No other president has been treated as badly as Trump. Not in recent memory. The media idolized Obama and just trashed Trump constantly. Would you do well in this environment. Most likely not.

What exactly are you trying to say?

Is it ok for Trump to be incompetent as president because you think many other people are?

Yep, that's it. Poor picked on Trump. Everyone is being mean to him. Never did anything to deserve this treatment. Cry me a river

^^^^^ Anecdotal evidence.

The links you were trying to refute don't all reflect the final numbers either.

If you take all of the people who voted for President and and divided them only into 6 household INCOME groups (not by gender, race, age, ethnicity, etc., but only by household income)...250k and above per year, $200,000 - 249,999 per year.....$100,000 - 199,999 per year.....$50,000 - 99,999 per year.....$30,000 - 49,999, and under $30,000 per year....Trump beat Hillary in the top four of those groups (250k and above.. 200-249,999....100-199,999...and 50-99,999) and Hillary clobbered Trump in the bottom two groups (30k - 49,999, and under 30k).

I disagree.

The media gave this man a long leash and plenty of free coverage when he was running. They also reported on everything he claimed. Donald Trump bragged about this, he was saving a hellll of a lot of money on the primary campaign trail.

Of course, then the criticism came to the media (appropriately so) that they were not fact checking Trump's statements, just blindly repeating any of Trump's statements. So the reporters and researchers began to check the facts more closely, and reported the facts along with any claims Donald Trump made, and of course he didn't like that, he turned on them.

All of the negative coverage of Donald Trump is because of Donald Trump. He lies about crowd sizes the first day in office, of course the media is going to report on the fact that he lied. He tweets nonsense, of course the media is going to report the nonsense, everyone will see it for what it is and react in a reasonably predictable manner (usually aghast).

That's what the media does, it reports the news. Donald makes his own news, he stews in a broth of his own recipe. The media does not treat him badly, he does it to himself.

Who said "I" picked any party. I'm firmly Independent.


Did you read the post I responded to? I think not based on this reply?

Specific quote: "Republicans are always better educated and wealthier than democrats."

Wrong.
