Trump is known to have very tough words for the media which he lashed out in the course of the G7 meeting in France over his recent decisions in the US-China Trade War and the predicted recession.

Chris Mills Rodrigo has the story in The Hill.

President Trump repeatedly took aim at media coverage of him during his meeting with the Group of Seven (G-7) countries in France over the weekend as he faces international blowback from tariffs leveled against China and the specter of a possible recession.

The topics the president tweeted were misrepresented by news media included discussions with world leaders in Biarritz and his reference to himself as the “the chosen one” to negotiate with China on trade.

“When I looked up to the sky and jokingly said “I am the chosen one,” at a press conference two days ago, referring to taking on Trade with China, little did I realize that the media would claim that I had a ‘Messiah complex.’ They knew I was kidding, being sarcastic, and just having fun,” he tweeted Saturday, the day he arrived in France for the summit.
