President Trump tweeted about the media and terrorism Friday morning, starting out with a retweet of a segment on Fox & Friends discussing how a New York Times editor apologize for his tweet comparing the New England Patriots’ turnout for President Obama in 2015 versus their visit with Trump this month.
The editor ended up apologizing, writing, “Bad tweet by me. Terrible tweet. Wish I Could say it’s complicated, but no, this one is pretty straight forward. I’m an idiot.”

The president then addressed the terror attack in Paris this week ahead of Sunday’s election.
“Another terrorist attack in Paris. The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!”

Finally, he took a general shot at the media over the standards he’s being held to for his first 100 days in office.
“No matter how much I accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, & it has been a lot (including S.C.), media will kill!”
