AP’s Lemire: Labeling Us the Opposition Trump ‘Continues to Undermine American Institutions’

‘It is again this president putting the media, labeling us as the opposition party in an unprecedented way’

EXCERPT.

LEMIRE: "As someone who covers the White House every day, it would be an honor to be nominated for a Trumpy, which is what I assume this will be called. I certainly hope — look, it is awards season, maybe there is a Rose Garden ceremony, we can all get dressed up for it. If you win, you go on stage and you make sure you thank your editor before the orchestra plays you off. On a more serious note, it is again this president putting the media, labeling us as the opposition party in an unprecedented way, which I’m sure thrills a number of his supporters, but also continues to undermine American institutions."
