Republican nominee Donald Trump made a surprising admission as he tested the microphones on stage at the Quickens Loan Arena on Thursday afternoon. “I love the media,” Trump joked. “They’re so honest. They’re such honorable people.” The dozens of reporters, delegates, and party officials hanging around the floor of the convention center laughed at the quip.Trump despises the media and frequently singles out reporters at his rallies for ridicule. The billionaire businessman is doing a walk-through of the convention center hours before his prime time address to the Republican National Convention, in which he’ll accept the GOP presidential nomination. Now before the mainstream media puts Trump on blast for these remarks, let me be the first to tell you that Trump is absolutely joking. This is a man who hates the mainstream news in America with a passion, he alone knows that organizations like Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN have all been in the business for decades to brainwash and lie to American citizens. This is just Trump blasting the media in America and nothing more. He has said it multiple times that America's media is one of the most distrustful groups in American History, and I'm sure Trump said this with a smirk on his face.
