I have seen reports that Gerald from the WSJ is receiving pressure from his boss Murdoch to lay off Trump. Journalists have different roles 1) report the facts.... fact Trump lied in Phoenix 2) provide context...Trump has a history of lying (refer to Washington Post's compilation of documented lies) 3) investigate...shine a light on those things on this earth that need to be seen, i.e. The war in Dufur, corruption cases, etc 4) patterns...use facts and investigations to highlight patterns Pundits add a fifth...provide an opinion, Trump is a liar. What has happened in media is the line between journalists and pundits has been blurred which requires greater discernment from the reader/viewer...which of the five items is being highlighted in this report.
In my opinion 45 is a liar of epic proportions. Then he had the nerve to tweet this...
calling out someone for lying. Irony of epic proportions.

It's hard to argue with a second similar statement that is quoted in that article. "Somebody told me yesterday, whoever he is, he did endorse me." Along with the statement in my video that clearly confirms to me that he's trying to put forth that he doesn't know who he is. I wonder why it isn't included in the video? Didn't fit the agenda of the person making the video. "Somebody told me yesterday, whoever he is, he did endorse me." is not in the video and considering the video we're talking about is from the Politifact article, how does that not fit their agenda? I would think it would back up their article, but they don't include it. There's only a quote attributed to him and no video of him saying that. You have to wonder why they wouldn't provide proof that fits their agenda? |

There is a difference between a reporter and newstertainment personalities. Maggie Haberman = reporter. Mika & Joe = entertainers on a current events political show. It's further complicated because reporters like Maggie Haberman can and do have a voice/opinion indpendent of the stories they publish. It's up to us as consumers of different types of media to differentiate. Our lack of discernment is not the responsibility of actual news organizations and journalists doing solid work. It is MY opinion that over the last year, the editor of the WSJ has demonstrated his own biases in directing his reporters what to cover and how to cover it; YMMV. It's funny (aka sad) how people don't understand the difference between news articles and opinion pieces. The editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal was not talking about his opinion writers. |

www.cnn.com/2017/08/29/politics/trump-phoenix-rally/index.htmlTrump rally planner for Phoenix in trouble: "But a few days later, Gigicos got a call from the Trump campaign's executive director Michael Glassner who informed him that Trump didn't want him working on his rallies anymore, a source familiar with the call told CNN. Gigicos had continued doing advance work for the Trump campaign as a contractor to the Republican National Committee since he left his job as director of White House advance on July 31. Glassner did not respond to a CNN request for comment, and Gigcos declined to comment. But even those familiar with the Phoenix blow-up said they have no doubt about Gigicos' future. "George will be back," one source familiar with the matter said, noting that Trump's angry tirades are "not uncommon." "This is what (Trump) does. He tries to get under your skin.""

What is your obsession about Trump and his every single move? He's the POTUS. |

I was reading an article about how maybe we should just let Trump be the King of America. He gets to be the king, he's happy, and then we don't have to worry about what he does anymore. I'm kind of on board with that. He doesn't have the credentials to be a King. A monarchy has some class and decorum, and is articulate, he is lacking in all three. |

maybe we could make him Emperor, then people would FINALLY see that he doesn't have any clothes on? (wait, he probably hasn't read that book... forget it.)

They advertise on CraigsList and then pay them to be there. Don't know if that is fake news but I ran across one of the ads and it certainly sounds like something his team would do. I don't care enough to dig into it.
I had no idea.
Here's the deal about our moronic "President": ANY time you hear him accusing someone of something, just turn around that pointed stump of a finger back at him because it's usually his own deal!!!!!!!!!! All of those times he accused protestors of being paid was probably his idea! He's been paying for his own positive press for years (or doing it himself, under the guise of an alternative persona!). He's a whackjob!!! |

He even mentioned "what a turnout," on his trip to Texas to survey the damage from Harvey today. As usual, making it all about him.

No sensitivity to those people, no real compassion, just another thing he has to be seen to do, another photo opportunity. |

He's overcompensating for other small things he has, like hands and probably the other part that hands reflect.  |

He just keeps repeating what has worked for him in the past. He doesn't have another opening. I had to laugh (bitterly) when he kept saying how bad the flood was. Like we had to know that he was going to fix the worst possible thing ever. Ugh. |
