Gateway Pundit is Daily Kos for Trump cultists.

They still haven't published a single story with regards to his blatant desire to violate the 2nd Amendment without due process. Even Breitbart has done multiple stories on it.

Those pesky facts and details always get in the way.

If ya can't defend and aggrandize Trump with facts--then just leave a few out--it's in the Nunes GOP manual.

Ad hominem fallacy.

Try disputing the actual .gov numbers presented.

Can't disturb those carefully cultivated confirmation bias media bubbles now can they?

Talk about cherry picking. Comparing to Obama's last year is much more relevant. Except that then flips the story with Trump having increased the deficit over the last few years of Obama.

Projected deficit of 2018 is nearly double that of 2015.

That is an absolute fact. Oh and bonus, Trump's economy is booming too.
You refuse to accept the many points I've made because you can't accept the fact that Trump loves big government and will spend this country into oblivion to get it.

The article you posted states he raised the debt by 1/2, not that his deficit spending is half. There's a difference. The term "deficit spending" never appears once in the article you posted.

His plan for massive taxes (aka "tariffs") will crash the economy faster than you can say "fiat money."

I'm not disputing anything. Sure, he's increased the debt half of what Obama did--so what? Why doesn't his budget LOWER the debt and NOT spend at a deficit?

The debt has increased by $1 trillion in Trump's first year of office.

The vast majority of economists agree that the federal government will be running trillion-dollar deficits (at minimum) for the next few years.

I swear to God, trying to talk to Trump cultists is as bad as trying to talk to the most SJW leftist you can imagine. They're all so thick-headed.

I don't agree with the left on a lot of s**t but they have in my experience been at least reasonably consistent, you know what you agree with and what you don't.

The republican party as of late seems to have gone off the rails in a transition into an amorphous opportunistic blob of beliefs. One day argue one thing next day the complete opposite. Troll logic abounds and seems to have become a replacement for reason. YMMV

Imagine hiring a new CEO who spent his term complaining that he inherited the mess. They wouldn't last long, I bet.
Really? Only a trickle? Right.
