the only time when the president is not in charge is when he's incapacitated, like during surgery.

Trump seems to think the weekends are his time and that President is a M-F 9-5 job.

What is the "Fake News" media except for that part of the free press that is critical of Trump?

And maybe you don't understand how our Republic works, but the President doesn't get to "fight back" against the media using the power and resources of the State. That's why it's called the free press.

Just one example of fake media I have seen a lot of

I mean, uhh, WTF would you expect after Trump declared the Free Press to be the Enemy of the People?

First Amendment right, president trump can fight back with words, just like the press is fighting him with only words. There is no damaging paper work or tapes, we are in the forums going back and forth over nothing.

We don't know that at this point. we we don't know what the FBI or the investigative committees has or doesn't have because very little has been released so far.

it's better to wait than to state flat out there is or isn't anything at this time.

Like all elected officials in the US when acting in their official capacity, the President is not protected by the Bill of Rights. Because if they were, that would mean that the government itself is also so protected, which it is not.

Technically, the President is never "on government time". The salary is based on holding the office. The President can work 24/7 or never and still draw the salary. This came up during the Republican-forced government shutdown a coupe years ago. The Pres and the cabinet appointees continued to get paid throughout the shutdown as there is no Constitutional method of not paying them, short of impeachment.

 

[Jhhnn]

Yes when it is on government time.
He did not say Free Press to be the Enemy of the People. I'm tired of fake quotes. Trump said fake media was the enemy of the people. The media struck at Trump first during the election process he is just fighting back.

The problem with most folks is they don't take the time to find the truth of what trump is doing.

What Trump said-

The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

The problem with Trumpsters is that they believe Trump to be somebody he's not & can never be. Whatever he says or does will be interpreted to mean what they want it to mean. They're mesmerized, held in thrall to the greatest con man of the Age.

When Clinton was on a government salary he was held accountable 24/7 for all his actions and since he was doing government work there is only minimal privacy. I use to work for the government at the rock island arsenal and had a top security clearance.

LOL

We are all accountable for our actions 24/7.

 

[justoh]

Most of us were at least a little critical/skeptical of/about the media before Trump, but now anything against trump receives absolute, unreserved, unquestioning trust. This is the worst thing about his presidency. It almost doesn't seem that funny anymore, him being the president. The president? Of the USA? Trump? Fucking hell. Oh well, at least it's not Hillary.

Believe it or not, except for the fact that Trump has gone out of his way to make the media his enemy, he is being treated by the media no differently than any POTUS before him.

 

[interchange]

Have you not heard of a free press? A major publication's credibility depends on their track record with quality sources and accuracy of reporting. Anonymity is a critical protection for sources of vital information. A free press is another check & balance on the corruption of government.

Separately, I do think as a public we ought to hold our press to a much higher standard than we are receiving.

 

[thraashman]

Yep, exactly. The media isn't treating him worse than previous presidents, he IS WORSE than previous presidents so his horrible shit gets reported more. Nobody president or presidential candidate in history has been as dishonest as him and the press is holding him accountable.

But that's just not fair!

It makes justoh uncomfortable so the big meanies in the media need to knock it off.

When is fake media going to stop the rumors about the president

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh hee hee ha ah ooh hee ha ha And I thought my jokes were bad.

When did the fake news media stop saying the best president of your lifetime was a Kenyan?

 

[Vic]

But that's just not fair!

Witch hunt!

 

[dank69]

So having evidence of something that happened != to not having evidence of something that happened. Is that called a straw man?

No that isn't called a straw man.

However it's interesting that you think it is okay to completely delegitimize and destroy the American democratic process and a legally elected US President when he is a Democrat but not when he is a Republican.

 

[zinfamous]

I don't see any paper work or recording in the news to support any of the recent accusations about president Trump.

when you stop touching yourself at night.

You know Jesus is crying, right?

 

[zinfamous]

That information is a contradiction to trump work policy. In trumps past work and now as president he relies heavily on other people for information.

utter horseshit. Have you even read the accounts of his biographers and the people that have written articles about him? You know, people that actually know him and not an ignorant idiot on the internet that knows nothing about him--eg.: you?

LoL, it is obvious that this "information" you are divulging has come from something that Trump has said. Holy fuck you are useless.

 

[zinfamous]

Once the anti American liberals have completely delegitimized and destroyed the American democratic process and a legally elected US President, they will be happy to stop with the propaganda.

you are such a victim of your own hate. so sad for you.

 

[woolfe9998]

Not really. Trump takes advice on matters of policy because Trump himself is ignorant of policy and relies on others to shape policy for him. That is very different than things involving his emotions and ego, especially where he is being attacked in the press. In those cases, he may act rashly, like when he fired Comey, against advice given to him. I can't be sure that this is what the source meant, but it sounds about right.

I missed this one earlier. Actually, most people are taking the time to find out what Trump is doing, it's his supporters who aren't because his rhetoric tells them what they want to hear.
Most of Trump's supporters aren't paying attention to how Trump's proposed policies would negatively affect a large percentage of the workforce economically. And those who are paying attention seem to be spitefully pleased with it.
For example, my industry has seen a 30% reduction in sales volume since the election. People's incomes are down due to lack of overtime and lower bonuses, and some layoffs and restructuring have already occurred with more expected.
I have numerous friends who work in industries dependent on international trade, and they are all worried for their futures. If either Trump's proposed tariffs, or Congress' proposed border tax, go through, they will probably all lose their jobs.
I have friends who are healthcare professionals, and if the AHCA passes, many of them will lose their jobs.
And if you work in any of the essential government services that Trump is hostile to, like education for example, the prospects aren't much better.
Luckily, (and I say this with all seriousness) the previous administration left us with a very healthy economy, otherwise things would already be much worse. But the cracks are beginning to show..
