President Trump is having A Day™️. On Thursday, more than 100 newspapers from across the country joined together to condemn the president's aggressive attacks on the media. Instead of ignoring the editorials or responding to them constructively, President Trump did what he does best: plunged himself into chaos.

Led by The Boston Globe, members of the mainstream media decided to publish dozens of editorials defending their work and their constitutional right to exist. The campaign was organized under the hashtag #EnemyOfNone. Please join us in standing up for a free press. #EnemyOfNone. https://t.co/Sz8BSHzwiq — marjorie pritchard (@marjoriepritch) August 12, 2018 We are, at the Sun-Times, the enemy of unchecked authority and undeserved privilege. We are the enemy of the notion that the only way up is to hold somebody else down. #EnemyOfNone https://t.co/PBdIgW0pcp — Chicago Sun-Times (@Suntimes) August 15, 2018 No wonder Trump went into a tizzy. Note how our calm, cool, and collected President uses CAPS LOCK in response. THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY. It is very bad for our Great Country....BUT WE ARE WINNING! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 16, 2018 Most of his wrath was reserved for the The Boston Globe: The Boston Globe, which was sold to the the Failing New York Times for 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS (plus 800 million dollars in losses & investment), or 2.1 BILLION DOLLARS, was then sold by the Times for 1 DOLLAR. Now the Globe is in COLLUSION with other papers on free press. PROVE IT! — Donald J.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 16, 2018 For what it's worth, Trump appears to have been slightly off when it came to the Globe's sale. John Henry purchased it from the New York Times in 2013 for $70 million — slightly more than the $1 Trump mentioned. Facts, schmacts! Just another day in Trump's America.
