The mainstream media is playing right into President Trump's hands by hating on him.
I think President Trump will win even more independents in 2020 than 2016, because of the mainstream media's behavior.
I am a fan!

In fact I follow only two people on Twitter and one is a reporter for .... wait for it....the Washington Post. His name is Philip Bump and I find his reporting well researched and worth reading.

Recently he was comparing how the GOP continued to support Nixon despite Watergate.

The other person I follow is Preet Bharara.


Here is an excellent example of Philip Bump's writing...

You brought up Germany in the 1930's. I agreed and went farther than you did to see the big picture, not the walls of the echo chamber you are living in.

The Globalist have been encroaching and then completely taking our liberties and god given rights, so a one world government will rule over us, without a constitution to protect our individual rights as humans.

The federal government does so many things that are totally unconstitutional, because 5 people in black robes say it is OK. When the text clearly says it is not. If we worked off of intent, instead of the text of the law, we would not have anchor babies running around everywhere like parasites.

Yes, once President Trump and the Republican Congress push through these tax cuts for the wealthy, the average worker will no doubt get behind them.


Say, did you see where Mr. Trump's tax proposal would limit mortgage deductions for many, or those whose mortgage is less than $600,000? And that your payment of local property taxes would no longer be deductible?

And let us not forget getting rid of the estate tax, which would allow the wealthiest Americans to pass their wealth, tax-free, to their children, and to their children after that. It will be just like Old England!

Yeah, while I don't disagree that civil liberties have been taking their hits over the years, I'm not quite ready to go tin-foil hat and embrace the "one-world government" conspiracy, sorry.

Geez Bent..really? I don't know about your liberties..but mine are doing just fine. 'God given rights"? Well..leaving aside The whole 'God' exists thing--If He/She does exist..all we get out of Him/Her is life..and death. Everything else is on us. The whole concept of 'Rights' is man-made..and fairly recent, at that.

C'mon...explain to us how this post was, in any way, relevant to the topic at hand...I dare ya!

President Trump does have his supporters. One is President Putin, apparently:


Donald Trump latest: Live updates from Washington - CNNPolitics.com


"Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dimitry Peskov, continued to insist that the story of Trump sharing classified intelligence with Russian officials was “nonsense,” even after Trump tweeted about his "absolute right" to share information with Russia."


Of course, given Mr. Trump's propensity for lying, no doubt the Russians thought that what Mr. Trump was saying was false information.

Trump is being exposed as a lacky of Putin's.
Wrong.

In essence, he gave intelligence on ISIS which could be used to thwart their attacks. This is not inconsistent with recent trends in Syria where there has been some cooperation between anti-ISIS forces backed by the US and Russia.

Syrian Army, Kurdish forces team up against ISIS in Aleppo

Philip Bump goes over the three press releases by the Three Stooges and shows where they are in agreement with the original Washington Post story and then discusses the Trump tweets.
