Trump hijacked a commencement address to Coast Guard grads to whine about the media and how unfairly he has been treated.
Video:
Trump said, “Look at the way I’ve been treated lately, especially by the media. No politician in history and I say this with great surety; no politician has been treated worse or more unfairly.”

Trump idea of inspiring people who will defend their country is to whine about how badly the press is treating him. How much more of this humiliation can the country put up with until we all Republicans, Democrats, and everyone in between agree that enough is enough?
Donald Trump is not acting like a man who is fit to be president.
The media doing its job and reporting on his possible obstruction of justice by firing the FBI Director is not unfair treatment. The media reporting that the President happily leaked deeply classified information to hostile foreign power is not “unfair.”
Trump thinks that nothing outside of love and praise is good media coverage.
All of the President’s problems are self-inflicted. If he didn’t fire Comey, leak classified information, make insane claims like Obama bugged him, and wasn’t colluding with an enemy of America to win an election; one suspects that his coverage might have a different tone.
President Trump is looking like a president on borrowed time, and ranting about the media won’t solve his problems.
