    No, I don't see that at all and it's not my ego, it's my brain that tells me that Trump is nothing but smoke and mirrors. I don't think the press is "out to get" Trump. I think Trump is his own worst enemy. He has no clue what he's doing and has surrounded himself with people (some dangerous) that know less then he does (ego).
    I will be shocked if lasts the year.

    Trump is manipulating the press and the American people.

    He's learning on the job but he does have a basic agenda. It's going to be alright.

    Thank you for realizing that I sympathize with secular humanists. They are wonderful people and are steeped in the essence of being a human being. A secular humanist is a person who wants us to recognize a central fact of life. We are born, we live and then we die. That is all there is folks. Make the most of it while you can, do good and treat others well. On that last day, that last moment, that last thought should be one of wonder and joy at being alive, it is a privilege to live. Your life is what you make of it, none of us need anything more than our minds, our families, our friends and our mutual desire to be good to make life worth living. Thank you for recognizing it, I certainly never tell anyone that I am a secular humanist so it must be obvious.

    this is the united states, not just the southern conservative states, EVERY vote counts

    gotta love Trump supporters though, Trump would of won the popular vote too if we only count Conservative majority states?

    There are many people who get great satisfaction out of being SOBs

    In fact I think the central fact of life is that humans are SOBs. They are greedy, ambitious and lustful.

    Secular humanism is too shallow to motivate anyone who is not pretty comfortable already.

    I loved his press conference! It was classic Trump all the way! Loved the way he called out CNN. I have been a CNN watcher for 20 years and up until the primaries and election, never realized how biased and liberal they were. CNN exists on spewing constant negative news about Trump. They had me brainwashed for a while until I started watching FOX. And to your point about the stock market, it's been hitting all time highs ever since Trump won the election! Apparently Wall Street likes his agenda and so does my IRA.

    The notion that Mr. Obama orchestrated this is folly. If he wished to use the intel community--i.e. spies who are skilled in clandestine operations, phone tapping, and any number of black ops to discredit Mr. Trump, don't you think he would have done so years ago when the man with little hands and a smaller brain was doing his birther thing? Back then, you know...the CIA actually worked for him.

    The allegation makes zero sense, there is zero proof and of course, Trump supporters believe every word.

    Yeah like standing up there and saying "there have been no major scandals in my administration", "there have been no islamic terror attacks on us soil during my administration", and something about keeping your doctor.

    Invoking executive privilege to get out of the "fast and furious" scandal was completely above board too.

    I do agree with this. Most media are currently attempting to downplay this because of the implications of the danger of the story. I think they are complicit.

    Most citizens didn't vote at all. And yet, we are where we are. Are you a citizen of Costa Rica?

    Absolutely. The media is completely corrupt, and works in collusion with the Democrats, as was exposed.

    Here's how I see it, not in a Kennedy comparison though. I see Trump is Churchill, Liberals are Chamberlain....and the MSM is Propagandizing Goebbels

    How is reporting the news an attack on Trump?

    Oh that's right, Trump already has all his puppet supporters programmed to believe all bad news on Trump is "fake news."

    Who's crying? I simply pointed out that there's vast potential for populating MSM with more non-partisan leaning voices. The public obviously would support this.

    He was definitely in the right place at the right time to take advantage of the terminally gullible.

    More pathetic deflection (which has become the go-to method of PF's delusional pro-Trump echo chamber).

    Is it even possible for any of you to defend this Orange imbecile without referencing previous administrations?

    I didn't think so.

    Get back to me if you can defend any of Trump's actions (without referencing previous administrations).

    Maybe, at that point, your posts might be worthy of marginal attention.
