Sucker born every minute...

Well since I have been here quite a while longer than you, I don’t think I am the sucker, and perhaps unlike you, I think it is foolish to not question, research and perhaps even disagree. Forming an independent opinion may require research leaning on reports from all kinds of websites—I remember years ago when Drudge was looked upon like Twitter...Crying “fake news” is a fairly recent phenomena, and it is sloppy research to call “fake news” for any story that contradicts the popular narrative.

OH, and since when is it unpatriotic to question the actions of our leaders? If people had questioned more over the past couple decades, perhaps the country would not be in the mess that it is now.

Questioning does not mean jumping off the Trump Train—I was on the Train long before most Freepers as I sensed he was going to run even before he announced—and I was thrilled as I did not like Cruz due to his H-1B visa stance.

I Trust President Trump, but that does not mean I trust what some of his advisors are telling him. You may recall that for weeks we have heard that the Deep State is against Trump and there are many Obama holdovers in State Dept. etc. So a story about one of his advisors having a somewhat different agenda does not surprise me, and it may turn out to be true. Trump will figure it out, but in the meantime, it is OK to question.

I think it is short-sighted to dismiss everything we don’t like as “fake news” or anyone who questions a sucker.
