Yes – they were the ‘opposition’ before the election and remain so now. You don’t win by kneeling in submission and begging forgiveness; you will then be fed to the dogs (impeached). All we need is for one major media to change its tune, that will start the flow toward truth.

Trump may have made a mistake by firing Gen. Flynn, ass it weakened Trump’s position, especially since Flynn did not
commit a crime.

YES! If Trump doesn’t continually call out the press for what they are, he moves from being on the offense to the defense. He must remain on the offense.

His rally last weekend was brilliant. The more he takes his bully pulpit to the people, the more his base will remain loyal. That is paramount given the near-even split of the popular vote in the election.

Obama went on the attack against Fox for simply telling real news he didn’t want told and didn’t back down, why should Trump not do the same with a far more justified campaign against what is obviously a partisan attack against him using distorted, manufactured, and outright false “news” stories?

So far it’s brilliant. It’s fun as hell watching those whores shit in their pants with faux revulsion.

Is it broke?

At first I thought Trump was fucked, then I realized he is playing the media for the fools they are. They can’t wait for the next morsel, they pounce on it, only to find out about the fake mouse later.

It’s a beautiful thing.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Until the media start telling the truth and maintain some objectivity, Trump should continue to call them out.

I think Trump should ramp up the triggering. Do a rally of deplorables, bring the nuclear suitcase guy up onstage and have the crowd vote by acclamation on whether to nuke San Francisco.

Doesn’t really matter what I or anyone else thinks (I think he should- it’s the best entertainment on tv recently) he can’t help himself. It’s his nature to go nuclear on anyone who questions his ability or judgement. Eventually it will backfire on him “bigly” but until then I’m just enjoying the spectacle.

Funny how the phrase “fake news” that was intended for the “Alt-Right” news sources to discredit them instantly got applied to the MSM instead, isn’t it?

Anonymous, that is truly amazing. It’s biting them in the ass every day, and boy, they are feeling it. And clueless as to what to do about it.

I think he should continue making them look like the clowns they are, HOWEVER he has the option to go nuke their asses by just enforcing the antitrust laws already on the books. Start forcing them to sell off properties, then reign them in further by returning ownership limits on broadcast properties.

I believe the press is making the press look like fools. President Trump is savvy enough to know that a few casual observations bring attention to it and he should just keep on keeping’ on.

I’d dial it back a bit if I were him. He’s made his point, the MAGA crowd knows it and the truth now has legs of its own so dial it back, point out the most egregious examples and move on. Beating a dead horse, even if true/accurate makes him look petty and unpresidential.
