You're kidding, right? He wasn't even able to explain health care to persuade his own people.

But perhaps you mean that he's known for being distracted by detail. That's certainly true. There has never been a president so easily distracted, plunging into petty squabbles.

ON the other hand, not much point in discussing anything with someone who imagines CNN to be commies. How old are you? Are you left over from the 1940s mindset?

Thank you, Observer. This is something important that we should all keep reminding ourselves. In general, in America, The best news won't get the highest ratings, the best movie won't have the highest grosses, the best restaurant won't have the most patrons.

Americans just don't care about better quality, higher level options. There was an international study done recently that showed that even in shopping, Americans go for what's cheap, not what's good.

I doubt he spent much time watching tv, let alone cable news.

according to an email obtained by The New York Times. The email, an internal exchange between officials in the White House Military Office and the White House Communications Agency
First, Who leaked this to the NYT? Internal emails being leaked to the media needs to be investigated and the leaker brought up on charges.

Secondly, Is this crap really news? Trump wants the tv turned to a certain channel..wow..earth shattering news!! I am certain is was done intentionally just to create a scene so they can sell it to the media..

CNN pays airports to show their channel. I wonder how that is figured into their ratings if it all.
