Thumbs up to Trump for proceeding with the Keystone and Dakota pipelines. This will add thousands of jobs, 3 billion to our GDP, and protect against highly fluctuating gas prices. This is actually a safer way of transporting oil compared to rail car.

Thumbs down. Trump bringing up that Millions of illegal immigrants voted for Clinton. Trump has a huge ego and I would expect comments like this from time to time. I think he will learn to avoid these situations better. Approximately 20% of the questions to Sean Spicer today dealt with this.

That's because real people care that their President is a yuge liar.

I haven't read TPP but Russia and China wanted us to leave TPP so that alone seems safe to presume us leaving it is bad.
No, wrong on every point.

There is no doubt John Q Citizen can get a better deal than what TPP gives them.

Was there any hope of TPP if clinton won what with republican congress and all? Serious question

If there were 3-5 million fraudulent votes, maybe the election should be declared null and void. We can't know that fraudulent votes didn't put Trump over the top.

I think there was a good chance it would have passed during the lame duck. Also, remember that most support for TPP in Congress comes from Republicans, not Democrats.

But he is a populist. Isn't that your safety net?

Crowd size, fraudulent votes, Kellyanne dishonesty, and what have you being focus points of the media and the left. Meanwhile, the pace of the change that TRUMP is bringing about is incredible. For instance why aren't guys standing up for TPP, explaining why deregulation is a bad thing, why TRUMP's tax reform agenda is a bad thing, the pipelines are bad, and a whole host of other issues? Really I think TRUMP creates theses irrelevant distractions on purpose for obvious reasons.

Jonathan Karl actually asked Spicer if it was the TRUMP administration's intention is to tell the truth. No what is Spicer supposed to say, "No Jonathan we plan to lie and obfuscate as much as possible."

Trump expected to order temporary ban on refugees

This would be nice. Importing 3rd world fanatics is very low energy.

and the media falls for it every time. he still has them talking about irrelevant things like inauguration crowd size, as if even if he were lying about it, that anybody would care. trump has already kept more of his campaign promises in the first 5 days than hillary would have in 4 years. thats the only thing that voters care about.

The word irrelevant is the key. Trump would much rather people be talking about these things than questioning what policy moves he is making. It's like throwing a screen pass against an overly aggressive defense. He knows the media is looking to pounce. Your right, the media falls for it everytime as do many on this forum.

Spicer was correct in saying this was the most watched Inaugural. Add up All the social media and News outlets. This was also the highest rated Inaugural. Don't forget,people needed tickets This year and the security was extremely tight.

Plus in DC he only got 4% of the vote and I think the closest county he won was 45 miles away. So he wasn't gonna draw much from the home team.
