Former British Prime Minister says that Trump's attack on the media, and use of term "fake news," is dangerous.

Courtesy of Politico:

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron called out Donald Trump’s attacks on the media, saying his use of term “fake news” was “dangerous.” 

Giving Transparency International UK’s annual lecture in London on Wednesday evening, Cameron said attacks on journalists were “bad news for the fight against corruption.” 

He then turned his attention to the U.S. president, saying: “When Donald Trump uses the term ‘fake news’ to describe CNN and the BBC, that is not just a questionable political tactic. It’s actually dangerous.”

“Of course broadcasters make mistakes and it’s right they correct them,” Cameron said. “But what is being attempted here goes far beyond that. It’s an attempt to question the whole legitimacy of organizations that have an important role in our democracy. 

“Let me put it like this. President Trump: ‘Fake news’ is not broadcasters criticizing you, it’s Russian bots and trolls targeting your democracy … pumping out untrue stories day after day, night after night.”

This is how the world sees the current Commander-in-Chief, as a thin skinned buffoon.

And they are correct to do so.

    Trump can't fire everybody who criticizes him -- so he'll just start WWIII. That's the way his mind thinks, I fear.

    Donald Trumps strategy is working. I’m coming across more and more people who believe the media lies. These people may not have the best critical thinking skills to begin with, but the country/world is full of them.

    Trump is supposedly going to visit those "losers" at the FBI.
    They should save themselves the trip and lock him up before he disappears in russia.

    More foreign criticism the better,might wake up congress.

    BULLSHIT!
    OMAROSA IS THE BLACK SARAH PALIN

    I would be the first to blame Trump but regarding Omarosa, she's a pain in the ASS and can't get along with anybody.


    (CNN) Omarosa Manigault Newman, a senior staffer who recently departed the White House and the only African-American drawing a top salary, said Thursday the "lack of diversity" was a challenge she grappled with.

    "It has been very, very challenging being the only African-American woman in the senior staff," Manigault Newman told ABC News' "Nightline" on Thursday.

      But I wonder just how much of that he actually hears.

      From what I've been reading, his staff works furiously to screen all of his news and information briefings, and we know he only believes what is said on Fox. The crazier and more volatile he's become, the more they insulate him from the negative coverage and feed him the positive stories.

      For all we know, he may not be hearing any of the criticism.

      And he's also delusional and thinks he's the most brilliant, handsome, sexy, healthy, successful person in the whole wide world, knows everything about everything, and never makes a mistake!

    well, duh! i think the world sees trump and not the American people. they saw moore be defeated in a republican state by a democrat. they see trump's rating with the public go down and down. they know it's just a matter of time before the fake president is removed. i see my trip to London come spring is going to be very interesting. one or another, i'm going to be doing a lot of explaining of American politics. it was easier the last time (2010) when all i had to worry about were football thugs.

      In many ways, the humiliating situation our country is in reminds me of what happened in Canada a few years ago. Rob Ford, the former mayor of Toronto, was involved in many scandals during his years of public service, including being caught on video smoking crack. Much like Trump, the news was constantly filled with stories of his latest disgrace.

      As outrageous as his behavior might have been, most people were confident that the citizens of Toronto would eventually manage to get him out of office and learn from their mistake.

      Everyone makes a bad choice every so often, and millions of Americans made a horrible one last November. Hopefully, at least SOME of them have learned from that mistake.
