NYT Reporter Scolds Trump: ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ a Better Campaign Song

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"I appreciate that Donald Trump uses the Rolling Stones song, 'You Can't Always Get What You Want," because right now he can't get favorability ratings or an efficient government. The real reason he did this, and Obama by this same time passed a federal stimulus package, which you might not like, but actually was very bold and he actually legislated. Donald Trump is not legislating. He's not leading. What he is doing is like you said, trying to create an enemy. And the enemy he's trying to create is the free press. And he's saying, we're the enemy of the people, we're the opposition, according to Steve Bannon, who seems to be running the show. And apparently, we are doing fake news by simply reporting the facts, reporting these Russia connections which are extremely disturbing, reporting the fact that Michael Flynn lied, Donald Trump knew about it, sat on it for about a month, and then only after "The Washington Post," again, the press, reported it, then he forced the resignation of Michael Flynn. So this is what the press is doing. We're not rolling over, we're not being state TV. And the fact that trump did this, I think, is he's assuaging his insecurity, his anxiety, in what seems, so far, to be a very impotent administration that does not have a national security adviser."
