WASHINGTON — With five days to go until Election Day 2018, President Trump is doing everything he can to keep himself at the center of attention. On Wednesday alone, he:

called for as many as 15,000 U.S. troops to the border – more than the number in Afghanistan (“We’ll go up to anywhere between 10 and 15,000 military personnel on top of border patrol, ICE, and everybody else at the border. Nobody’s coming in”);

took aim at House Speaker Paul Ryan for disagreeing with him on birthright citizenship (“Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about!”);

appeared to knock unnamed political leaders from Pittsburgh for their cool reception to his visit earlier this week (“Yesterday in Pittsburgh I was really impressed with Congressman Keith Rothfus (far more so than any other local political figure)”;

claimed (falsely) that Republicans will “protect people with pre-existing conditions far better than the Dems” — when the Trump administration has signed on to a lawsuit arguing that Obamacare and the provisions in it (including its protections for those with pre-existing conditions) are unconstitutional;

tweeted out a video blaming Democrats for an undocumented immigrant who committed murder;

and tweeted out another video portraying Democrats as the mob – even though the most recent violence or attempted violence came from anti-Semite inflamed by the migrant caravan and a Trump supporter who mailed pipe bombs to prominent Democrats.

In other words, he’s still breathing, and liberals can’t stand it.

And Trump hides under Chuck bed at night.
And Chuck hides under his blanket afraid to go to the bathroom.

[HombreSecreto]

Or that Trump has turned the midterm election dynamic into a presidential election dynamic and the Democrats don’t know how to counter.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The fact that he causes people like F. Chuck to have cranial explosions is one of my favorite things about our President.

[Senator_Blutarski]

The left is squealing, so Trump must be on target.

It is not fair, the Democrats wanted to run against President Trump in the mid terms and what does he do, but show up and campaign. It is just not fair, he is suppose to stay hidden in the White House while we tell lies about him. /s

Did I interpret Todd’s complaint correctly?

PDJT is running a 2-minute drill for the entire game, not just to rack up the points,but to break the other team’s spirit.

The other team hasn’t figured out how to get out of the tunnel without tripping over their shoelaces or how to get up from taking a knee.

“...claimed (falsely) “

---

This observation would carry more weight if it came from a neutral party. When was the last time the media added “falsely” to someone on the left?

But the good news is if they can only point to this one statement as being “false” all others must be true?

-—neutral party.-—

That’s a joke.

There are no neutrals. A domestic neutral is ignorant. A foreign neutral is a liar

[vigilence]

Seems to me that F. Chuck Todd is remiss in acknowledging that it is Obama who is entering the debate at the last minute. Trump’s been holding rally’s for two years around the country.

There are no neutrals. A domestic neutral is ignorant. A foreign neutral is a liar

We all have a bias it comes with being human. However there are some professions where we need to put our bias aside and attempt to be neural. A judge for one but certainly journalist should be neutral. The fact that they are not does not mean it should not be a goal.

At some point in time the news media decided they would not be neutral observers but active participants in molding our nation into their ideals.

But you missed my main point.

If the main stream media really wanted to be a force in our culture other than the propaganda arm for one political party they would become a neutral observer.

Reporting the facts regardless how it bad one side looked bad or the other side looked good.

If Todd was perceived as a fair and neutral observer, his label of “falsely” would carry a lot more weight with a lot more people.

So my basic point is that the news media become less effective in changing people’s views once every one knows their reports on President Trump boil down to ORANGE MAN BAD, DEMOCRATS GOOD.

“...and a Trump supporter who mailed pipe bombs to prominent Democrats.”

Has it been established that the objects sent, were in fact, bombs? I haven’t seen or heard anything about what they really were.

Chuck Todd - UNBIASED Journalist that worked for far leftist TOM HARKIN.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Hard to believe a guy that looks like a fuzzy suppository spews this much crap.
