Trump and the EC. Help me understand something.

It’s because the right has no other plan or topic that they have any intelligence on, so they just keep shouting the same rhetoric over and over and over again. 

Like or dislike the Left, they passed the ACA. All Trump has done is signed illegal executive orders….

AND talk about how huge his victory was. 

One thing that really bothered me in the news conference, and it bothered me when Obama did it, is the constant comment, “I inherited a mess”.  No one cares, do your damn job and STFU about those that came ahead of you.

How many of those Presidents also lost the popular vote?

Simple. He is very insecure.

I think someone on Reddit made this comment, but I’ve borrowed it:

“He’s a poor man’s idea of a rich man.

A stupid man’s idea of a smart man.

A weak man’s idea of a strong man.”

After listening to the press conference (was that a real press conference or an SNL skit? I seriously can’t tell anymore) I’ve come to accept the reality that the only thing that may keep this country from completely going under are more leaks. It’s quite clear that the president is either completely delusional or is legitametly suffering from a medical problem like dimentia. It’s also quite clear that he is 100% willing and capable of making up his own “facts” and “truths” in a vain attempt to satisfy his own insecurities. At some point that behavior WILL cause a signficant emergency, either home or abroad. It used to be that I look a “leak” from some unnamed insider with a massive grain of salt, these days though the leaks seem to be the only thing keeping the clowns in the White House honest. The POTUS and his staff have nobodies interests in mind except their own and they will do ANYTHING to make sure they put those self interests first, including making up the most ridiculous lies imaginable. 

I honestly have no idea how anyone can support this man anymore, the USA is legitametly becomeing the laughing stock of the world, in the end it is we the people who will suffer. 

Fake facts! Totally biased! Why are you so mean?

I don’t think there is a really good answer to your question, but I guess he brings it up to remind everyone of the supposed mandate he has to keep acting like he has been?

After listening to his ”press conference” (which was really a clinic in petulance and assault on the press) I seriously worry more than ever about the 1st amendment and freedom of the press under this administration. He only called on reporters from the ”lying media” in order to lash out at them, call the work that they do ”fake” and insult with his non-answers. He then even went so far as to tell the group that the questions which weren’t uncomfortable for him were the ”nice” ones. I get that previous presidents have provided evasive answers to difficult questions, and picked on reporters that would throw them softballs, but I’ve never seen anything more brazen and hostile. 

Since he has already taken so many pages out of Putin’s book (all protests against him are ”paid agitators”, fake news, and more) I would seriously not at all be surprised if we moved towards having a state-run media machine like they do (RT) that is the mouthpiece of the regime. Scary stuff. 

I heard a commentator on one of those totally fake news outlets, NPR, who has been following this from the Russian side. She said that the Russian agents involved in tipping off the CIA that the DNC had been hacked have been thrown in jail for treason. That means any investigation into this will hit a wall, because these people will not be available to talk to.
