The press should stick to reporting and not propaganda and antagonizing. They used to be Journalists but something happened years ago.

But him calling the press the enemy of the people and I get one excuses
"I don't know what he said but are you saying he is not entitled to his own opinion because he is President?"

His exaggerations do not surprise me at all, the country elected Archie Bunker. I have no control over what he spouts off about just as I have no control over what the media spins things as.
You told me what he said, well alright, that is fine if it's an exact quote with no other context then what are you looking for? Enemy of the people, ok what people? the half of the country that is not against him? He calls them fake news also, so what? He is crude and speaks his mind, you would rather have a weak feeble pushover? Not me, I am ok with someone that does not back down.
I care a lot.
Your opinion of my view of America has no bearing on anything whether you are right or wrong. Clearly some Americans wish to erase certain history and we all know who they are.
I think the reactions from the left are a result of his successes and they can't handle it, they have no answers for solutions and only want more power and bigger government.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

This is precisely what concerns me.
Speaking his mind shows he’s a pathological liar, feasts in conspiracy theories, doesn’t understand policy or history and can’t seem to grasp more than a one ingredient recipe.
But it’s ok because he stands his ground.

Bush, McCain, and Romney, are decent to the core. You don’t agree with them on policy, but they are men of integrity. And the left, and the media, attacked him without mercy.
Trump brings much of it upon himself, but is also attacked in deranged fashion.
So what is the right supposed to do, Spence, in order to get a presidential candidate treated fairly?
Your side created Trump with the way they treated McCain and Romney. You still don’t get it.
Trump won, and he is fulfilling more campaign promises than the country is used to, and many things are working. The left can’t handle that their queen bee got creamed by a jerk who actually knows how to get things done, and who could care less about how things have always worked in the swamp.

He’s not anything like an arsonist. He’s a thoughtless bigmouth.

If you way back in the archives you'll see I was a McCain supporter until he lost his mind and chose Palin over Lieberman.

Media treatment of Republicans didn't create Trump.

He has a single significant legislative achievement. Most of Trump's "getting things done" has just been to break stuff without any plan to fix it. Now they're talking leaving the WTO. The recklessness of this is mind bending and the GOP is hiding under the table.

This is the saddest and scariest part. Many lawmakers in the gop disagree with things like tariffs and his handling of NK, Syria, Russia (we’ll see), but they are scared #^&#^&#^&#^&less of being primaried by a Trumpite so they are collectively hiding except for the few retirees.....

"I was a McCain supporter until he lost his mind and chose Palin over Lieberman. "
So the republican nominee is supposed to pick a liberal democrat for a running mate? I see you didn't hold it against Obama or Hilary when they chose running mates within their party.
"Media treatment of Republicans didn't create Trump."
Not entirely. Combined with liberals who demand tolerance on Monday and engage in riots in Tuesday to silence conservative speakers, had something to do with it. CNN giving debate questions to Hilary had something to do with it. The right reached its limit of being able to tolerate the horsesh*t. The results speak for themselves.
"He has a single significant legislative achievement"
Well, he's not part of the legislative branch now, is he? He eliminated lots of regulations, cut taxes for individuals and corporations, ended the Obama practice of separating families, nominated a superb supreme court justice who was on the right side of some major, major decisions.
"break stuff without any plan to fix it."
He's not breaking national security or the economy, and that's what matters to most people. What's broken, exactly?

It would have been a winner likely and brought a lot of bi-partisanship. Instead they went for the trick play.

Most voters don't give a whip about colleges who don't want hate speech on campus. CNN didn't give debate questions to Clinton either, a democratic operative who was a contributor to CNN passed info along. Can't blame the media here.

He ended the Obama practice of separating families? Now you're just trolling, I won't be a party to that nonsense.

Backing out of the Iran deal, coddling up to Putin, disparaging NATO and our longstanding alliances all undercut our national security.
Starting unnecessary and reckless trade wars, pulling out of favorable trade agreements, lying about our trade imbalances, lying about the deficit etc... etc... isn't helping the economy. Market gains for the year are gone and business is spooked.
