TRUMP TALKS FACING DOWN THE FAKE NEWS IN 2024: ‘TRUTH SOCIAL’S BEEN AMAZING’
This week Donald Trump spoke to RSBN about battling the mainstream media as he heads into the 2024 presidential campaign, addressing the differences between his 2016 run, his 2020 bid, and his current race to reclaim the White House.
He told RSBN’s Brian Glenn during an exclusive interview at Mar-a-Lago, “The media is fake. It is corrupt. It’s bad – not all of it, but a lot of it; Most of it. It is very bad and very dangerous. And it’s hard to believe when you think: They don’t want borders, they don’t want a good education, they don’t want tax cuts. I gave them the biggest tax cut in history, I gave them the biggest regulation cut in history. They don’t want it.”
He noted the media has been selective in its coverage of issues like “the disaster in Afghanistan, that horrible, horrible period, which is the most embarrassing time for the United States.”

He touched on the media’s obsessive coverage of his 2016 campaign for president, noting that “we kind of insulted them” and that the press promised they would “never let that happen again.”
“And then, for 2020, they were bad no matter what you did,” he added. “…and that continues to this day. They won’t cover positive things. And if something is negative, they make it extremely negative. They lie and they make it out.”
Trump has emphasized the power of his social media platform, Truth Social, in his new battle against the American press. “True socialization has been amazing,” he said. “…True social media has become real media, it has become real. And I express my words very well with the truth.”
His Twitter account was reinstated in November 2022, and Meta President Nick Clegg recently announced that Trump’s accounts would be reactivated on their platforms in the coming weeks.

Trump noted that Big Tech wanted him back on their platform, “but you know, it’s not as exciting as it used to be because there’s no dialogue, no people fighting a little bit — fighting mentally.”
How he used to make statements on Facebook or Twitter, “And all of a sudden it’s a red flag.”
In 2020, the media turned their full force against Trump. From stirring false and now-debunked narratives of Russian collusion to suppressing sensitive and politically important stories like the shocking contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, the media has been unrepentantly hostile to Trump for years.
Jeff Garth of the Columbia Journalism Review recently published the results of an 18-month investigation into the false narratives swirling around the media “Russia hoax.” According to a 2022 study by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, in his report, Garth noted, “Today, the U.S. media has the lowest credibility — 26 percent — of forty countries.”
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover has sparked countless conservative account re-alignments with President Trump. A riveting, multi-drop release of the shocking “Twitter Files” at Musk’s behest also exposed the stinking corruption lurking beneath the surface of Big Tech.
Twitter files have uncovered evidence of dirty collusion between the big tech giant’s federal agencies, revealing yet another way information has been manipulated to control a weaponized narrative against President Donald Trump.
Indeed, in a recent policy pitch in January, Trump laid out a multi-pronged plan to fight back against big tech giants who are caught censoring content. He proposed a seven-year “cooling off period” for activists involved in censorship schemes or information surveillance, as reported by RSBN.
A 2024 presidential bid promises to look a little different now that Trump has the power to use free speech in his own platform. He said, “I think there’s been a really, really big development. It’s doing tremendously well. Millions of people, and you’re not going to be a red flag.”
