His base base is all he has left.

ETA: The key quote:

ā€œApproaching six months in office, Trumpā€™s overall approval rating has dropped to 36 percent from 42 percent in April. His disapproval rating has risen five points to 58 percent. Overall, 48 percent say they ā€œdisapprove stronglyā€ of Trumpā€™s performance in office, a level never reached by former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and reached only in the second term of George W. Bush in Post-ABC polling.ā€

For once heā€™s right, fake news is distorting democracy.

Greatest source of ā€œfake newsā€??? The White House.

Heā€™s correct. Having won the presidency predominantly using the media to spread lies and manipulate deplorables the Donald is qualified to make this call.

ā€˜Fake Newsā€™

Was wondering, yesterday, if this covers Trumpā€™s weekly (weakly) Saturday address as it showed Trump seated in a White House he hasnā€™t been near since he left for Paris Wednesday?

Jeebus Christ. Who is this Bruce Levell person on MSNBC? ā€œWe shouldnā€™t attack the Presidentā€™s children.ā€

Motherfucker makes it sound like they are toddlers.

Pointing out lies canā€™t really be construed as an ā€œattackā€ā€¦I would argue the lie is the attack.

Canā€™t believe I am typing this, but if it was a Republican in office, I wish John Kasich was our President. Trump is a heartless, soulless man who will stop at nothing to glorify his ego and bank account. Kasich, though I fundamentally disagree with on many points, is a DECENT man and I sincerely believe has his constituents best interests at heart. Strange times we live in.

Correct me if I am wrong.

To be fair, Trump never uses phony unnamed sources, and his friend Jim, who used to go to Paris all the time but stopped because it became a hellhole of Muslim terrorists, as well as his friend who builds plants all over the world, but not in the US because of out of control regulation, will back him up on that.

I think 36-59 was the lowest, back in April, right before he bombed the airfield in Syria. Trump has always bounced off that low; the real beauty will be if he breaks through that floor.

No one is distorting our Democracy as much as you are Trump. Fake News is in your bubble head.

Absurd. Even talking about Don. Jr. as a young country boy unused to the wicked ways of the world is ridiculous. Heā€™s almost 40, he was working for the campaign, come on.

If you subtract the 16 years he was alive before he met his father, Don Jr.'s only 23ā€¦
