He has no intention of toning it down. Ramping it up suits him better. He's proud of it:Trump argued during a campaign rally in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday night that the “media has a major role to play whether they want to or not” in repairing the civility of political discourse.
The crowd responded by chanting "media sucks."
“The media’s constant unfair coverage, deep hostility and negative attacks only serve to drive people apart and to undermine healthy debate,” Trump continued.
The president then accused the news media of attempting to use the mail bombing case as ammunition against him and the GOP.
“We have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the Republican Party," Trump charged.

"When a Bernie Sanders supporter tried to murder congressional Republicans … we did not use that heinous attempt at mass murder for political gain because that would have been wrong," Trump said.
“Nor do we blame the Democrat Party every time radical leftists seize and destroy public property and unleash violence and mayhem," he said.
“Yet, the media has tried to attack the incredible Americans who support our movement to give power back to the people.”

Both Eric and Junior have been on the campaign trail for a while now. Both were supposedly going to stay out of politics in order to run the Trump Organization, which was supposed to be how Trump was avoiding the conflict of interest and emoluments issues.Donald Trump Jr. blasted Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) at a boisterous rally in his home state on Friday, calling him a “piece of garbage” for sinking Navy Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson’s nomination to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs earlier this year.
Trump Jr., who headlined a rally for Tester's GOP Senate rival Matt Rosendale and Rep. Greg Gianforte (R), slammed Tester over Jackson's failed VA nomination, saying the Democratic senator had “ruined this guy’s life" after a bitter confirmation process.
President Trump's eldest son accused Tester, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, of putting out “all sorts of baseless accusations” on the orders of Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.).
“To go after and try to assassinate with no proof, no basis, no nothing, a good man simply because my father wanted to elevate him and put him in charge of an organization,” Trump Jr. fumed. “When Jon Tester, who is this lap dog, does that, what happened?"
“Where’s the accountability to Jon Tester who did that? Because that makes you a piece of garbage in my mind, and it should to all of you and anyone I know in this state,” Trump Jr. said.

It's a corrupt and slimey family.
