Day 2 as US President: Trump says love you CIA, hate you media


"Among other things, Trump had suggested in the days ahead of his swearing in that the US intelligence community had adopted Nazi tactics to undermine him and accused the exiting CIA chief of being the leaker of fake news. "I always call them the dishonest media, but they treated me nicely (on the Inauguration speech)," Trump began in an ad hominem attack that seemed ill-suited the occasion or his priorities as the new President. Then, after a stream of consciousness digressions, he returned to the theme, complaining about how the media had reported that there were only 250,000 at his inauguration, even though by his own estimate there were "a million, million and a half people," and warning ominously, "I think they're going to pay a big price. "Trump also picked on the media for misreporting that he had a bust of Martin Luther King removed from the Oval Office. A pool report did mention the bust had been removed but later sent out a correction saying the error was caused by the reporter not being able to spot it in a crowded room.The new President also chose the occasion to explain that he had a bust of Winston Churchill reinstated in the Oval Office because he liked Churchill.
