"Wow, highest Poll Numbers in the history of the Republican Party. That includes Honest Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan. There must be something wrong, please recheck that poll!"

"Tom Homan, fmr ICE Director: “There is nobody that has done more for border security & public safety than President Trump. I’ve worked for six presidents, and I respect them all, but nobody has done more than this Administration & President Trump, that’s just a stone cold fact!”"

Conspiracy theory destroyed! Thank you.

(Of course, if I'd bothered to go through the tape or transcript again... but I'm already sick of it.)

I don't think they thought for a second that any of this was illegal. Trump, Pecker and Cohen had been doing that stuff for years.

Does anyone know what he's referring to? I read a Twitter comment that he's referring to the support within the party? His last rating wasn't even as high as his previous one. Is he just trying to capture a news cycle for fear that Giuliani opens his fat mouth again?

It was an executive time tweet so I'm guessing something that was on aired Fox.
 
Trump tweets

"Had a very good and interesting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times. Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, “Enemy of the People.” Sad!"

"The biggest and best results coming out of the good GDP report was that the quarterly Trade Deficit has been reduced by $52 Billion and, of course, the historically low unemployment numbers, especially for African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Women."
 
Trump threatens via twitter

"I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!"
 
I think it's funny that when actually encounter real fake news, the flags made in China, the Trump people can't kill the story. Even after corrections, it's still out there.

Maybe, but it’s a plague nonetheless - especially among podcasters.

I find myself mentally saying, “Yes, I know”, or worse, “Yes, I DO know what you mean”. It’s quite annoying.

You know what I mean?

I'm a little late, but here is the canonical usage of "Know what I'm saying?" Enjoy.

I would love to hear Sulzberger's takeaways from that one-on-none.

He released a statement:
I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous.

I told him that although the phrase “fake news” is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists “the enemy of the people.” I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.

(Sidney, Ohio) Local farmer calls it like he sees it

Christopher Gibbs said:
Let me be clear. I want to be supportive of the president and his policies. As a farmer, we voted for the president because he purported to represent a “can do, just get it done” attitude. That attitude is the core of farm folks. But the president’s trade war, now being supported by hush money to keep agriculture sedated, is a bridge too far for me. This week the president announced he is offering $12 billion of borrowed taxpayer monies to continue to “have farmer’s backs.” These dollars are nothing more than verification that the president’s protectionist’s trade policies are folly.

Let me tell you a riddle. “I slept with a billionaire because he said he loved me. I expected to make love, but in the morning I realized I was getting screwed. When I went to tell the world, I was offered cash to keep my mouth shut.” Who am I? No, I’m not a model or someone named Stormy. I’m the American farmer.

In the mid-1980s we were awash with over production in the corn and soybean sectors. Agriculture got busy, boarded planes, trains and automobiles and started building markets around the world, one handshake and one relationship at a time. We used our own funds through our check off dollars and trade associations to build markets in Mexico, Canada, Latin America and the Pacific Rim. And we didn’t stop there. In partnership with the U.S. taxpayers, we built an ethanol industry to ensure another renewable energy source for U.S. consumers.

The world markets, which the president is now tearing down in the name of fairness, were built and paid for by farmers to ensure agriculture had outlets for our production so we didn’t have to come to the American taxpayer for support.

<snip>
The president calls ‘em like he sees them, and so do I. I won’t be silent any longer.

So, of course, the malignant narcissist doubles down on "fake news" being the reason journalists are the "enemy of the people." I do believe he would like to see violence against journalists as retribution for damaging his ridiculously bloated but extremely fragile ego, just as he wanted to see protestors at his rallies physically hurt. This is a sick man.
