The Trump Presidency

Melania Trump orders tree removal is maybe the oddest article headline of the year. Not the tree removal part, which seems perfectly normal and has been coming on for years, but the fact that the story makes it about her. Is she being used as a possible scapegoat to protect Trump from any more perceived negativity? OMG! He's now cutting down all the trees! lol

MSM goes for the LIV like Democrats. Go figure.

8/ Trump has so often lauded Flynn's integrity, and so often trusted him

with sensitive information, and so often promoted him into positions of

power, that the defense "He's the biggest liar anyone's ever seen!"

—and before you even know what he's told Mueller!—is a suicide pact.

“We appointed a deranged liar to serve as National Security Advisor” is certainly an argument that one can offer.
 
what could possibly go wrong with this ?

Israel thanks Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as its capital by naming train station after him

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that maybe the DOJ has always had this issue, given that the entire goddamn world has had that problem for years. There's a reason that the #metoo movement leaders won Person of the Year.

Not disagreeing. Still doesn't diminish the overarching point.

News stories about President Trump’s first 60 days in office offered far more negative assessments than they did of prior administrations. About six-in-ten stories on Trump’s early days in office had a negative assessment, about three times more than in early coverage for Obama and roughly twice that of Bush and Clinton. Coverage of Trump’s early time in office moved further away from a focus on the policy agenda and more toward character and leadership.

Let's continue to pretend there isn't something going on here. Some other interesting things like the number of single households. Need to find a way to encourage more family life in this country. FMLA and less entitlements that facilitate homes without 'earners'.
 
I'm guessing Caligula got different press coverage than Marcus Aurelius. Wouldn't consider that an indictment of the press.

Trump should get more negative press coverage. I get that he is controversial. Its a collective effort but that doesn't diminish the fact that our press is highly politicized and its impacting their performance. The latter part is the most concerning.
 
for someone that only hires the best

he has the highest turnover rate for a president

Trump administration turnover rate is 34% at senior ranks.

Trump White House smashes record for number of first-year staff departures -- biggest in past 40 years. Turnover rate is three times higher than both Barack Obama’s 9% and Bill Clinton’s 11%

also:

"has signed the fewest bills into law of any first-year president. And he has the lowest approval rating of any modern president at the end of his first year in office."

You act like criticism of the FBI is relegated to far right conspiracy nuts. Its becoming more accepted by centrists. Its very clear what is happening. I get that you detest Trump and for a lot of it there is good reason based on your philisophical beliefs. I want to be more accepting of that. Everyone is entitled to their world view. However, EVERYONE should be concerned with how senior leadership of the FBI has handled themself the last 3 years. At some point that may flip to hurt 'your side' and you won't like it then.
 
i don't have a side

but i will continue to laugh at thinking the FBI was on the final step of a police coup in this country

cause some people that didn't like the garbage that is in the white house now said so in a text.

but hey, we are going after the real problems in this country. the piece of **** is upset about vanity fair this morning

I said the same thing to a coworker yesterday. The headline was so misleading as to the content of the story itself. I guess they got what they wanted in that I clicked on the article but it certainly was misleading.
