It's frightening, and I'm not using that term lightly, that Trump has convinced his followers that the free press is their enemy.

Trump could be driving around with a headless body in his trunk, and his fans wouldn't care.

He's a hero, as long as he doesn't attempt to work toward compromise, reaching out in good faith to the more than half the nation who did NOT vote for him. That would kill his political career dead as a doornail overnight.

I certainly tip my hat to him for understanding the current situation in Iran, and not giving their leaders the battle they greatly hoped they could stir up with the US, but honestly. The man's a monkey with a knife.
The press isn't free. It's a regime run by elites who control the message coming out of it.

If Trump wore blackface and apologized, that's not good enough.

It's just all Orange man bad
The media is the enemy of people?

Where do you get your news? How do you stay informed?

A variety of viewpoints are expressed through the media. It's a good policy to expose oneself to all sides of the story.

Is Trump your only trusted source?

DT himself set the bar pretty high:

'I could shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters'

You're just brainwashed
Do you have a couple of examples? I feel pretty well informed. As a president, he hasn't amounted to much. He's issued a bunch of executive orders, half of which ended in lawsuits and the other half of which will be reversed by his successor. He had a majority in both houses for the first two years of his term, and didn't manage to do anything but cut taxes on rich people. He hasn't been good at garnering popular support for legislation.

I think you are confusing real news with cable news editorial comment. Cable "news" really doesn't report much. Most of the content seems to be opinion. If you want the news, stick to ABC, CBS, NBC, and print sources like the AP.

Here are today's AP stories about Trump. What "good things" is he doing right now that haven't been reported?
