?Impact Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 More people took public transit during the entire Inauguration day for Trump than did those who took public transit before 11am for Obama. Trump has bigger apples than Obama's grapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos were taken at the same time (1 hour before the speech) in both cases. Look up actual facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see a lot of that in reverse around here too,. Folks who love pipelines, and can't stand immigrants, and cheer big tax and regulatory cuts to corporations maintain they can't stand Trump. Because he's a buffoon? Whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it. I can see the Trump administration is handling the MSM(and his political enemies) like the Pied Piper. They're going for the shiny bauble in one hand, and missing a lot of what he's signing with the other. Classic misdirection, and their hysterical outrage is damaging their own efforts. Plus his manipulation is accomplishing some other goals with regards to the media and crying wolf every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has the MSM back on its heels and wondering what to do about it. President Trump and his WH spokesman single out media enemies and publicly holds them accountable. The MSM is not used to being on the defensive. There is nothing special about liars with a journalism degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagan did the same thing when he held his first press conferences...told the media rabble to sit down and shut-up...wait to be called on. No more screaming and shouting at the president during press conferences as was common for President Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are way beyond the acceptable level of deceit that we expect from politicians. As PJ O'Rourke put it: Trump's lies are only white lies, so not that bad. I don't find it terribly interesting that Trump makes a few statements to get people's heads spinning around. What's interesting is the reaction, and the amount of energy wasted talking about it, while not talking about more esoteric matters involving policy.

Great industries and weak neighbours were key ingredients. Trump voters should get their passports and see what carnage really looks like out foreign. The US is still a great country to live in and has a lot to lose.

Presidents must expect extreme and constant scrutiny from the hour they are elected. Their job matters. We can only judge by what we have seen so far which is disturbing to say the least. The man is still going on about the election. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
