This is a very smart statement and I have the same problem!! LOL That makes me go into any situation he does with a bias against. I do try and overcome that, but it is difficult. Regarding the news organizations, I think that Xenon is also right. |

Whether you know it or not, what you're saying is that you don't want more employment of minorities, you don't want our borders protected, you don't want companies to bring their money back to the US, you don't want ISIS defeated, and you don't want a resolution to the north Korean situation. You don't want the economy to improve, you don't want unemployment to drop, you don't want the welfare rolls to shrink. That's just about the stupidest thing I've heard in a while, and it's hard to take you serious when you display such poor thinking skills. |

Neither if you can separate what he does from who he is because neither one of you have actually taken the time to see who he is. You don't have a clue who he is, you're just going with the path of least resistance and accepting the leftwing narrative. As for Canon's commentary on the news organizations, no, he is not right. Both the Washington Post and the New York Times are blatantly anti-Trump. Both have had to retract numerous news stories that they later admitted the knew were false when the ran them. Both rely heavily on "unnamed sources", and neither of them have ever published a positive news story involving Trump. Instead of them being thought of as reliable, both have come to be regarded by the people as being little more than a joke. |

I’m saying that Trump has characterized top news outlets as bad actors and some people buy that. There’s also lots of garbage news out there that Trump has sometimes peddled in. He’s not making the news orgs worse, he’s a bad influence on trust in the institution. |

I can understand his appeal, maybe you can also operate under the assumption that others have also put some thought into their argument - and aren’t driven purely by ignorance. |

It's mostly cnn that he talks about and he is correct. cnn has been round-the-clock all day every day outrageously anti-Trump for over 2 years now. It's not a matter of buying something from Mr. Trump, I don't think anyone denies cnn's viewpoint. cnn makes their money by pushing this viewpoint, it is what their viewers want to see and hear. |

And the viewers who want to see what they push are getting fewer by the day, based on their tanking numbers. Not only has CNN pushed the anti-Trump narrative, a news article I read the other day ties CNN into the start of the "Russian collusion" lie. The news outlets Trump has characterized as bad actors are in fact guilty of being bad actors. |

You would cut your arm off before you admitted you were wrong, wouldn't you... Nickelodeon has bigger numbers than CNN. How's that for "relative"? They have a third of the audience size that Fox has. How's that for "relative"? Hell, I haven't looked it up, but it wouldn't surprise me if Gunsmoke reruns have bigger numbers. Every day that passes it gets more and more obvious that you anti-Trumpers don't have a clue. |

Nickolodeon - that just means there’s more kid’s show watchers than news watchers, no? All I meant was that Fox is tanking just as much, if not harder than CNN. What’s the rationale for them? People also sick of their ****? I’m not going to bat for CNN - I’m just pointing out your blatantly one sided argument that applies just as equally to news sources you’d say are good. |

I hate to shake you out of your koolaid overdose, but Fox is most definitely not tanking. The have been #1 for the last 11 years running. I suggest you do better research - try googling "is fox news tanking in the ratings". On second thought, maybe you'd better not.. You've created such a fantasy world to live in that getting hit with reality might make your little pinhead implide. |

No. It means no one is watching CNN. Except nutjobs like you, of course.. And all those airline passengers who are forced to watch CNN in the airport because CNN pays the airports to have them play CNN all day... |

Agree. I just think that President Trump is not a very good person. The way he acts towards people, the names he calls them, the things he says about them, etc etc. None of those things make him a better president. I do believe it is just the opposite - they make him a worse president because (in general) people are less willing to work with him. I do think he has some good ideas, but as the english saying goes - "he is his own worst enemy" |

TG, there's not a male on this forum who hasn't said similar things at one time or another, and if one of them claims otherwise, he's lying. In fact, every male you've ever come in contact with in your entire life has also. Do you honestly not see that you're applying a double standard? What you are doing is judging the man on your perception of what he says instead of looking at what he's done. I've said far worse things right here on this board than Trump has said, do you think I'm not a good person? A lot of the things he says that get left leaner's panties in a twist are part of his negotiating style. And it's works, by the way. Some of what he says is to hit back at someone who is attacking him, I understand it, because I do that too. Does that make me not a good person? What will determine if he's a good or bad president is not what he says, or how he says it. Obama was very good at saying things in a way that made lefties happy - yet we now can see just how horrible he was as a president. Trump will go down in history as a very effective president. In spite of those who saw fit to judge him on things that they ignored when it was a Democrat president doing it. What amazes me about it all is how utterly lacking in substance his detractors' reasons for disliking him are, and how completely the fail to see the irony. |

Larry, that may be true, but most people keep that in private. Girls can act like that too, but I would keep it private. I agree with Xenon, I do not think that President Trump was THE answer. He may end up doing a great job, and I hope he does, but I do believe that there were others that could have done (or do) an equally good job, without all of the crudeness he brings. |
