Macomb v media: voters who read little news think Trump had a great first week (Press frustrated)

In one short week in the White House, Donald Trump has managed to shatter the tradition of the honeymoon period enjoyed by new presidents. While predecessors eased themselves into the role and were showered with national adulation, he has prompted widespread criticism with a stream of provocations.

Trump has proclaimed war on the media, was accused of serial lying, declared open season on environmentalists and undocumented immigrants, outraged the Mexican president, begun stripping millions of Americans of healthcare coverage, and revived the prospect of torturing terror suspects. The pugnacity of his pronouncements has left even Trump-hardened observers aghast, prompting speculation that such an adrenaline-charged opening to his term couldn’t possibly be sustained.

Tell that to the people of Macomb County in Michigan.

“Thank the Lord for Donald Trump!” exclaimed the waitress in Angelo’s diner when asked how she thought he was doing. “He’s awesome, he’s great,” said the car worker. “I absolutely love him,” the window cleaner said. “I’m 100% for Trump,” the pawn shop owner said....

Hahaha!

I just overheard some people talking about Trump. One said “He’s the first Republican I’ve ever seen actually do what he said”. The second person replied, “That ain’t because he’s a Republican, it’s because he’s not a politician. He’s a businessman, and what do businessmen do? They do what they say or they won’t be in business long”.

Pretty much says it all!

[Col Frank Slade]

The voters are reading the news, just not the MSM FAKE NEWS.

The level of insane delusion among the media astounds.

WINNING

[jettester]

And they are shocked that he is keeping his word?

[dp0622]

How soon before CNN, Huff etc. start inciting calls to violence?

I’m not joking.

They’re insane and going off the deep edge.

### em.

[Mr. K]

I just keep posting on FB that Trump is not part of the same corruptocracy of democrats AND republicans that have been running us into $20 Trillion in debt.

[dirtboy]

I think the MSM must distribute a wheel to spin so biased reporters can decide which subject to use on a given day. I see “Trump supporters are ignorant” came up today.

[RegulatorCountry]

Such keepers of tradition our press have suddenly become.

[dowcaet]

The mindset of these people is baffling. They want a traditional do nothing president. We don’t have time for that. Our nation is carrying an enormous financial debt, almost a hundred million of our fellow Americans aren’t working, and we’re being pushed around internationally and we have no borders to speak of. We needed a president to hit the ground running and start reclaiming our greatness as a nation that has eluded us for too long.

[dirtboy]

I was watching the March for Life feed from Fox via Facebook and someone posted ‘sniper target’ while Pence was speaking.

[jmaroneps37]

Smug scumbags in the media really don’t understand we don’t care what they think. GFY media.

[grania]

I'd say that President Trump did have a great week. He showed that he will not back down to lib crazies and the media. I read somewhere press briefings have gone viral. The maniacs on the left have alienated most people who weren't already part of their hard core. He's beginning to drain the swamp and he's not slowing down to those fake conservatives who think stalling things will stop the movement they pretend to support.

Has it been perfect? Of course not. It's unchartered territory.

“The pugnacity of his pronouncements has left even Trump-hardened observers aghast, “

Oh, my word, that made me smile and Laugh Out Loud!

[Col Frank Slade]

I think some already have.

Trump has proclaimed war on the media, was accused of serial lying, declared open season on environmentalists and undocumented immigrants, outraged the Mexican president, begun stripping millions of Americans of healthcare coverage, and revived the prospect of torturing terror suspects.

This is a severe case of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

[Daniel Ramsey]

Trump is new blood. Washington has become so inbred surgeons are working overtime cutting off the extra toes and fingers from the political inbreeding going on for so long.

Reminds me of Hemingsways cats, polydactyl.

Because 75-80% of the country just want them to STFU, GTFO, and get some law and order up in here yo.

[righttackle44]

What does The Guardian . . . guard? Doesn't seem to be truth and intregrity.

[jospehm20]

I read a lot of real news and I think Trump had a great first week.
