who said “everything else is bullsh-t”? why can’t you just say that while trump is a pig, he’s growing the economy? why does it have to be all bad, why can’t you admit that he is doing some good things? what are you afraid of? gdp up, unemployment down, labor participation up. all good things. at the same time, he’s a pig.

Jim unlike you I am not able to look at Trump as if looking thru a rifle scope and when something like jobs numbers come out you take the shot .. then comment on how great things are .
Where is I look at Trump not thru scope but binoculars which provide a greater field of vision that way I can see the jobs numbers and the wall fight the crazy stock market all the things that paint a better picture of his Administration..
Not grabbing the few good things that happen around and trying to market them as Trump doing great
Never said the numbers were not a positive But Trump and Trump alone drowns out positive news for himself. He excels at doing that

"Jim unlike you I am not able to look at Trump as if looking thru a rifle scope'
You are wrong. YOU are the one doing exactly this, looking through a narrow scope. All you see is the bad, everything good (and I'm sorry to break it to you, there's a lot of good things happening), you block from your field of vision. You deny and ignore everything that doesn't paint him in a negative light. You are filtering out everything positive he does.
I see it all, I criticize him when he deserves it (which is often), and I can celebrate the things he does which helps Americans. The economy is booming, and the little people, the forgotten people (poor, blacks, Hispanics, those with only a high school education) are doing better than they've done in a while. We have a LONG way to go to keep helping these people, but there is some momentum.

You really should stop speaking for the blacks and Hispanics and how better their lives have been made by Trump .. it's another example of your 'scope view
Jim it's good that you highlight the little good being done by his administration
So others like me are exposed to these stories ..
And I will bring foward the stories outside your view And hope of exposing the other side of the coin
Like the story below Trump threatens National emergency over wall
That's Trumps authoritarian personality .. if he can't threaten his way to get what he wants .. he will play the national security card as an end around

No, it's not my view, it's irrefutable fact. Black and Hispanic unemployment is at historic lows. Why can't you celebrate that? Would you be this dismissive about it, if Hilary was POTUS?
Yeah Wayne, you look at the whole picture from all sides before you form your opinions...clearly.
"little good being done by his administration"
Yeah, silly little things (not all of which are all his doing, obviously) like record low unemployment for minorities, tax cuts for almost all of us, solid GDP growth.

illegal migration to the United States plunged 31 percent, falling near its lowest level in 50 years.
But we need a wall ?
For Trumps ego not national security
