Today Trump cut off federal funding for abortion, and for organizations that refer to abortionists, Trump took us out of the TPP, is renegotiating NAFTA, he will be meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada, and the President of Mexico in the next week. The patient freedom act of 2017 has been introduced today. A federal hiring freeze has been instituted, as has a federal wage freeze, covering all but the military. FoxConn agreed to spend 7.5 billion dollars in the U.S. to create American jobs making Apple products. Trump froze new regulation that cost money to a company, and announced his intent to remove 75% or more of federal regulations. It's his 4th day in office. He isn't waiting for you or the mainstream media. Today he met with CEO's and labor leaders, later this week, there is a Republican congressional retreat he will be attending. All Republicans have announced they will support his cabinet nominees. All will get through.
So tell me, where is he held up by nonsense put out by our press?
Foxconn is in TALKS with Apple not GOING to do anything, I imagine they have to figure out the small detail of a supply chain. Every GOP president has repealed the mexico city abortion rule and every democrat has reenacted it. The patient freedom act is quite interesting because he has given individuals mandate to not obey penalties for participating and now this bills lets states keep Obamacare if they want to but it seems to me they wont be able to since that whole pool of money thing does not pass mustard by most analysts, we shall see it playout, I am for any action at his point anything or than delay works for me.

He's putting out nonsense while signing bills for stuff Republicans want him to do.
He's not actually spearheading any of this.
He's too busy tweeting and crying into his gold brocade sofas.
And, if you think you want iPhones made in America, I will go ahead and assume you're willing to pay at least triple for them, because FoxConn workers in Asia make pennies per hour, not dollars and Apple is not going to start selling these things at a loss.

When in doubt, check it out: FAQ
1. Who said Obama's TV ratings were higher? Polls again?
2. It was not an issue until the lying media made it an issue and they still won't stop talking about it.
Nielsen ratings. If you're going to call something a lie, you should bring more than your opinions. I mean this is all easily verifiable stuff. Trumps Inauguration was the second-highest watched since Reagan in 1981. Second to Obama in 2009.
Spicer said it was the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period, when you include all of the people in the U.S. and around the world who watched it on television and on the internet.
Interesting that you left that part out.
He said this was the "largest audience to witness the inauguration, both IN PERSON and globally"
He did not say, both in person and globally combined.
He did not say, both in person and globally together.
You can try to change the meaning of a sentence, but that would be just more lying.
We also know that the "in person" crowd was small and that the televised audience was smaller than Obama's inauguration. No one has any means of knowing how big the worldwide internet audience was and have the ability to compare it to other inaugurations.
Result. BS (or in other words - a lie.)

Let's clarify, it was the largest crowd in person and on-line. He made sure to put the "on-line" part in hist statement but of course we just clip that out and only note the picture. Two things here, one is that 2009 was the first time a black president was elected so of course there was going to be a larger crowd turnout for that because regardless of your policy it was a historic event. Secondly the pic of 2009 was when Obama was speaking while the one for Trump was before the main ceremony began. Also there was MUCH heavier security setup, and I don't want to say for certain that it held up lines and attendance but I'm sure it played a role.
I'm not condoning but it's the same thing as the corrected MLK bust story, they are just looking to pick and pull apart any little thing because it's Trump. How about asking questions on policy and actual issues.
Not sure what you are talking about. He never even said "on-line" in the entire diatribe.
And, if you think you want iPhones made in America, I will go ahead and assume you're willing to pay at least triple for them, because FoxConn workers in Asia make pennies per hour, not dollars and Apple is not going to start selling these things at a loss.
So you are OK with manufacturers putting work in 3rd world countries where workers are treated like slaves and paid nothing?

"We know that from the platform from where the President was sworn in to 4th Street holds about 250,000 people. From 4th Street to the media tent is about another 220,000. And from the media tent to the Washington Monument another 250,000 people. All of this space was full when the President took the oath of office." Spicer
No, not even close.
I don't recall any mention of biggest crowd ever if included those on their iPhones, and iPads.
At the press conference that just ended, Spicer walked the original statement back making it clear that the term "largest" audience could ONLY apply if you add "in person" and "global" together. He implied that he "meant" that originally even though that's NOT the plain meaning of what he said. A bit ingenious as he tried to look surprised that anyone could even THINK differently. Really? Then what was the purpose of all the original discussion on numbers of people that would fit in section by section and the photos?
The press pushed him to give a direct statement, which he did - The in-person audience at the Trump inauguration was NOT the largest to witness an inauguration. Spicer also committed to tell the truth in press conferences to the best of his knowledge.
