I find it highly entertaining to see conservatives defend the behavior of President Donald J. Trump, behavior that would got a low level public service employee fired in most instances.

Nothing like listening to someone explain the virtues of a train wreck.

Trump has a longstanding friendship with the CEO of the NE. Trump has defended the supermarket tabloid and has had articles written for it. WSJ reported last August NE paid $150,000 to prevent a story about Trump's affair with a model from being sold elsewhere.

Trump seems to prefer the likes of Alex Jones and NE to news organizations that do investigative journalism and expose lies.

As an aside, The NYT was the first to expose Hillary's email deal.

I voted for Trump and did not drink the Kool aid. I will not excuse or defend this crap.

He seems to enjoy campaigning and addressing cheering crowds. The business of doing the job with dignity - not so much.

His tweets tell the world his character. Believe him.
That's right, about 25% of voting age adults for Hillary, about the same for Trump. The reason why Trump is in office is that 50% of the voting age public that didn't bother to go to the polls. If Trump supporters think he has a mandate, that is a complete delusion.

Funny, how did you know? But seriously, two years since he came on the scene and you and others like you STILL don't get it. You still think that he just went one tweet too far. This is it. This one is going to sink him. If anything, he has smoked out the "impartial" media. Anderson Cooper wanted to look like the above-it-all "moderator." Look at him now. He's been reduced to a raggedy activist in a fine suit.

There is more to this than we are being told.

The conversation then proceeded to discuss what the hell is the POTUS doing. The world is in a mess. People are killing and being killed all over the place. We need a solution to the out of control cost of healthcare. And the POTUS tweets and watches tv.

Is this what we have become?

Idiocracy is a documentary.
We elected a reality television star as President, this is all unfolding as many thought it would. Not the Honey Boo Boo watchers who put this man in the White House, but educated people who can hear someone lie so prodigiously as Pres. Trump and know that this man is a charlatan.

Clearly, he is decompensating at an ever-increasing rate.
I wonder how long it will take before he starts to talk to the portraits on the WH walls, as Tricky Dick was doing during his final days.

Just like I said. Americans hate the MSM pundits on the news channels.

They love it when Trump punches them back.

The election proved it. LOL

The constantly Trump outraged never seem to figure this out.

Can't wait for the "all polls are fake news" responses. Its very predictable, same old deflections, excuses, exaggerations that we hear from the cult. How dare you present them with statistics that undermine their position? I can ASSURE you that the Republican Representatives and Senators are watching those polls very, very closely.
