….having fun. I was smiling as I looked up and around. The MANY reporters with me were smiling also. They knew the TRUTH…And yet when I saw the reporting, CNN, MSNBC and other Fake News outlets covered it as serious news & me thinking of myself as the Messiah. No more trust!

Good that he’s calling them out.
Via Fox News:
President Trump on Saturday dinged members of the media who he says took a comment about being “the chosen one” in tackling China a little too seriously — claiming that everyone knew he was being sarcastic.
Trump made the initial remark on Wednesday, when he talked to reporters about the escalating trade war with China. He said that someone had to take on China, and looked up at the sky in a dramatic flourish.
“Somebody had to do it – I am the chosen one,” he said. “Somebody had to do it, so I’m taking on China, I’m taking on China on trade and you know what? We’re winning.”
Trump’s remarks were followed Friday by both China and the U.S. announcing fresh tariffs on each other as tensions increased between the two countries. Trump also ordered U.S. companies to look for alternatives other than China with whom to do business.
Meanwhile while they tried to mock Trump, they did pitch Obama seriously as “the second coming.”
