President Donald Trump has been on a media warpath as every speech he makes includes digs at what he calls "fake news." However, his administration is not completely behind him on that agenda. On Friday, Trump tweeted that the media is the "enemy of the American people’ which sparked the media to talk to Trump’s administration and get their opinion. On Sunday, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis says that he has no issue with the press. "I’ve had some rather contentious times with the press. But no, the press, as far as I’m concerned, are a constituency that we deal with," Mattis added.<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-post-video","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":26,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1908],"class_list":["post-20099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","hentry","category-video","post_format-post-format-video"],"acf":{"subheadline":"President Donald Trump has been on a media warpath as every speech he makes includes digs at what he calls "fake news."
