Welcome to 2017, a year when supporting journalism essentially means you hate the President of the United States.

According to a Fox and Friends clip that aired Tuesday morning, to fight against Trump's war on the media, newspapers are cashing in on apparel that displays "anti-Trump rhetoric."

What are these offensive, Trump-hating words, you ask?

"Journalism Matters." Oh the horror.

It appears that since Donald Trump has been so outwardly open about the media – aka the "enemy of the American people" – along with his dislike of "fake news" spreading journalists, any shirt supporting journalism must be considered anti-Trump.

While The LA Times' "Journalism Matters" shirt includes the hashtag #nottheenemy, clearly in response to Trump, it doesn't say anything directly negative about him.

According to the caption on the Fox and Friends tweet, those wearing the supportive shirts are showcasing "Media bias on full display!"

Here are two other examples of the anti-Trump apparel Fox and Friends included:

Judging from the responses on Twitter, no one could really comprehend how the shirts warranted the anti-Trump label, but does anything really make sense anymore?

Though pro-journalism shirts appear to be a rising trend lately, other outlets have definitely taken Trump-related marketing approaches in the past. After Trump called Buzzfeed a "failing pile of garbage," the company had custom shirts and a nifty trashcan made up.

Trump is truly changing the political and fashion world.
