Go ahead, tell me in which statement did I lie?

Both statements are factually accurate, both have entirely different takeaways....
Good point. When you add to it the fact that technology (via the media and social media) sends these potentially biased statements instantly at the speed of light all over the globe, and also the fact that any picture, video, or evidence can be altered by technology, you have a system that is broken. The gap between the two sides will continue to widen until a solution is found.

Both sides are so right, and so wrong, at the same time. I see no hope for a compromise anymore, where people don't melt down or commit acts of violence.

Trump is so incredibly rude and condescending, the way he belittles and gestures people who ask him tough questions. Why does anybody still like this man? He's a pig.

Silly question I guess, because I know Trump supporters cheer when he insults people.

Seriously? He's had a spineless bunch of rubber stampers in the House. Afraid to cross him, call him out, deny him or investigate his shady finances and ethics violations. That will change a lot.

And, Maxine Waters will be in charge of the House Financial Services Committee. That should make some WH heads explode.

"...Meanwhile, Mr Trump's only hope of achieving any signature laws is by working across the aisle - which may be a heavy lift for a man who spent the past few months disparaging his political opponents in the starkest of language at rallies across the country...."

Trump has gone off the rails. Attacking people personally and insulting them.

How in the world can Trump call somebody else rude?! LMAO!

Not really sure why you think that’s funny. She’ll drive Trump nuts in that role.

The media wants to argue. They seem less willing to actually report. All three networks Trump mention reported, positively, less than 5 min. on the economy

He just blamed the Invasion of Eastern Ukraine on Obama. The room was dumbfounded. He knows exactly what he is doing (he has always been that way). The media turns against him, he makes them the enemy. The HOR turns on him - they will be the enemy. He knows who his supporters are and how to motivate them. His real skill in the last election was turning out people to vote. No one was particularly excited to vote for Hillary whereas his supporters were chomping at the bit to vote for him.



This Democratic house could be completely played by him to his advantage if he provokes them into bad behavior - that's his MO.
