Sanders doesn't sit around calling all the major news networks a bunch of liars with some sort of conspiratorial agenda to misrepresent what he says, either.

The only people who need to deeply mistrust the media are people who are trying to lie to the media.

See: Trump and his administration.

There is no way in the world that EVERY media outlet but Breitbart is lying to try to ruin Trump. They could have done that last year before he had gained so much momentum.

I do think they might as well stop interviewing Kellyanne, though. She says absolutely nothing. She deflects.

That is ALL she does.

And lies, but that's a given from his crew.

Think about this,

A large country with extensive natural resources, and a strong agrarian base (which has historically provided national food security). National security, provided by a strong military and relative geographic isolation.

you mix that with globalization, open border, multiculturalism, PC culture, cheap imported labor...

Yikes!

add: Great military success and the relative weakness first of post war Europe and later of the post-colonial and communist/post-communist world; the exceptional way that US culture favours entrepreneurship; the fundamental decency of most Americans, even today.

entrepreneurship is important, so make America investors friendly again.
My investments have quadrupled since Jan 2009, most of them were invested in America. America is hardly unfriendly to investors.

Tell that to the people living in poverty , living in the woods, living with their homes deteriorating as they have no job and stuck on welfare. Plenty of people out there struggling. It isn't about you.

Thanks to Obama giving Iran millions of dollars in cash you might just have to use them.

You might be able to go online and get discounts on rations bought when Obama came into office. See you're not worried about that last chunk of money Obama sent to the Palestinian people, but hey, its keeping America and Israel safe.

Exaggerations. We are strapped with too many regulations here . It has created poverty in many areas with all the factories closing. If we don't grow our tax base , being that we are 20 trillion in debt, we will of course go bankrupt and look like Venezuela.

Too much money going out to China, Mexico, and the middle east for product and we are in the hole of debt. Government has sucked the taxpayer dry and spent like drunken fools.

How is anything Trump proposing going to help end or alleviate poverty in the US?

His jobs goal of 25 million in 10 years is the same rate of job growth that the US is currently experiencing.

REAL CHANGE.
My rights come from the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Real change comes from
understanding the two.
"Taking the power of Washington DC as acquired (illegally) and giving it back to you, the people..."
is an oxymoron since "the swamp" wasn't drained, it was replaced with billionaires, corporate
executives and individuals who either sued or wanted to eliminate the agencies they are heading.
How does God help the people below?
