The press has become way too complacent and "cocky"
THEY say and print downright LIES all the time and are never called out on them.
If the media wants to treated like adults and NOT adolescents, then THEY need to start acting like adults.
It's a 2 way street.
No, it's a one way street. Donald Trump is loose cannon and an authoritarian demagogue who is
determined to silence anything negative about him. New rule: only believe what he tweets and
Fox News or there will be consequences.
He talks like a New Yorker who knows how to communicate with the people. You think those Union leaders he met with respect Obama's eloquence? No.
Did you catch the "Sneaky Rats" comment last night? Love it. That's the way a normal New Yorker talks.
Obama talked over the people. Trump talks to the people.
And, yet, so many New Yorkers hate him.
Wonder why? Maybe because he rarely paid people for their services?
Lots of people call others "sneaky" and I bet you can find Obama mentioning something being sneaky at some point over the past 8 years.
Obama talked the way a person with a decent-sized vocabulary should talk.
That people cannot understand more than a handful of words is not the fault of the President. It's the fault of our education system and/or some very lousy homeschooling.
I don't need a President to dumb things down for me.
Especially one that's not exactly a genius. You can talk TO the people without sounding like an idiot.
Bush Jr did this. Yeah... he had gaffes sometimes and he mispronounced "nuclear" but he was a good example of a "regular guy" type of talker.
And, yet... he was largely a good public speaker and he still is.
You can be laid back and approachable and not sound like a rambling dummy all the time.

It's like a cult, and that's what makes it so scary. They have already displayed that truth doesn't matter, that evidence and logic simply don't matter.
It is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen and it does remind me of the Nazis and/or the McCarthy era rhetoric.
It is a very bad sign.

Where were all the left media when Hilary was proven to be a liar by Comey and she went everywhere saying how the FBI said she was truthful?
The left might have mentioned it for 1 minute then went back to Trump bashing for 1 hour.
You wonder why Trump call all these people dishonest.
When their candidate was getting hammered for lying to the FBI, they were more concerned about whose p*ssy Trump grabbed while people died at Benghazi.
You still wondering why he got elected?
Trump is now the President of the United States of America. Not Hillary.
Love it when a weak liberal like the head anchor guy at ABC gets it handed to him.
I have to say even though I didn't vote for either major party candidate, now I see how Trump won the presidency in an electoral vote landslide.
He has perfect communication skills and is one of the best persuaders in all the land.
I was loving Trump's world class communication skills, while listening to ABC liberal David Muir asking question after question and time after time Trump had a brilliant answer. Muir sounded like a college level interviewer at best.
Muir kept trying to entrap Trump an Trump kept refusing to be entrapped.
Every time I have my doubts on Trump, I see his amazing interviews and now see why he is the President of the United States.
I never heard of David Muir so I went to ABC for the transcript/ tape of this interview.
What I read and heard was with was a whole lot of double talk, deflection and attempts to pivot when Muir pressed on the 3-5 million and crowd size.
1) Paying for the Wall
Trump: " I never said they ( Mexico) would pay up front".
2) Dreamers
Trump: " They don't have to worry about this. I have a heart and will take care of everyone". He will make an announcement in 4 weeks.
3) 3-5 Million illegal votes
Trump blamed the media as this was said in private.
Dead people and people registered in 2 states ( like his own family and close advisor) are voting.
Trump: " We are going to find out""
Paul Ryan and Lindsey Graham are not buying into it.
Trump: Millions of people agree with me. Smart people".
4) Crowd Size
Trump: Fox and Hannity say it was a great speech. Turn on Fox News. You people, people like you demean my crowds, the biggest ever".
"PassageAn authorization by Congress was sought by President George W. Bush soon after his September 12, 2002 statement before the U.N. General Assembly asking for quick action by the Security Council in enforcing the resolutions against Iraq.[5][6]
Of the legislation introduced by Congress in response to President Bush's requests,[7]S.J.Res. 45sponsored by Sen. Daschle & Sen. Lott was based on the original White House proposal authorizing the use of force in Iraq, H.J.Res. 114 sponsored by Rep. Hastert & Rep. Gephardt and the substantially similar S.J.Res. 46 sponsored by Sen. Lieberman were modified proposals. H.J.Res. 110 sponsored by Rep. Hastings was a separate proposal never considered on the floor. Eventually, the Hastert-Gephardt proposal became the legislation Congress focused on."
Maybe not in the States but go back about 80+ years to Europe and you'll find a man who (for a while) was similarly adored. He appealed to his country's sense of national pride, promising (and delivering) to get rid of the undesirables that were dragging the country down. Promised to restore lost jobs and economic prosperity to a populace that felt beat down and betrayed by their government, build a stronger military and to win the war on terrorism.
Sound familiar?
Oh absolutely and I was thinking only of the states because that is what I am familiar with.
