Trump Slams CNN Report Claiming He Wanted to Replace Sessions with Pruitt: ‘Dishonest and Corrupt’ Media!
And now, a tweet from the president.
Donald Trump is going after the media again (big shock I know) — this time over the new report suggesting that he sought, earlier this week, to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions with EPA administrator Scott Pruitt.
Both cabinet officials have been a source of frustration for Trump over the last few months, and yesterday, CNN heard from sources that Trump once thought about giving the Attorney General job to Pruitt in order to shake off the plethora of controversies bogging down the latter this week.
Evidently, Trump noticed this report, and he doesn’t approve of it.
Do you believe that the Fake News Media is pushing hard on a story that I am going to replace A.G. Jeff Sessions with EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, who is doing a great job but is TOTALLY under siege? Do people really believe this stuff? So much of the media is dishonest and corrupt!

Trump also spent the morning tweeting about about China as economic tensions with Beijing continues to rise. He retweeted a statement he made yesterday about how there’s no trade war happening — though China says they will retaliate if Trump goes ahead with his plan to put more tariffs on them for $100 billion.
We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S. Now we have a Trade Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with Intellectual Property Theft of another $300 Billion. We cannot let this continue!

China, which is a great economic power, is considered a Developing Nation within the World Trade Organization. They therefore get tremendous perks and advantages, especially over the U.S. Does anybody think this is fair. We were badly represented. The WTO is unfair to U.S.
