President Barack Obama on Friday strongly denounced the dark and dire terms in which Donald Trump and the Republican Party described the condition of the United States after nearly eight years of his presidency.

While remarking that he did not watch the convention, the president commented on reading "some of what was said and the one thing that I think is important to recognize is this idea that America is somehow on the verge of collapse, this vision of violence and chaos everywhere, doesn't really jibe with the experience of most people."

"the rate of legal migration into the U.S. is currently "lower by two-thirds than it was when Ronald Reagan was president.""

Obama and the media deliberately Confuse legal immigration with the need to secure the border and prevent the uncontrolled invasion of illegals.

Notice how the media all are now using the phrase "dark" to describe anything truthful.

Trump is merely speaking the truth.

The media is very worried about him, and is going overboard trying to get control of things.

Good job Trump.

You know your legacy is in trouble when you need to go out and say America is not on the verge of collapse.

Trump gave an excellent speech. It was one of the best I have heard from a politician.

Obama does not recognize the problems.

The DNC will be all about gun violence, racism, and bigotry.
And the media will portray that message as uplifting.

But, when the little puke is talking about gun control, he completely changes his tune.

If you only watch CNS, read the NY Times and listen to NPR and never leave you house or are in Washington or NYC you believe this. To everyone else you know this is narrative is a completely removed from reality.

Exactly. They will say America sucks and blame Trump and Republicans when Dear Leader has been running the show for the last 8 years.
