When the media … reveals internal deliberations of our government…

In an open society and democracy, this wouldn’t be a credible criticism, even if Donnie hadn’t pushed for and supported the revelation of the secret details of ongoing criminal and counter-intelligence investigations.
At some point, I’d think he and his supporters words could largely be indexed as ‘hypocrisy (double standard)’ and we could be saved from having to spend the energy reacting to another affront to our sense and dignity.
Their departure can’t come too soon.

No, some of them can and will be different after this. Whether or not it’s for the better remains to be seen. But Trump is beyond that, for sure.

We knew it when he ran for President, and it has only been painfully proven to others.

Manafort trial kicks off Tuesday. Cohen said tRump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians last week. Perdue went off the reservation on the trade war’s effect on farmers. The steel and aluminum consumers
are going ballistic on the US steel producers in an argument over whether the steel producers can ramp up their production of the right types of steel - could get noisy and bust out a bunch of legal challenges.

What with tRump’s need for a lot of “executive time” he’s probably getting preemptively cranky to pace himself for next week.

Off -his-ROCKER!

Hah! Maybe 1%!!!

Yes, the media are very “unpatriotic” for doing their job and reporting the news. This man is truly insane; let’s get him out of the White House before he pushes the nuclear button.

Our so-called president is “proud” of his efforts to spread the term and the idea of “fake news” I trust that he is equally proud of his role in destroying the fabric of truth and reality, essential to the survival of a free democratic republic, in America. This campaign of Trump’s against a free press is an existential threat to American freedom and democracy. Everyday, Trumps statements and behavior give the lie to the oath he took on his inauguration. This clearly falls into the category of “high crimes and misdemeanors” and well deserves to be treated as such. The future of our great nation, and perhaps the world is at stake with this madman at the helm. He needs to be removed from office before the damage he is doing become irreversible…

Trump says, "Had a very good and interesting meeting at the White House with A.G.
Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times. Spent much time talking
about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how
that Fake News has morphed into phrase, “Enemy of the People.” Sad!

Trump has it wrong.

No I do not think Pence would be any kind of improvement over trump but it is what we’re left with until the term runs out. It’s obvious to me that trump is a clear and present danger to our continued existence as “America” in any kind of form that I could recognize or give my allegiance to as I have done in the past. trump is destroying what I value of our beliefs and traditions.
