I'm sure someone will say that all politicians lie. But in the United States, no president in my lifetime has lied so blatantly and so routinely, shouting people down when confronted instead of addressing the facts. And no president has worked so hard to stoke hostility toward the media, calling them “dishonest,” “scum” and the “enemy of the American people.”
See, taking what he says literally.
He is correct with much of the media coverage as I look at the averages. He creates some of that himself, but much of the mainstream media is blatantly negative. There have been several studies that validate this, one from Harvard.
The media did the same to Bush, but not as extreme. I think there is plenty to report fairly that would be negative, yet much of the media tries to manufacture even more. I watched the press brief about his physical. The media was totally rejecting what the doctor was saying. The same doctor that oversaw President Bush and Obama. They just could not accept facts that did not fit their opinions. You could see it in the questions.
Again, I dislike the personality of President Trump. I am just trying to be fair in my dislike. I suspect if I met him in person, we would get along well. Sanguine people are like that. I am quite surprised he has worked hard to follow through with many of his campaign promises. This tells me he really believes what he was saying, unlike most politicians who only say what they think will get them elected.
One can rack up all the "lies" he says if you take him literally. I do not pay much attention to all that. I listened to his speech in PA yesterday. He made some really good points about the impact in the past year of his administraion's policies. I keep going back to his administration, because there are a lot of people who are doing these things. He has set the direction, but they are doing much of the leg work. He has put some doers in place. They are getting a lot of things done, for good or ill we will have to wait to see.
Lowest minority unemployment ever.
Wages going up for the first time in 8-10 years.
$300 Billion being reinvested just by Apple.
Millions of people being given bonuses because of the tax plan.
Regulation way down.
He is giving back to Congress the things Congress is supposed to be doing. I would think Liberals would love that.
Judges placed, Supreme and federal, with conservative ideology (Interpret the law not make the law).
Look past the emperor with no clothes and see what is really going on. I often think President Trump uses all the noise as smoke screen so some will not see what they are really doing behind all that. They are dismantling a massive, bloated government and giving the power back to the people.
