Rush: Media Clearly Out to 'Destroy' Trump, But They Will Fail

Rush Limbaugh blasted the mainstream media Sunday for what he called an effort to "destroy" President Donald Trump.

"The media did not make Donald Trump and they can't destroy him," Limbaugh said on "Fox News Sunday." "They have a formula, they have a blueprint for destroying Republican political officials they don't like."

Limbaugh identified The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, ABC, CBC and NBC as part of the crusade to bring down the president.

"It's not going to work on Trump. He doesn't fit that mold. They're trying to every day. It's kind of comical to watch," Limbaugh said.

President Barack Obama was never "challenged seriously by the media," Limbaugh said.

Trump often refers to the media as "fake news." In a recent tweet, Trump called the "FAKE NEWS media" the "enemy of the American people."

"Trump won the election, on substance. Trump did more interviews. He explained his agenda more than any political presidential candidate ever has in my memory. And he has tried to stick to it," Limbaugh said.

"Trump has a connection with his voters that most politicians don't have...and that connection that he has is not anything that anybody else can break. Only he can break it."
