 As I reported here, there are people trying to discredit Trump and make the people distrust him and now its out in the open. This is more than the Dems vs Reps., this is the elite within the US government.                                    http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/spies-are-plotting-to-take-down-donald-trump-says-former-cia-operative/ar-AAn7UwY?li=AAggFp5                                                         

Both main parties could actually implode within next few years.

We aren't talking about just CNN but six news agencies including two of the countries largest newspapers and two of the worlds most respected news sources. Is Trump going to ban everyone who asks a question he doesn't like?

 

He didn't "ban" anyone.......all pool reporters were present, which share the information among all media outlets. You cite two of the World's most respected news sources.....who cares? The Trump administration doesn't "owe" international media squat........if this was politically motivated, why didn't he "ban" MSNBC? CBS? ABC?

He banned those he accuses of publishing "fake news" Of course it is politically motivated because regardless of who he banned, excluding those six is a clear threat to all news agencies of what can happen if they aggravate him. This was done as warning to all media, not just punish those who were excluded.

A warning.........by letting in the pool reporters?

 

It is motivated by "fake news" and bias, not politics, no different then any other administration before it......no different than any other Western Government. In this case, CNN and NYT etc have been going after unsubstantiated reports of ties between people in the Administration and Russia........last week, the New York Times ran a story, with no evidence, claiming the Trump campaign held daily conversations with the Russians.......the FBI itself said such stories are B.S

CNN, New York Times etc, if they're going to report stuff worthy of the National Enquirer, why should they be given special access?

That was reported by multiple agencies, not just the NYT. Priebus has said the FBI has told him that and is under fire for trying to get the FBI to make a public statement on the issue.

The FBI would not say whether it had contacted the White House about the veracity of the Times report.

That was from Fox News.

Agencies since "banned" from a meeting in Spicer's office?

Is there another Fox News? I'm currently watching Chris Wallace anchoring the Factor, and their take differs.......and is reported as much:

Fox News has learned that McCabe indeed had initiated the conversation, asking to speak with Priebus for a few minutes at the end of an intelligence meeting last week. During that conversation, McCabe informed the chief of staff that the Times story was wrong.

 

Priebus wanted to know what he could do, but apparently was told later by McCabe that the FBI couldn’t be calling balls and strikes on every news story. FBI Director James Comey later told Priebus he could go out and refute the story, which he did.

 

 

If CNN and NYT etc are reporting "fake news" about the Trump administration.....why would they expect to get special access?

With no disclosed evidence - big, big difference.

 

Likewise "no evidence" or "incorrect evidence".

Priebus says the FBI called him, CNN and the NYT says it was the other way around. We don't know who called who or if anyone called anyone because the FBI won't comment on any of it.

His first 100 days will be a flurry of activities to implement most of the policies he'd promised. Here's an excerpt from a lengthy article how he says it would look:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/05/us/politics/donald-trump-president.html?_r=0

 

 

Looking back at that OP, and relating his interview with what he's done so far.......he's indeed different.  Like he's said at the Conservative Conference:

"The era of empty talk is over."

 

This article was written in May, 2016.

Despite his radical vision of how to remake America, and all his outrageous talk on juvenile subjects like his anatomy — to say nothing of the polls showing him behind Hillary Clinton — Jan. 20 may find the most underestimated politician in America assuming the presidency.

While professing some surprise at his success, Mr. Trump increasingly sounds like a man who thinks he knows where he will be eight months from now, and the unrivaled power he will hold. He talked of turning the Oval Office into a high-powered board room, empowering military leaders over foreign affairs specialists in national security debates, and continuing to speak harshly about adversaries. He may post on Twitter less, but everyone will still know what he thinks.

“As president, I’ll be working from the first day with my vice president and staff to make clear that America will be changing in major ways for the better,” Mr. Trump said in a telephone interview on Saturday. “We can’t afford to waste time. I want a vice president who will help me have a major impact quickly on Capitol Hill, and the message will be clear to the nation and to people abroad that the American government will be using its power differently.”

His confidence - his vision - is amazing!  Like, he knew for sure he'll be the one sitting as President.  This guy tackles everything like pieces on a chess board. 

 

His first 100 days are on track with what he said he'd do!  They're indeed a flurry of activities -  fulfilling promises he's made as fast as he can.

He's had meetings with the auto industry - and it was productive!

He had a meeting with Manufacturing CEOs a few days ago.  BRINGING BACK JOBS!  JOBS. JOBS. JOBS.

 

 

He's physically participated in negotiations!  That's what he's promised, didn't he? That he'd be negotiating!

 

What politician has done what he's been doing - within the first 100 days?

This is going to be interesting. How did sanity sneak into the Trump administration?

 

McMaster differs from Trump position on Muslims and Russia.

 

If he isn't on board, and he PUBLICLY opposes the President - who's only doing what got him elected - I suppose, we'd be saying adios amigo to this guy pretty soon. 

 

Meh.  If this is true.....now I understand why looney John McCain was so enthusiastically in favor of this guy. McCain's reaction should've been a red flag.
