Just one week after the Capital Gazette shooting in Annapolis, MD, President Donald Trump again publicly slammed the media, railing against reporters at his Montana rally Thursday night.

I see the way they write, he told the crowd. Theyre so damn dishonest. And I dont mean all of them. Because some of the finest people I know are journalists. Really. Hard to believe when I say that. I hate to say it but I have to say. But 75% of those people are downright dishonest. Downright dishonest.

But it didnt stop there. Trump continued his rant, recycling his claims of fake news, rallying up his supporters by launching animosity toward the press.

Theyre fake. Theyre fake, he said. They quote sources. A source within the Trump organization said. A source. They dont have a source. They never use names anymore. The old days, you have to use names. Jim Smith said that Donald Trump is a bad guy. They dont do that anymore. They say a source within the administration. They make the sources up. They dont exist in many cases. I saw one of them said 15 anonymous sources. I dont have 15 people forget it. 15 anonymous sources have said all source of stuff. These are really bad people.

The president was attending a campaign event in Great Falls to support Senate hopeful Matt Rosendale (R) who is up against the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Jon Tester, whos looking to keep his seat in November.

During the same rally, he also called the Statue of Liberty protester a clown.

UPDATE: Fox Business correspondent Charles Gasparino responded to Trumps rally remarks.

Just heard @POTUS at this rally complaining about the use of anonymous sources. For the record he was one of mine over the years.

His own people are paranoid about each other leaking information because it's so common.

Did he really just claim his entire administration consists of less than 15 people?

I think he meant to say that there's no way he has 15 people who would leak info, it's just that his manner of speaking is akin to a dictionary falling down the stairs in a burning house with a woodchipper at the bottom.

Except that plenty of leftist reporters make up lies about him all the time.

I love how ironic this post is. Trump did not say journalists, as in all of them. You know damn well who he is referring to.
