President Donald J. Trump is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin tomorrow in Helsinki, Finland, but the commander-in-chief predicts that ‘no matter how well [he does]’ at the summit, that America’s mainstream media will still criticize him.
President asserted that he could be "given the great city of Moscow as retribution for all of the sins and evils committed by Russia" but then would return to "criticism that it wasn’t good enough – that I should have gotten Saint Petersburg in addition!"
Heading to Helsinki, Finland – looking forward to meeting with President Putin tomorrow. Unfortunately, no matter how well I do at the Summit, if I was given the great city of Moscow as retribution for all of the sins and evils committed by Russia...

...over the years, I would return to criticism that it wasn’t good enough – that I should have gotten Saint Petersburg in addition! Much of our news media is indeed the enemy of the people and all the Dems...

He also added that as the "enemy of the people" the news media is responsible for so much of the "hatred and dissension in our country."
...know how to do is resist and obstruct! This is why there is such hatred and dissension in our country – but at some point, it will heal!

These tweets today come after numerous messages from the president pondering why President Obama was not receiving more criticism for his previous actions with Russia. Yesterday, President Trump questioned why President Obama did not do more to stop the 12 Russian nationals indicted on Friday from interfering in the 2016 presidential election. He also added that the Fake New Media would not report the truth on the subject.
These Russian individuals did their work during the Obama years. Why didn’t Obama do something about it? Because he thought Crooked Hillary Clinton would win, that’s why. Had nothing to do with the Trump Administration, but Fake News doesn’t want to report the truth, as usual!
