I also really like how he has exposed just how ridiculous and negative the Lefty mass media is and how mired in the muck DC is.

Trump has shown us much of what is wrong in our country and if Hillary had won we wouldn't be privy to any of this bad stuff because the media would have covered it up and given her a pass.

Keep up the good work President Trump.
So he hasn't really done anything, in other words. The American people made him President. He certainly didn't do it. And choosing a judge takes no effort on his part, especially since making appointments don't require cooperating with anyone else, a notorious weakness of Trump's.

That’s impressive.
Actually Trump supported the other guy in the Primary. If he had been successful, the new Senator from Alabama would be a Republican. You cannot blame Trump for Moore. Sure, he tacitly supported the Republican nominee. There is no way he could avoid that, with the balance of the Senate at hand.

We are the big swinging dick we don't cower to dictators and multinationals.

Clearly, anyone who brags, as you do, about a president being a "big swinging dick" has problems. That admits right there that you admire people who are mouthy, self-aggrandizing bullies.

No, that's not what an American president should look like. An American president should be fairly even-tempered, well-informed, with a good grasp of history, well-spoken, trustworthy, respecting expertise, respecting traditionalal American values, focused on freedom and fairness, not on money. Instead we have someone who is petty, easily swayed because he's so ignorant, greedy, bigoted, predatory, unstable, strutting - an embarrassment to all decent people.

He's helped Europe a lot. He's like a cautionary morality tale.

..."Donald Trump just accomplished the impossible — a united Europe.

The spectacle (and specter) of his chaotic presidency has already given the Continent’s establishment a powerful weapon in the battle against populism, helping centrist, pro-EU politicians ride to victory in a string of elections..."

There's that right wing pessimism.

Spiced up with a dash of doom and gloom.

Not tacitly. He tweeted and held a rally nearby in Florida, in a place that shared airwaves (to my understanding) with some of Alabama. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbc...-rally-n828021

IMHO the greatest contribution President Trump has made to the United States of America, bigger than a great USSC Justice, greater than the tax cut, greater than repealing thousands of Obama big-govt EOs, bigger than keeping Hillary out of the Oval Office....

.... is his feat of stripping away the power of the media to fool people by providing biased reporting. Ignoring the Republican side while boosting the Democrat side, faking success of Democrat programs that never deliver as promised, ignoring Democrat failures etc. He has done this with a yearlong campaign of pointing out exactly what the media is doing, giving and backing up example after example, and challenging people to make their own decisions about media reliability.

Pointing out the truth about Democrats is like shining sunlight on a vampire - it's the kiss of death for their political agenda.

And Trump has succeeded bigly, shrugging off their attacks and smears, laughing at their feigned outrage, and continuing to point out examples of their deceptions and outright lies. His "Annual Best Fake News Awards" were a masterstroke, that drove the truth home in ways that left the media screaming in rage but unable to refute them.

Never was this more obvious than in their caving on the recent government shutdown. The media did their usual announcements that it was all Republicans' fault... and nobody believed them.

It's an earth-shaking change to the political environment in this country... and one long overdue.

Without the media to cover for them, the Democrats can't win a seat as dogcatchers. As long as people know what they are actually doing, and how miserably their plans usually ail, no one will vote for them.

Thank you, President Trump. Keep up the good work!

Something funny happened in 1972, even though later his dishonesty got the better of him.

It is not a "them". The media keeps every president in check. Are we just supposed to believe what a president tells us. We are not that stupid. Well I guess some of us are lol
