Trump vs reporter LMAO (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure words, for Trump, are used to convey meaning as much as to give other people the impression that he knows what he's talking about.

It seems clear that he places more value on the fact that he's speaking, than on what he is actually saying.

 
Pretty sure that one day I'm going to wake up and realize this was all a dream. A figment of my imagination.

There's just no other explanation.

Of all presidents he would most benefit from everyone having their tvs on mute.

Don't be afraid of the flying monkeys. When you see them you'll know the dream is almost over.

 
Lordy, lordy - it's to the point where i'd enjoy a media walkout/boycott (there's no news to lose, folks, - he puts 95% of his "content" out on Twitter. it would just be FoxFolk in full pucker) more than defeat or indictment.

 
Anyone have any idea what he's talking about when he says we lose billions of dollars every week to illegal immigration?

Trump's original number Trump used in  August 2016 ($113 billion)  came from FAIR.

He has since inflated their numbers to $250 billion and then down to $200 billion.

So by saying "billions of dollars every week" he can't really be fact-checked.

As usual with most of Trump's numbers, they are soft, brown, and steamy.

ETA this link to the FAIR report. It;s not original 2013, but update 2017

I’m not asking about the dollar amount as much as the basic idea that illegal immigration costs us money. I don’t get it

It’s similar to the “M4A will cost $32T” headlines while leaving out the cost of our existing healthcare system. 

Those costs for illegal immigration don’t factor in the benefits they provide to society.

I am with you...I know it is the minority but I am just amazed at some of the people I know that have hitched their wagon to this train wreck.

What is his approval rating? 40-42%? Maybe upper 30's?

He's only going to get re-elected if the Democrats just avoid being crazy (which is not going well).

His approval rating jumped about 7 points to 44%. I live in a very very Red county and folks here just love him....occasionally they will say he says the dumbest things sometimes but I like what he is doing. I wonder what part they like about what he is doing....getting Mexico to pay for a big beautiful wall, replacing Obamacare with something much better or reducing the National debt to zero in 8 years?(it's actually increased 2.2 trillion under his watch)

Actually I know what they like about him. It is getting 2 conservative supreme court justices appointed and deregulation.

He doesn't just dislike being challenged, but when someone like this actually starts revealing actual facts, he gets frantic and in emergency mode. He just starts screaming for them to shut up and sit down.  He has gone through his entire life having the first last and only word on things. If you challenge him, you are out. Plain and simple. So no one ever dared to challenge him. Now when he lies, he thinks he can stifle anyone who challenges him with the truth. At that moment, he wants them dead. Lol. just watch it again and notice the look of panic on his face when he realizes someone is throwing facts that him. And calling him out for his lies. He probably doesn't understand why they are not being removed from the building.

I’m with you except I’m no longer amazed by it. That went out the window sometime in early 2017. Our public school system should be ashamed of itself.

 
You guys know that after a Trump supporter sees that same video, he/she fist pumps and says "Trump got em again!" They are just gonna see whatever they want to see.

It's not the public schools (at least in my area), it's the students and parents of students.  Public schools aren't day care, you don't just drop your kids off and poof they become smart.  Parents have responsibilities to work with their children and support the teachers, this isn't happening now.  Informal numbers of my facebook friends that are obvious trump supporters (always posting memes and trump "facts"), 90% are people I wouldn't call exceptional students.  They are also the ones that continually rail against public schools and how they are trying to indoctrine students to the socialism way of life.

Too busy complaining about how mean everyone is to them and that they don't understand why their silence on the actions of Trump and this admin are being ridiculed.  They are also working on new versions of any/all stories that come out to make sure the Democrats are no different to them in their minds.  What I can't figure out is how they justify the hate if they create versions of Democrats that behave just like them.  Seems like they'd like that, but alas, that doesn't seem to be the case.  Still working on that one.

Also worrying more about AOC and the media reaction to a fake attack then Trump/Rush wanting to jail investigators and another shooter who wasn’t caught by our current system of background checks.
