WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- The war of words between U.S. President Donald Trump and the U.S. media has been raging on since he took office last month, which could hurt his presidency, experts said.
The billionaire-turned president has received more media coverage, much of it being negative, than any other president in recent memory. Since its inauguration last month, the new administration has been under intense scrutiny by U.S. media, with many news outlets disapproving of Trump's actions in his first weeks in office.
Trump has over the months attacked U.S. media for putting out "fake news," citing that his administration is unfairly treated by the media.
The tsunami of negative coverage could hurt Trump as he pushes his policies, experts said.
The media pressure could hurt Trump, especially if he doesn't deliver on his promises to spark a major economic boost, they said.
"It is unparalleled in history the amount of coverage that has been given to President Trump and his administration both positive and negative," Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the study of the Presidency and Congress, told Xinhua.
The negative coverage has made it difficult for Trump to move in some areas where there was consensus for his policies -- tax reform, infrastructure -- though the slow movement on those policies also reflects the pace of Washington, Mahaffee said.
However, the negative coverage has also shored up support among Trump's base, as well as consolidating support among some conservatives, who see the negative coverage and begin to sympathize with some of the statements from the administration complaining about the media as the "opposition," Mahaffee said.
