He's not.
He's trying to tear the foundation of our country down and rip it apart.

The foundation of our Republic is the US Constitution. It has been torn and ripped apart for the last century and a half to allow tyranny to encroach. Where have you been?

"The Donald" is trying his best to restore that document to its full glory. Giving back what was taken from the people to decide for themselves. Not government making the decision for everyone.
LIBERTY!!!

CNN

Hey, CNN isn't the punchline

*Through the laughter* Yes it is!
Laugh a lot if that makes you feel good but CNN isn`t the news network proven to make dumb people dumber. My cat and dog are better informed than a FOX viewer as shown by 2 university studies.

Clinton was a lot more informed via CNN.

Lest we forget Donna Brazile!

... CNN is marketing, not news.

Except the tweet did happen. You guys make fun of Chinese news for being objective on China, what makes you think a very pro-Trump source is going to be objective and truthful about Trump? All you want is to confirm firm your own biases. You're not interested in being informed, just another wingnut looking for his own views to be validated.

How are you any different from RT reporting objectively on Russia, or the Chinese state news reporting objectively on China and the CCP? Let that sink in for a moment

It's the point being made by presenting the information and your ability to look at both objectively that should be nurtured.

Revering the source because it always says what you desire to hear is a recipe for turning you all into lemmings.

Garnering information you can use to make informed judgments should involve more brain cells than those used to pick your favourite candy bar off the rack.

Donald Trump's most bone-chilling tweet (opinion) - CNN.com
Even more terrifying is that his tactics are working--at least with his target audience. Notice how any news report, from any source whatsoever, is labeled "fake news" if it is not flattering or favorable to Trump? He has successfully called into question any criticism of himself as not being legitimate, and the lemmings are falling right in line, dutifully parroting that line and screaming "FAKE NEWS!" whenever anyone attempts to point out any fact that makes Donald look bad.

And now he has set to work doing the same thing with the courts, Now any judge who disagrees with him or threatens to thwart his objectives is not a "real judge." Nope, he or she is just a "so-called" judge now.

The judiciary is our last defense against a dictatorship, and Trump is working to tear that last barrier down. And we are all doomed and our democracy lost if we allow this to happen.

Did he tweet out insults in "quotes"?

I have seen no evidence of that. I would truly appreciate if someone could politely enlighten me? Specifics? With Constitutional citations? I would love to feel better about what he is doing.

You mean REAL PROPAGANDA.

The leftist media propaganda machine has not suddenly become responsible and started to accurately report news. As expected, the media is attacking Trump.

Did the media attack or question any of Obama's policies?
