I don't need understanding to know that veteran's day desires special attention from our commander in chief, he spent more effort tweeting against the media then honoring our fallen; what am I not understanding? |

Come on Bob, DJT is playing 3D chess, the rest of us clearly don't understand what he is doing behind the scenes... (which definitely does not include watching hours of cable news, avoiding the press and most of his other obligations and basically cowering in the east wing suck-ng his thumb)

He is creating turmoil in ways that make him able to direct those close to him to play the market. The Iran oil embargo made that plainly obvious.

Listening to his rallies it is funny.
"lock her up" for a woman who hasn't been arrested for anything when you are shouting it w/a Pres. under investigation and dozens of his staff arrested, indicted or under investigation
"drain the swamp" when you have cabinet members and people in the admin. who have lost their jobs for using their office to benefit from it.
What is the definition of mouth breather? |

A performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” in Baltimore Wednesday night was marred by a man yelling “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump,” according to the Baltimore Sun.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

“Veterans Day often follows a hard-fought political campaign, an exercise in the free speech and self-government that you fought for. It often lays bare disagreements across our nation. But the American instinct has never been to find isolation in opposite corners. It is to find strength in our common creed, to forge unity from our great diversity, to sustain that strength and unity even when it is hard.
“It’s the example of the single most diverse institution in our country—soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen who represent every corner of our country, every shade of humanity, immigrant and native-born, Christian, Muslim, Jew, and nonbeliever alike, all forged into common service.”
Barack Obama at Arlington, Veterans Day 2016
I suppose he could have stayed in the White House and sulked.

He regrets that he didn't go, and says he should have gone, but he reveals, contrary to the false notions created by various media. This is a very good interview with him by Chris Wallace. It covers a lot of things, including what HE means by fake news as opposed to what the media says he means:

I don't have time to rebut all of Trumps false claims in this interview, he continually issues false statements or half-truths and claims that they are true.
Listen to this supposed Clinton supporter, who's given more to this country than Trump could ever think of

Not to mention disparaging such a respected and dedicated military hero. You have to wonder if he has any concept for patriotism, sacrifice, duty...

He regrets not going because of the bad press, not because it means anything to him personally.
As for the interview, he didn’t look good.

Remember all the criticism Obama got for saluting one time with a coffee cup in his hand. The same people now seem to have lost their voice. Hippocrates.

I'm sure if you google how many outright lies or mistruths Trump has made since he took office the count is considerably higher than the huge number that was reported after his first year in office. How many this week, I loose track, from claiming he talked to the head of state in Finland about cleaning the forests to beating up on a highly decorated serviceman over his supposed support of Hilary.
Just think for a minute how the media's reporting of him would change had he not made all those statements which proved false or if he didn't use his twitter account to show us how civil he can be towards those he sees as his enemy. He keeps throwing dozens of live bunker into a pool filled with bluefish and he wonders why there is a constant feeding frenzy; come on you present yourself as an intelligent man and yet you don't see this?
No, I see a lot of other things that you don't mention, and I don't see what are supposed to be hundreds of lies. I think I see some lies as well as a lot of truths and a host of gibberish. Perhaps I'm not intelligent.
I do care about other things that he's done that Hillary wouldn't have done. I am concerned with the constant and rapid Democrat shift toward socialism and hope that the Republican shift to the left can more easily be diminished than the Democrat shift can.
And I mostly care about preserving as much of what's left of our original constitutional form of government. Hope as well that the shift can actually be reversed. For me, Trump and the wobbly Republicans were by far the better choice. Trump's supposed lies seem rather innocuous in light of what was about to happen with a Hillary and the Democrats takeover of the federal government, especially to the Supreme Court.
If the Republican party can wither into a constitutional leaning Libertarian party to face off against the Dems, that would make me happy. For a while at least. In the meantime, I'll stick with the weak kneed and shifty Repubs.
I think the fishing parallel might get the point across better, after all it is a fishing website.
Side bar for all those claiming (Yeah I'm talking about you Donald and a few on this board) the stock market is the best it's ever been, if he had his wealth in stocks he'd be taking a worse beating than I am lately. I can't imagine what some are loosing, I'm at only a risk level of 3 on a 1-10 scale and my retirement is down 7% from a year ago.
|
The stock market has evolved into something separate from our actual market place. It seems to have become a market of its own. I have no trust in it. And when stocks began to skyrocket in value while the economy was stagnant or propped up by phony growth, even my lack of knowledge was telling me that stocks were becoming way over-priced, depending on nothing but Fed pumping and would eventually "correct" to some sane level. I suspect either that the level will be much lower than it is now, or the economy will have to be inflated to justify present stock values.
But that's just an ignorant guess. As I said above, I may not be intelligent.

Bush wasn't a "liar" or a white nationalist but "BUSH=Hitler and "BUSH Lied People Died" was a pretty common theme for the left and media narrative through the Bush years...
so no.....
Trump could be Jesus and the left and media would still portray him as a racist, misogynist, homophobic Nazi...because that's their narrative and they stick to it as demonstrated here daily
I recall the media and left telling us during the Clinton years that lying was OK, part of the human condition and almost essential for our survival....this was all backed up by academic studies...you know..."SCIENCE"...so I really don't know what the left is all worked up about with Trump

Ivanka Trump used personal email for White House business
are we going to hear daddy start yelling lock her up?
So many Trump apologist here ... Sorry for using The term apologist kinda of like the term snowflake used by the Right .. All but forgotten when where and why they used it..
A Trump administration official told CBS News that Ms Trump's emails did not contain classified information, and what had occurred was basically a lack of understanding of the rules.
we have been told this before .... it needs to be investigated

yeah I'd give Ivanka a pass....she's only been in Washington for what ...2 years...?
hell...
Hillary was co-President for 8 years...a Senator, candidate for President...twice...and Secretary of State and we were constantly told that she was the "smartest woman in the world" and she couldn't figure it out...  |

You don't see the hundreds of lies or mistruths really, that just cracks me up, the Post recently had the number up over 3000, the New York Times had it well over 1000 just ahead of year one; but I know your going to just give us the party line it's all fake news. Or as you describe it, he's just "wrong", well I'm not all that comfortable supporting a president that is that wrong so many times. I'd have to count my fingers after shaking that man's hand. |

I think it’s well over 7000 now.
His lying is problematic but what’s worse is his lack of concern for the truth. Trump just makes stuff up and doesn’t care like he’s holding court.
