During a rally in Phoenix in August 2017, Trump led the crowd into chanting "CNN sucks." According to the New York Times, audience members hurled insults at reporters covering the event, "demanding that they stop tormenting the president with questions about his ties to Russia." Journalists outside dodged rocks and tear gas while covering a protest after the event.
Before the 2016 election, Trump said it was a "great honor" to receive praise from Russian president Vladimir Putin. Although the Kremlin denies political killings, Human Rights Watch says Russia is "far from a safe place" for independent journalists.

In May 2017, Trump lauded Republican Greg Gianforte, calling his success in Montana's House special election a "great win." Gianforte was recorded body slamming Guardianreporter Ben Jacobs just days earlier. A Fox News team witnessed Gianforte punching Jacobs, breaking his glasses, and yelling "I'm sick and tired of this!"

Nearly a year before the 2016 election, Trump told a pre-Christmas rally how much he hates news organizations.
"I would never kill them, but I do hate them," he joked to the audience. "And some of them are such lying, disgusting people. It's true."
