Perhaps you are confusing real news outlets with opinion and entertainment outlets whose sole purpose is to bark and clap approvingly for anything Trump does.

Not a word of thanks to President Trump from most of the RAG sheet newspapers for our current high
economy. Democrats run the White House since last election and what have they done. NOTHING.....
We almost lost our country under Obama and the Democrats. Lets Make America Great Again.. under
President Trump....
Our country has always been great. Trump inherited a growing economy from Obama. How do democrats run the White House.

Here's the thing boys and girls.... it is not about or will ever be what president Trump has accomplished, or wishes to accomplish and what will be accomplished, that by itself is clearly self evident. The lie our lefty haters tell themselves is... all accomplishments after Obama is from Obama.

This hate is purely against the person, Donald Trump. It's like this, when your whole paradigm is based on a contrived outcome of "fairness" and not outcome, this is the fruit of losing in 2016. It's not fair. He cheated. Where's our trophy.

There isn't a lefty who doesn't appreciate the outcome of the economy, but hate is a powerful intellectual stumbling block.

Seems you're more than a mite confused, Johnny.

Your boy tRump is in the WH and has been for the past 2 and a half years.

Of course, maybe you're referring to how Pelosi leads him around by the nose since January.

And he doesn't know how to deal with her.

Maybe he should offer to fall in love with her.

Why does Trump need these so called "RAG sheet newspapers" to praise him everyday anyways when he has his own Soviet style media propaganda outlet in Fox News?

If you think the media is independent, I have a bridge you might be interested in.
