President Trump was attending an event with sheriffs from across the country Wednesday when he heard that an anonymous administration official had written a scathing op-ed about internal White House "resistance" to his agenda. That didn't stop him from letting his criticism about "the dishonest media" fly.
"This is what we have to deal with, you know, the dishonest media," he said. "It's really a disgrace." Deciding that denouncing The New York Times for publishing the piece wasn't enough, Trump swiveled to face the cameras. "Nobody has done what this administration has done in terms of getting things passed, and getting things through," he said.
