The Trump Presidency: Part 20

I'm glad the election is coming up, as it will give people the opportunity to compile Trump's shenanigans and lies into bite-sized political ads.

Granted, lots of the trumpkins won't see them because they probably shun the channels that are likely to air anti-Trump ads like the plague, but it might help reinforce the point for everyone else.

It read something like "Trump has to watch to see what ******** the media is saying about him. And other Presidents watched TV!"

The whataboutisms are like knee-jerk reactions to them, aren't they.

Trump supporters can never answer.

That was going to be the first question I posed, adding "He has advisors that can do that for him. But he never listens to them anyway."

I was also going to add "Butter emails!!!" but I knew there was no point in further engagement, especially on my FB page.

Governor
@GavinNewsom
of California has been very nice & highly supportive about the great job we have done, working together, for California. That is the good news, but this is the bad. He is unfairly under attack by the Radical Left Dems, MSDNC etc. He is strong! Will he fold?

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board doesn’t have a clue on how to fight and win. Their views on Tariffs & Trade are losers for the U.S., but winners for other countries, including China. If we followed their standards, we’d have no Country left. They should love Sleepy Joe!

Watching @FoxNews on weekend afternoons is a total waste of time. We now have some great alternatives, like @OANN.

John Oliver's take on OANN.

See especially beginning around 9:30, where Liz Wheeler has an opinion that ends (apparently seriously) with- "Don't let transgender penguins fool you!" No, really- she says that. It doesn't matter who you are, that right there is funny stuff.

Yes, don't feed the trolls still holds up as a general rule, at least if you can distinguish between the ones who want to have genuine discussions and those who just want to create noise to derail the discussion, alt-right playbook-style. "Other Presidents watch TV, too!" would get people instantly unfriended, muted, or blocked by me, too, if I saw it on social media.

You actually believe China's official numbers are even remotely close to the truth?

Oh look, critical thinking. Now apply it to your Dear Leader.

Really? It’s kind of a softball question.

“So that he knows how to treat each reporter during press briefings”

“So that he can get the real facts that his deep-state eceutive agencies won’t provide”

“So that he can make sure his supporters have access to all the information that the nasty, failing, low-ratings liberal news agencies are hiding.” (I love how the president considers “low ratings” one of the meanest and harshest things he can hurl at his detractors.

“So that he can call-in to Fox in real time to correct or clarify information.”

Great businessman & philanthropist Bernie Marcus, Co-Founder of Home Depot, said that Congress was too distracted by the (phony) Impeachment Witch Hunt when they should have been investigating CoronaVirus when it first appeared in China. Media played a big roll also!@dcexaminer

A very good sign is that empty hospital beds are becoming more and more prevalent. We deployed 418 Doctors, Nurses and Respiratory Therapists from the hospital ship Comfort and the Javits Convention Center to hospitals in NYC & State. Have more bed capacity than was needed. Good!

HAPPY EASTER!

Wow, really? Murdoch organs Fox News and WSJ are part of the deep state conspiracy? Please, let him believe so. Let his supporters reject more and more Fox News and the WSJ. Until finally they are wondering ... why are so many out to get "perfect" Donald Trump?

To call OANN even a 'news source' is ludicrous. It's nothing but a right-wing propaganda site.

Overall, we rate One America News Far right biased based on story selection that consistently favors the Right and Mixed for factual reporting due to promotion of conspiracies, lack of sourcing and a few failed fact checks. OANN is one failed fact check away from moving to the Questionable Source list.

I guess they're running actual news show, as opposed to the opinion shows which is where he gets his adoration.

Remember, he had a pretty big grudge on Shep Smith for actually telling the truth, instead of kow-towing and sticking to the alternative facts.

For the first time in history there is a fully signed Presidential Disaster Declaration for all 50 States. We are winning, and will win, the war on the Invisible Enemy!

The big Oil Deal with OPEC Plus is done. This will save hundreds of thousands of energy jobs in the United States. I would like to thank and congratulate President Putin of Russia and King Salman of Saudi Arabia. I just spoke to them from the Oval Office. Great deal for all!

Just watched Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris Wallace, on @FoxNews. I am now convinced that he is even worse than Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Meet the Press(please!), or the people over at Deface the Nation. What the hell is happening to @FoxNews. It’s a whole new ballgame over there!

If the Fake News Opposition Party is pushing, with all their might, the fact that President Trump “ignored early warnings about the threat,” then why did Media & Dems viciously criticize me when I instituted a Travel Ban on China? They said “early & not necessary.” Corrupt Media!
