One year on from his election ( some people called it a shock, the real shock was Clinton being nominated ) here's hilarious meltdown video.

Somehow reading about the big, real big reception our Trump got in China I got to think about the Emperor's new cloths. Probably just my weird sense of humour Like most neutrals, there are things that Trump does that make me wince. However - He is easily the best media president of all time. He trolls the furk out of the msm, and they fall for it every time. And the more they manipulate the news, the worse it becomes for them. Here's a prime example of selective news questioning -

^^| Interesting the 'good' qualities of Trump you list. Now remind me, is this chap the President of the United States of America or is he a fake, a comedian in disguise? BTW you know why TRump didn't take questions from the press while in China? Obviously because "we'll tell you what to write"

AS I said, the Emperor was real royal and all agree. So who needs pesky reporters asking questions? Mind you, the Chinese press seems to think this was about "China First" instead of "America First" BTW maybe Putin will get angry as Xi now gets all the compliments for making Trump what he is today "Terrific. Tremendous. An extraordinary few days. Such was Donald Trump’s characterisation of his pomp-filled sojourn in Beijing. Chinese newspapers and academics seconded those emotions on Friday morning, as the US president jetted off on the next leg of his Asian tour. “China should be happy,” said Chen Daoyin, a Shanghai-based political scientist, calling the trip a diplomatic triumph for President Xi Jinping. “The leader of the world’s number one power has just made a pilgrimage to him - this is naturally how all Chinese people will see it.” “Trump has pleasantly surprised many who a year ago were deeply worried about a trade war given his harsh campaign rhetoric,” Chen Weihua, the deputy editor of the China Daily’s US edition, wrote in his appraisal of the billionaire’s “state visit-plus”. “Trump has also surprised many for his relatively good handling of US-China relations, including forging a close working and personal relationship with President Xi Jinping.” ... “Trump behaved moderately [and] respectfully ... He showed respect to China’s leader and China’s culture ... Xi has made Trump a better president.” ..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/10/chinese-media-hails-success-of-trumps-pilgrimage-to-beijing

They're not, and never have been. As far as I'm concerned, the media has too much access to The White House. The daily press briefing often degenerates into a childish shambles.

He has a White House press office that deal with the press on a daily basis. As far as I'm concerned, they give too much access to the press.

The White House press office has been telling lies, real big lies and retracted others after Trump changed his mind. So, rather than being lies to by ignorant White House staff we'd be lied to by Trump. Democratically so

Maybe some from the Gaels in Ireland, a few drops of Viking blood and the odd Roman who ventured across the Wall Anyway, as all us real believers know, God made us in His image, so don't blame Trump

In Praise of Trump, I have to admit at times he says things he might regret the very moment of saying them "In July 2016, Trump called Ginsberg to personally decry the coverage. By the end of the month his campaign’s boycott of CNN had begun. When the AT&T-Time Warner merger was announced towards the end of the campaign, Trump said he would not approve it. “AT&T is buying Time Warner, and thus CNN, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it’s too much concentration of power in the hands of too few,” he said." www.yahoo.com/news/kushner-cnn-staff-fired-over-110004619.html
