    I dont think anyone is against that. However when all major news outlets are part of a certain party seems kinda one sided. Just my opinion.
    Just because all major news outlets are holding Trump accountable, doesn't mean it's one sided or part of a particular political party.

    Is this new though? I mean I am not a US citizen but even I know that this type of "coverage", biased I would say, has been going on since the US was formed as a nation. I mean look at the post, Hamilton basically created it to call down Adams, they are and always have been a propaganda tool.

    Personally, I think he's the world first president who's a world class Nutkin and is obvious he wakes up in the morning and Tweets the first BrainFart he has, if he doesn't start Nuclear War with N.Korea frankly I'll be amazed (and obviously very pleased too!)

    It was opinion not based off of actual fact finding. From my observation. I didn't see this type of behavior from the media when a liberal was in office. I'm not just talking about our former either. There were obviously questionable things that other candidates have done, but it wasn't scrutinized as much as trump is today or that it seems.

    Anyways, my statement wasn't even suppose to look like a fact. I suppose others look more deeply into it. Couple of examples I could give but I dont think anyone would treat them like liable sources.

    Neither of those individuals are likely to provide anything resembling facts. "Alternative facts", perhaps.

    Like Michelle Obama is actually a man, or superbowl halftime shows are secret Illuminati rituals.

    ...which are literally claims from Alex Jones and Mark Dice. Suspicious

    Regardless of the fact I am not an American, no one deserves respect because of a title or position. You get what you deserve. And Trump is racist, sexist and selfish. He isn't what a President should be as a person, the "leader of the free world" should be at least willing to put aside his personal feelings and do what is best for the country. Regardless of what you say about Clinton, surely she is a better fit...

    Hey ho, sadly he is president, and only he can get himself thrown out of office early. Only time will tell.

    Love him, Hate him, Despise him, or Support him. He *IS* the President of the United States. Say what you will about the man, but respect the office and position. To disrespect that, is disrespecting yourself and your country.
    Trump is disrespecting the American people and our country.

    It was opinion not based off of actual fact finding. From my observation. I didn't see this type of behavior from the media when a liberal was in office.

    That's the problem. People are giving opinions without any reason or facts supporting them. To just give a blind opinion is pointless. Sure, people still have the right to give unsupported statements, but is that constructive?

    No liberal, or conservative, has done anything remotely as insane as Trump has in the original link I posted.

    Why are you giving sources that you're saying aren't credible? I'll just ignore them haha

    I have a feeling you don't really believe what you're saying haha

    Trump is disrespecting the American people and our country.
    For those of us not in America, he is pretty amusing on Twitter. But if he was my leader, I would be embarrassed.

    Also, he disrespects his own office and political party, so, you know, there's that!

    That's the problem. People are giving opinions without any reason or facts supporting them. To just give a blind opinion is pointless. Sure, people still have the right to give unsupported statements, but is that constructive?
    Happens all the time. I see happening here in this very thread. Of course people that voice a opinion other then what was intend are going to get targeted like myself a lot of the times. haha.

    Why are you giving sources that you're saying aren't credible?
    I said you probably wouldnt see them as liable. I didnt even say if I did or not. Tongue Out

    I have a feeling you don't really believe what you're saying
    That's probably so. But like I said in another reply I dont know what to believe since both parties are contradicting each other.

    For those of us not in America, he is pretty amusing on Twitter. But if he was my leader, I would be embarrassed.

    Also, he disrespects his own office and political party, so, you know, there's that!
    I knew since day one of him running in primaries that twitter would be a problem. Many of his staff have told him to stop using it. But just ignores them.

    Surely you can find another democrat to push socialist ideology since Obama already used up his two terms Tongue Out

    ___________________________________________

    For the record I do not like how Trump presents himself. I had a bad feeling about this since day one with him in primaries. This country has fallen back into its worse times. Racism is all time high. Being proud to be american is almost no existence almost as bad as Vietnam war era. Seriously these are things you would think a free world would not have problems with. Right now I'm sick to my stomach with a lot that is going on with his country and around the world. We are at our boiling point. WW3 is around the corner I just can feel it. No where close to Gene's ideology.

