At the end of a tumultous week, Donald Trump goes after the media.
A surprise news conference on Thursday: Trump says media are distorting the real picture.
At the end of week four of his presidency, which saw his National Security Advisor resign, Donald Trump held a hastily arranged news conference to blame the media for most of his problems. He told the gathered journalists: "I turn on the TV, open the newspapers and I see stories of chaos, chaos; yet, it is the exact opposite: this administration is running like a fine-tuned machine."
