Chris Cuomo, US journalist who works for CNN, widely announced his opinion about Trump’s tweet, in which the president said that Vladimir Putin is not the enemy for America, the free press is. Cuomo called such Trump’s statement ugly and unoriginal. And also, the journalist said that such statements mean that the president “hates what makes America truly great”.

Here’s my closing argument: this tweet was bad for you, Mr. President. Here it is.
Donald Trumps’ tweet: The Summit with Russia was a great success [nobody thinks that], except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear…
This is ugly, and it is unoriginal. But most importantly, it is an admission that you hate your country. How so? Here’s the case. You know this phrase was an operative threat to murder opposition in the French revolution, right? You know this phrase was identified as a part of campaign to eniolate individuals literally, who disagreed with the supreme leader. His predecessors stole it, used it specifically with artists and thinkers that threatened his narrow views of humanity.
Did you know that Mao used it during his murderous campaigns?
America, the country you lead, was formed in defiance of strong men, bullies, and the idea that “might” makes right. A free press is a metaphor for what makes America great. So, you have now admitted that you are against what we are all about.
And a real problem now is for you to convince people that you don’t hate what makes America truly great. I know in the past you’ve tried to play that you respect the media and that you know we’re important. Like you said it when a bunch of us got murdered. But it didn’t take long to come back to this. I knew you didn’t lower those flags after the Maryland newspaper shooting right away for a reason.
Just like you won’t really own how Russia did the US dirty in the election. Why? Because you see things through the lens of what is good for you in these matters. So, right now, you want people to hate us. But, as the old expression goes, if you point a finger at someone else, there are three pointing back at you, and a thumb that’s kind of nowhere, depending on where you put it. But that’s not the point.
The point is, to say Putin isn’t the enemy, the free press is – doesn’t worry me. I know the truth. I’ve traveled the world and I know our media is envied and perhaps the best check against the abusive power that can lead to a Stalin or a Mao.
The real worry should be for you. Do you really think that people will keep a president who hates what their country is all about.
