Candidate Donald Trump promised that we would get tired of winning. When he said that we could almost hear the mainstream media rolling their eyes.
President Trump hasn’t deviated from his America First agenda. He has pursued it relentlessly. The media hasn’t deviated much from their agenda either. As Trump delivers on his promise to Make America Great Again, they feverishly work to make him look bad. It’s a weird symbiotic relationship.
The more Trump succeeds, the more frustrated they become. It is pathetic to watch. A large portion of the media seems almost eager to sacrifice their credibility and audience in order to undermine this president. They have to know that many times more people are listening to Rush Limbaugh every day than are reading their papers or watching their primetime programming. That fact pushes them into even higher orbit. Brent Bozell pointed out recently that more Americans have pet chickens than watch primetime CNN.
Let that sink in.
Invitations to the best cocktail parties are small solace for the daily drubbing they are taking in readership, ratings and credibility. So, when the two year Russian ruse was laid bare by the Mueller Report, did they offer acts of contrition? Hardly. They did what many prevaricators do when the truth is closing in, they doubled down. Demonstrating once again that they’ve lost the ability to blush.
They ignored the jaw dropping Pew survey which found that more Americans now consider fake news a greater threat than terrorists. Back in the 60s we held news people in high esteem. Today, most reporters are viewed with distrust or disdain. They can blame Donald Trump, but he didn’t create the term “fake news." He simply popularized it. It is the mainstream media that daily foists itself on its own stinky petard.
A generation ago, campaign schools taught that it was suicidal to get into spitting matches with skunks in the media. It was settled dogma that you, “Never argue with a guy who buys his ink by the barrel and his paper by the roll.”
Donald Trump said nuts to that!
He had watched too many Republicans attempt to play nice with news people who had strong partisan agendas and no scruples, Republicans who didn’t realize they were in a knife fight with vicious thugs until it was too late. Trump has demonstrated that we can call them out. He does so with gusto. Many would list that as one of his greatest accomplishments.
Although you wouldn’t know it by most media coverage, this president’s accomplishments are many.
Americans see an economy that is hitting on all cylinders. Real incomes are growing. Every demographic group is benefiting. Oil disruptions in the Middle East have little impact because we are now effectively energy independent. ISIS has been neutered. He is building the wall (with little help from even the Republicans on Capitol Hill). The Mexican government finally understands they need to be part of the solution. Our embassy is now in Jerusalem. He is restocking the federal bench with real constitutional conservatives.
We are seeing progress on taming outrageous Rx drug prices. He has an attorney general who is getting to the bottom of the coup conspiracy. We may soon see some of the high ranking co-conspirators in orange jumpsuits. Wall Street panic attacks not withstanding, the Chinese commissars now understand that they will either play by generally accepted trade rules or they can play with themselves. And Kim Jong Un is reportedly so furious with advisors who argued against a denuclearization agreement that a few were terminated…literally.
This partial list helps explain why Americans feel more confident about their futures. Unfortunately the president’s re-election campaign will need to spend a king’s ransom to remind some voters of all the accomplishments. The media will never give him credit.
Normal Americans are well aware of both the tireless effort and the genuine accomplishments of this president.
We are not tired of winning.
Judging by the shameless war that the mainstream media continues to wage against President Trump, they are not yet tired of losing.
From the looks of them they've been doing that for quite some time.

Only if they are paying attention. All the media, TV shows and social media are not talking anything except Trump is an idiot.

...
Wall Street is more concerned the Federal Reserve than China. The Fake News blames China because that’s how they blame Trump.
Thank goodness President Trump is battling with the Federal Reserve to prevent them from causing another recession.
And thanks for posting a positive Conservative article on FR. I get tired of all the celebrity opinions and liberal propaganda.
Nope. That's one promise he hasn't kept, but I'll give him an "A" for effort.

Meanwhile the border continues to hemorrhage at a higher rate than ever. How are we winning there?
The only things Trump is winning on is the Economy, Israel and the whole Embassy moves/Peace Plan so to speak, and the war on Mass Genocide (or abortion).
On the first two, notice the media & deep state is relatively silent on combating him.
The trade war is something that needed to be addressed but the way it’s moving along, it might set him and us to be the fall people when the markets finally drop like a ton of bricks. Only the die-hard Corporatists are fighting him on it - media is half & half. They know he takes the blame if it fails.
We’re not. Obviously this invasion is a plan to completely overrun the country and create chaos so that martial law can be put into effect. Trump’s gotta just do it. Close the border. To hell with ANYONE running interference. You are a treasonous subversive and the ENEMY if you are against securing our border and ALL points of entry.
We’re not...
Deep State and NWO folks are winning this hands down.
Until Soros (and everybody who works for him - millions of them) is behind bars in solitary confinement, we will continue to lose.
“A large portion of the media seems almost eager to sacrifice their credibility and audience in order to undermine this president.”
More proof that the msm’s business model is NOT based on viewership/ad revenue.
Better. Thanks.
I agree. We are not winning anything significant. None of the coup plotters are in prison. They have not fear and no accountability and they are going to be back soon. Everything that the President is winning on is only very very temporary and will be erased the very day the next commie dem is in office.
The only way to win is to put traitors that are responsible for this in prison. Second is to close the border 100 percent.
I love our President and I know he is trying 24/7 but we are not winning. Some will say "judges, judges, judges" yet can't point to even ONE significant court victory with these judges. Courts are a lost cause.
“Only if they are paying attention. All the media, TV shows and social media are not talking anything except Trump is an idiot. ”
The Trump administration’s neocons - Bolton and Pompeo - are doing a good job of distraction attention from the soaring economy, by pushing war with Iran
Depends on how much YOU are helping Trump. Are you burning the phones of your Congressman and Senators?
How much have you contributed to Trump's reelection?
Are you helping with winning or just bitching?
If you compare trump to any of the Presidents he’s at least working his ass off to accomplish his agendia ..I get so sick of people on this site complaining about even thing that Trump has not got done.I want you people to explain how he can even get one Bill thru Congress the worthless GOP have resisted him at ever turn they are neck deep in the coup attempt I’m sticking with our President he’s not got the power that a Democrat President has eversence his election the Federal courts have done ever thing possibly to stop any legal action hes tryed to take on many issues I guess some of you complainers want be setisfyed to another worthless establishment President finishes us off.....
Very well stated and I agree with all that you posted.
I truly believe we Conservatives have only a tiny slither of time for this reprieve until the gates of hell are unleashed upon us by the evil Commies.
The President is literally stopping and halting a genocidal Civil War from happening. You can see & feel the anger & hatred these MSM/Libs have for us.
I’m not saying the President is not working his butt off. I know he is. All I’m saying is that we have not won anything significant and the gains we have made are more by executive order and other executive actions. These things WILL be erased and totally reversed in a single day by the next commie totalitarian we are destined to end up with as long as these traitors are not held accountable to the law. We will not survive when one side does not have to play by the rules in any way shape or form. The left hates us and they hate America. They don’t won’t to just win elections. They want us dead. If they are held accountable and many of them sent to prison (like they have done to paul manafort) then we may be able to turn things around. Absent accountability to the law we are destined to a brutal conflict with the left.
Tired of winning? I’m disappointed. During the debates, Donald Trump said that if he were president, then Hillary Clinton would be in jail. Still waiting!
