Why you think the White House talkers, are always jumped on? Because the respond to what the pres said... Then they lie too, or come up with conjectures - so they get berated. Every single word the president says is noted, recorded, fact checked and inquired to. All presidents since the begining of news!

So there hasn't been any news outlet that asked for clarification of the presidents statement regarding Sweden? Why am I not surprised lol.

The means are the actions. Do you mean, do the ends justify the means?

Even if that is what you meant, I still need you to be more specific. Maybe give an example?

Don't be ridiculous. If that's your position, then who needs a free press and why are the press and the left so het up about Trump criticizing them.

How do you decide whos telling the truth? Based on your feelings?

Personally, I prefer to wait for all the info to shake out. Sooner or later the press will get off their collective rears and produce some facts rather than their OPINION that Trump deliberately lied.

But thanks anyway.
So since you have decided that Trump deliberately lied about Sweden, can you tell me what you think the purpose of that lie was?

I voted for Trump and did not drink the Kool-Aid. He and his admin are the source of most fake news.

One full quarter later he's still opening with and responding to questions by talking about the landslide Electoral College victory and claiming it was the greatest since Reagan. These claims are echoed by his Admin in broader terms, like " historic blowout.

He would have been correct to say he won by a greater margin than Bush 2 given Obama ( twice), Bill Clinton (twice) and Bush 1 all won by greater margins.

When a reporter challenged him, , Trump did the " I don't know. I was given these numbers. I've seen them around".

It has become an "Emperor's News Clothes" sort of thing.

Why is he still lying about his win, more than one-quarter of a year after the election?

This crap will continue to diminishe his credibility and could overshadow whatever good his admin is able to accomplish.

100%, for eight years.

Libs should be able to endure as good as we got from 0bozo.

So far they appear to be faltering. They haven't stopped crying since Nov. 8th.

He is either really stupid and fails to pay attention or he's moderately stupid and thinks he's smarter than everyone else and no one will fact check the lies he tells.
Good points. I think he is also very insecure and needs to be "the best" or the "biggest" to make himself feel better.
