kscarbel2 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Let's call a spade a spade. Donald Trump is a spoiled rich kid from New York City. All his jet set life, he has been accustomed to getting his own way. He loves accolades, and is tormented by criticism. But as president, both come with the territory. I'm shocked that he isn't so busy ramping up his month's long conceived "first 30 days in office" plan that he would waste time mocking the media. Imagine if you were elected president. At this moment, wouldn't you be completely preoccupied with "work". Now, he only wants the press to report the news with a positive spin. This is what the government-pressured news media has to do in Beijing and Moscow. I find the message conveyed in Sean Spicer's debut troubling. And I'll go ahead and say it..........Kellyanne Conway is trouble. I avoid people like her. That she is Trump's senior counselor is beyond scary.

Popular Post Underdog Posted January 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2017 There were previous republican administrations, but Trump may have eclipsed them all when it comes to "alternative facts" in just his first weekend in office.The only difference between this week and last week is Obama told the media lies that they wanted to hear. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has a lot to learn about handling the press, But let's all of US give him a little while to learn. I agree, He's got four years rather we like it or not...Trump didn't get where he is today by being stupid, I believe he'll learn at a fast enough rate to keep ahead of the detractors, and in four years we'll find ourselves in a better place. I'll also admit I've been wrong before. I didn't vote for Trumps predecessor either time, However I did believe he could possibly be a decent commander-n-chief.....only because he was popular among the masses and I was missing something.......I couldn't have been more wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblin-Goblin Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sorry, but anyone who uses those two pictures of the Obama/Trump inaugurations has either been duped by the fake news media or is an outright lefty. Obama's picture was taken at the height of his ceremony while Trump's picture was taken early, before the rest of the people got there. I'm disappointed that anyone on this site would parrot that fakery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're cherry picking when the pics were taken. I might also add that it was the leftist media that initially made bones about the size of the inauguration crowds. The exact same media that also falsely reported that the bust of MLK was removed from the WH. The exact same media that was working hand-in-hand with the Hillary Campaign team (confirmation of that delivered by the Wikileaks e-mail dump). The exact same media that ogled and coddled Team Obama for eight years. The media is the PR department of the Democratic National Committee. If you want the moral high ground, make sure you're not standing on a hill covered in horsesh*t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DailyDiesel Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 These simple numbers explain why Obama's crowds were larger than Trump's. It has nothing to do with left media, mainstream media, or any other form of media. At the start of the respective terms in office, Obama was more popular than Trump. 2008 Election Obama Electoral Votes - 365 Obama Popular Votes Victory Margin - 9,550,193 Obama Pre Approval Rating - 83 % 2016 Election Trump Electoral Votes - 304 Trump Popular Votes Victory Margin - 2,868,520 (negative) Trump Pre Approval Rating - 40% (lowest ever of any president) It is perfectly logical to believe that an unpopular president would have a small inauguration crowds. Please, do not take this statement to be an attack on your personal beliefs or how you view President Trump, but the numbers are the numbers. 1 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