    Well, it did take a third war for the World to be united.
    It was actual the arrival of the Vulcans that united the world, in First Contact the wolrd was still split in coalitions.

    Trump is disrespecting the American people and our country.
    That may be your opinion, and I do respect that. Yet I find it a bit subjective based on conjecture. Maybe in a few month, years, I may feel that way with enough tangible evidence. Right now, I still have firm belief in the check and balances of our government system. Labeling, name calling, etc isn't constructive.

    If you want to get to the root cause, it is people *on both sides* have forgotten what it is that they are for. Every American politician is currently "disrespecting" the American citizens. Did I elect my representatives to sit around and criticize while they collect their nice perks (Free Gold-star healthcare for life, travel, etc)? Hell no. I want them to work! I want them to fix things! I want them to do what is needed to get things working again!

    They have forgotten their basic job duty. To represent *us*, the American citizens. In all of the rhetoric, mud-slinging, shaming, and criticism about this policy or that policy... they (99.9% of American politicians) have forgotten about us. The people who elect them into their positions. The struggles we have in our daily lives.

    Public service is *NOT* supposed to be an option to make yourself wealth or richer. It is there to serve... to perform duties/service for ANOTHER... us, the American CITIZEN. Sadly, most politicians believe that the definition of "service" is to perform duties/service for THEMSELVES.

    Americans have issues. I freely admit that. But right now, I firmly believe that the media is doing more to flame the issues to incite for their own agenda (i.e. the powerbrokers behind the scenes) more than being a "watchdog" function. This is my opinion. But as such, I have lost complete faith in anything that is spouted by the media except for morning traffic reports, weather, sports scores/highlights, and local city occurrences.

    For those of us not in America, he is pretty amusing on Twitter. But if he was my leader, I would be embarrassed.

    Also, he disrespects his own office and political party, so, you know, there's that!
    That's the irony. He isn't a politician. He went up against some 16 other Republicans in the primaries can came out on top. Why? People are *TIRED* of career politicians. As the non-politician, he talks big and has a big ego. Typical key elements to get noticed by the population in a big election.

    And as you mention, he was entertaining... on his TV show... with his antics. He hasn't realized that the Oval Office isn't a reality TV show, that it is real life.

    For being embarrassed... I can't (again my own personal opinion) put the entire blame on him. He is a good part, but he shares it almost equally with Congress (again EVERYONE, i.e. BOTH SIDES) and the Media. One man did not cause all of the problems and these problems did NOT start the day he was elected. We've have some serious underlying issues for well over 30 years. They are just really coming to a head... as money and resources are becoming more scarce.

    Every nation has their own particular issues. It's just that at the moment, the United States has its issues under a microscope tied to a megaphone.

    I am still proud to be born a American. As much hate or criticism people spew toward the US, I still believe and enjoy my freedoms and liberty. People forget that those freedoms and liberties didn't come easy. Many have sacrificed and put their lives on the line to ensure we have them.

    Sorry for the rambling.

    P.S. Remember this... when you point your finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you.

    Yeah but he has small hands.

    But seriously, he's a narcissist and only seems to care about himself, he is very unstable as a person. Probably the only thing preventing him from doing something stupid, is the rest of government. When you spout phrases like "Fake news" and "Alternative facts", as well as "Locker room talk", there's no doubt left in my mind that he is not a sane person, he is crazy.

    I am crazy, but no one has elected me to run a country, heaven forbid I ever run a country.

    Would Clinton have been a better choice? Maybe, she would certainly not be as entertaining, it would have pretty much just been the status quo. Well, there was always Gary Johnson, he was entertaining and more grounded than Trump, just not one of the two major parties.
