Earlier this week he said “fake news” as he often does when he doesn’t like the input/question of a journalist, who simply reiterated a documented quote from him of 5 days earlier w/respect to the 9/2 boat bombing. With all the mirrors that surround him, he should realize he is losing.
Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

President Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of sedition when they told members of the military that they must refuse unlawful orders. But Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said the same thing last year.
Must the Military Disobey Unlawful Orders? Pam Bondi Has Said Yes.
As a lawyer for a conservative think tank, Ms. Bondi, now the attorney general, filed a Supreme Court brief last year saying service members who followed such orders were committing crimes.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video.
They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.
