You don’t think the media and liberals in general pay too much attention to his twitter and too little about real national or world events? I get that the media intentional plays to a stupid crowd, but this play is too obvious.

Lol so you still think I actually believe trump sounds smart and/or smooth during his speeches?

The more correct version is that I don't care about what you believe, only what you write.

They probably do at times, but I think that is a good thing for Trump, because if people focused on what he was actually doing he wouldn't be able to maintain the level of support he has. His base is fueled by enmity with little regard for actual policy and the focus on his insane ranting on twitter helps fuel that enmity and distracts from the fact that he has done essentially nothing that he promised in his campaign. On balance that is probably a good thing for the country, but it would hurt him if his base actually realised that he has piled multiple layers of **** into the swamp instead of draining it, done virtually nothing with regards to non-interventionism (and when he did do something it was a monumental screw-up), achieved nothing towards the "repeal and replace" of the ACA, and that the infamous "wall" is pretty much non-existent.

not sure but I can tell the last one is fake because it was actually an iron cross medal

The k-9's name is classified so I'll just call him good booooyyy.

*This just in, Trump has informed the people k-9's should be called dogs*

I wasn't aware of this, but this dog is a beautiful dog... a talented dog... the best dog.

I'd gander that numero 3 is the fake one since a doge is not involved.

lol. Thank you.

When you defend every single one of Trump’s actions and pretend like you are doing it to own the libs you just come off stupid.

You are not scoring any points, you are not embarrassing anyone (but yourself), you are not pointing out anything farcical. All you are doing is continually throwing your hat in with every single trump action or announcement. You don’t get to pretend like you are not doing it or above it all. You fight for him endlessly. It does not matter why you do it, the result is always the same, you being completely foolish.

There are 30-40 million incredibly dumb people who believe everything Trump says and does. There is no area for satire by just throwing in with that group. Everyone correctly assumes you are just one of them. Thinking you are performing some high minded tweaking just cements the idiocy involved. Ultimately it doesn’t really matter if you believe everything you keep saying or not, the world’s opinion of you is exactly the same.

Smooth brained.

LOL....ooooh wrong thread.

Didn't Trump bailed out farmers after ruining them in his trade war?

Saying I defend every on of trump's actions is wrong. I think I have opposed him just as much as anyone else in this thread who isn't completely blinded by their hatred of the guy. I know I just said this yesterday to one of your friends ITT, but I have to say it again: people that are blinded by their hatred for trump like to assign beliefs to ALL trump voters/fans even if deep down they know it only applies to 5-10% of trump voters/fans. By the way, I am not mad that you have accused me of blind support/hatred of a politician and I understand you are doing it because of your blind support/hatred of a politician.

Example:

I support trump in going hard to the paint against china for their trade practices, but I am very much against trump bailing out farmers. In fact I am so against bailing out farmers that I want to end 100% of farm subsidies.

All Trump voters and fans are immutably dumb. Stop blaming everyone else for the characteristics of those who continue to be fooled by a third rate conman. This is not an agree to disagree scenario.

And it is not hatred. It is contempt for those who willingly participate in the destruction of the country due to their ignorance and stupidity. This is not just same old politics as usual.

And the fact that you might have opposed some random trump thing is meaningless as you have defended some of his dumbest and most egregious actions. People were outraged Obama wore a tan suit, put his feet up on the Oval Office desk and saluted while holding a coffee. They went insane. Trump does multiple things every day that are many magnitudes worse. So lol you. If you are not a Trump supporter / defender, stop supporting him and defending him at EVERU turn. It is that simple.

Have to cut wapo some slack here, theyre still mourning the loss of the isis leader

Destruction of the country? This feels a lot different than what I thought the destruction of a country would feel like. Usually you see high inflation, high interest rates, super high unemployment and a spike of crime... it seems like we are seeing a complete opposite of the destruction of the country.

Yep, didn't care about obama saluting w/ coffee, putting his feet on a desk or a tan suit... in fact I never heard about one of them, but I wouldn't have cared. More projecting thoughts onto people you don't know. What are the "dumbest and most egregious actions" that I have defended?

His economic policies have failed though. He ran obama being a failure because:
* unemployment numbers were "fake"
* sub 3% gdp growth was horrible
* stock market was propped up by low interest rates.

Now he's claiming the economy is better than ever citing all those same numbers. His trade wars have not produced a single meaningful win, tax cuts haven't produced much economic or wage growth, the budget and trade deficits are still heading in the wrong direction.

those are still the dem numbers though.. all good trickledown economy bro's know you have to wait like ten years for the real numbers.. and it's just a coincidence that the better economic numbers come when dems get back in control, it's really the trickledown coming home to roost.

He was/is wrong about obama's unemployment numbers being "fake" and by fake he was pointing to the % of the population that left the workforce. Although people leaving the work force should be noted it doesn't mean unemployment #s are fake.

Ssub 3% GDP growth right after a recession is so horrible that it is the slowest growth we've ever seen out of recession in the history of the US.

He was and is wrong that stocks were/are propped up by low interest rates. While interest rates certainly are factor they have always been but earnings growth companies are seeing is real.

Our trade skirrmishes will turn out to be a YUGE success for the US. YUGE success... but not as BIGLY as the tax cuts will turn out to be. We are likely in the early stages of wage growth which will be felt most by the middle class. Slighted is right that the effects of trump's trade skirmishes and tax cuts will be felt for generations.

There is no reason to care about the trade deficit or where it is headed.

thats ****ing hilarious, no matter whos side you're on.

investigative journalism at its finest.

that dam Shapiro won't answer the email, there's no other way to figure out if this was doctored. Someone call Captain Disillusion, he's our only hope!

Saying all people who hate Trump are assigning beliefs to all Trump voters is assigning beliefs to all people who hate Trump. Sound argument, not hypocritical or ironic at all. Nothing to see here folks.

But manufacturing is at an all time low and the largest coal companies are declaring bankruptcy. Not sure the US economy can handle five more years of all this winning.

And lol at Mickey for claiming Trump comes off as a better speaker than what you get from reading his text.

lol at thinking one industry slowing down is some kinda gotcha in regards to the economy growing. Your great great great grandfather was the same way when people stopped farming. He went on and on about how we are all going to starve to death and I think it is cute how now you think we don't make stuff anymore.

You need to keep up with the thread better.

I mean I don't get this. The only reason someone is asking a boring journalism question is because they have to treat it as a serious journalism. If he wasn't working at the Washington Post he'd just call Ben Shapiro the man clown midget that he is and just ignore the Daily Wire, but since it involves the Presidency and the Washington Post is a journalistic institution they have to ask all the boring dot the i and cross the t questions. Otherwise they'd be the Daily Wire.

Ok I would get that they would want to get confirmation on the origins of the photo, but the second part of the question is just ****ing hilarious and idiotic.

The media takes tweets way to seriously, regardless of who they are from. Social media is a cancer on society, it is the trash can of the internet. Media outlets debase themselves by taking it so seriously. They go after low hanging fruit for clicks and views, if you can't see that, well then, I don't know what to tell you.

My MAN!

Sounds like there is an echo in the ol' echo chamber.
