‘All I want to do is MAGA!’ Trump rails against ‘dying magazines’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHours after being bashed by the UN’s Human Rights chief for “inciting” against the media, US President Donald Trump tweets another attack on journalists, saying all he wants to do “is MAGA!”
Trump says the “false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines” is making him wonder “WHY?”
After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY? All I want to do is #MAGA!

It’s not immediately clear what reporting he is referring to. MAGA stands for Make America Great Again, a Trump campaign slogan.
Earlier Wednesday, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein said Trump’s repeated criticism of US news outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN was “incitement for others to attack journalists.”
