and others.
The tweet also comes just one day after suspected shooter Robert Bowers opened fire in a Pittsburgh synagogue, killing 11.
Bowers was also reportedly sparked to action, in part, over rhetoric about the migrant caravan.
