TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump, amid his own swirling controversies, advised United States Coast Guard Academy graduates that while things aren’t always fair, ‘you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.’
‘Never, never, never give up. Things will work out just fine,’ he said in New London, Connecticut, Wednesday.
The comment appeared clearly in reference to the questions about his treatment for FBI Director James Comey and the coverage of his attempt to get the FBI director to stop an inquiry into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Then, dropping the pretext, he bemoaned the media coverage of his presidency.
‘Look at the way I have been treated lately, especially by the media,’ he said. ‘No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly. You can’t let them get you down, you can’t let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams.’ “
