What If This Was Happening If Donald Trump Was President?
Self

Posted on 07/16/2016 12:05:13 PM PDT by ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton

What would the press be reporting if all this terrorism was happening under Donald Trump?

Is it just me or do you think the press would be connecting the dots more than John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind"?

Of course they’d be all over everything.. Administration bungles Turkey coup response, clueless officials say ‘they didn’t know until moments ago’...

And would scream and yell if Trump dispatched a singer-songwriter to comfort France.

When Donald becomes president, the media will mysteriously rediscover the homeless, the elderly on social security, the millions out of work. All muslim attacks will be blamed on his rhetoric. All black crime will be attributed to him. If the stock market goes down 10 points, they will tie it to him.
The media is in the full time businesss of promoting leftism.

It’d happen once and Trump would tear them a new one.

When unemployment was 4.5% under Bush and the GOP Congress, all the MSM could talk about was how bad things were. After Americans were suckered into voting for a Democrat Congress in 2006, the economy tanked, and guess who the MSM blamed.

Of course, it may have helped if Bush and the GOP would have defended themselves, but they were too busy reaching across the aisle and trying to make nice with the Democrats for that.

Yes, terrorism will always happen in a free state. Fear should not create a police state or overreaction. Terrorism will there in many forms while people are free to live their lives.

Common sense would dictate that extra scrutiny be given to those within the US who do not clean up the environment that breeds terrorism. I do not know of any Christian agency that lobbies the White House to prevent the FBI from inserting covert agents into churches.

Will fix this for you - The GOP was too busy making money for themselves and their friends. The word “bi-partisan” makes them feel better.... kind of like calling a whore an “escort”.

Plenty of bad things will happen in a Trump presidency and the media will be right there with the long knives declaring that he is incompetent. They should be well rested after their 8 year vacation from journalism, skepticism, and telling the truth.

Common sense would also dictate that we don’t pat down granny or vets who go thru the airport. Or pass bills in fear like the Patriot Act will neglecting to deport visas overstays and other fellow travelers.

Oh, it’s going to be bloody AWFUL when Mr. Trump is elected! The Enemy Media will be broiling him alive, 24/7.

It’s going to be fun watching him tell them to STFU every few hours, LOL!

Hopefully he’ll surround himself with a few smart generals and then trust their decisions.

How?

Everyone in D.C. is making huge sums of money - lobbyist, special interest, promised high dollar do little jobs when they leave congress, etc. etc. That is the game and we are being played. How else could people making less than 200k a year (often maintaining two households) become millionaires so fast? Pretty much all of them play the game.

The TEA party - yes - the people who wanted fiscal responsibility in government gave the GOP control of the congress. What have we gotten in return? How many more trillions in debt are our children? How much less are taxes now? Was government spending cut?

There is your answer.... D.C. is pay to play and both parties are guilty. I bet the net worth of just about every congress critter sent there has gone up since the TEA party revolution.

DemRATs will be working very diligently on articles of impeachment for President Trump during the Christmas holiday break.
