US President Donald Trump called journalists “the most dishonest human beings on earth” and blamed them for trying to pit him against the CIA.
Speaking at the CIA headquarters, he said he has been “running a war” with the media and warned them of consequences for false reporting .
We had a massive field of people. You saw them. Packed. I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks, and they show an empty field. I think they’re going to pay a big price.Donald Trump
Trump said his first stop was the CIA as he wanted to dispel media lies about him having differences with the top spy agency.
“They sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community. And I just want to let you know, the reason you’re the number-one stop is exactly the opposite. They understand that, too.”

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
