If you're not any of those things it shouldn't be hard to defend yourself.

To be fair, he's CONSTANTLY been accused of those things since before he secured the nomination. If you were constantly called those things after months and months, wouldn't you get fed up with it?

With that said, he most definitely needs to respond in a far better manner (and, in conjunction with that, it would behoove him to just stay off Twitter completely).

As humorous as it is to hear someone say they are the least racist or anti-semitic one can be, I truly think he believes it.

Whether it's a loaded question or Trump doesn't think it's very friendly doesn't matter imo. Especially since he thinks every time someone brings up a fact people are just trying to be mean to him. The reporters have their job and he has his if he really believes he is honest and stands by his work then let that speak for itself instead of being insecure.

Here's the thing, there has definitely been biases in the media and I think this is Trump's way of trying to combat that. However, I'm reasonably confident he'll fail in making the media less biased and will succeed in only making them more antagonistic towards him.
