It means he’s working. Unlike the previous parasite.

Well, maybe but in may ways Trump reminds me of Harry Truman. Truman didn't want to be President really, he didn't even want to be VP but FDR forced it on him and then died, leaving him stuck. Then Truman's wife decided she hated being first lady and wouldn't live in DC. He went from being a guy who loved hanging out with Senators, going to parties, etc to a guy alone in the White House. He dealt with it by hosting friends for poker nights in the White House, heading to the Carribean I think for frequent summer stays, etc.

Trump is surely living a wildly different life now than he did as a billionaire New York celebrity. He's a sociable guy and all of his contacts with people have to be vetted and passed through layers of protocol, it must be a bummer for a guy who liked to pop out at random for a meal on the town. Anyway he'll have to find is own ways of bringing the town to him, be it parties for friends in the White House or whatever. I'm confident he'll find an answer that will work for him.

Yes, the fake news “reporters” always lie about what Trump actually says (they do the same thing to Spicer too sometimes). They seem to be too stupid to realize that when people watch a speech, announcement, or interview and then see “reporters” making up things about and intensely spinnng the speech afterwards, that hurts their own credibility not Trump’s; yet, I’ve seen them do that repeatedly for almost two years now.

These presstitutes are the most dishonest group of people in the nation and among the most dangerous and destructive. Anyone who trusts their reports without personally researching them is a lazy fool (unfortunately, there are millions of gullible, easily-led, lazy fools in the US…).

***to replace Mike Flynn, the president’s former national security adviser who was ousted over his connections to Russia.***

Posting this fake news garbage on here is still helping the biggest enemy of the State.

I don’t understand why people on FR want to help them by reading and posting their garbage.

Naw, I wouldn’t call it fake news. Just more like someone trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Really, every “new” President experiences this along with his entire family. This is partly why I do admire Melania staying in NY for their son to finish out the school year. It takes a lot of pressure off of the child and likely the family. It isn’t like Trump didn’t travel for his business after all.

I recall Michele Obama having issues with the security, the Bush girls dumped their details how often, it is documented that both Hillary and Bill ditches their secret service detail on multiple occasions. And while we all complained about 0bama always being on the golf course, there is this too: “President Obama has a history of pointing out the restrictive lifestyle behind the tight security of the Secret Service, frequently explaining how much he misses his personal freedom.
“Shortly after I had been elected — Bill can relate to this — the Secret Service bubble shrinks and it starts really clamping down,” Obama said during a 2012 fundraiser in New York City with former President Bill Clinton.http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/10/03/obama-s-history-of-frustration-with-the-secret-service/

All of this adds up to recognizing there is a lot going on in the White House and CLEARLY Trump isn’t the first to have issues with the ever tightening ring of security. I would add that the security detail is likely tighter for the new President than any other President in history given the turmoil in the streets from the left, the moles inside, and the refusal of the executive branches to comply with the Presidential directives.

True there is that element of living in a fishbowl, but I think this article part of the globalist media plan to paint this picture of chaos and meltdowns in the Trump WH, with headaches and all sorts of misery.

Trump knew what he was in for. He’s a restless type guy, but I think he can handle it.

How much longer must we endure this assault on our Republic under the thin and badly misplaced guise of "freedom of the press?" It isn't meant to guarantee "freedom of the press to lie and slander," nor should it.
Libel is a legitimate recourse, with truth as an absolute defense.

The fundamental flaw in the “freedom of the press” argument is the planted axiom that nobody but the Associated Press and its membership is a member of “the press.”

The truth is that freedom of “the press” is the right of the people to spend their own money at their own discretion to promote their own opinions.

Amendment 1:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
does not establish a ceiling over the rights of the people. Rather, as
Amendment 9:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
makes plain, it is to be understood only as a floor under our rights.

The principle is clear: if anyone has a right to print, you do. If anyone has the right to broadcast a political commercial, you do. If anyone has the right to operate a web site, you do.

Thanks Paul, and I agree with your thoughts there.

Not buying it.

Trump is basically a homebody (well, officebody). And he gets out to the golf course as much as ever.

If he ever did get cabin fever, he could always buzz over to Camp David.

Yahoo is a Leftist Website that is incapable of rational writing. Has there ever been a positive piece on any Republican/Conservative since 1995, when they Internet became available for everybody? The answer is absolutely no, because I keep checking regularly.

Would it be a terrible thing to turn it into a National Historic Register House and Museum for the public to tour?

That sounds reasonable to me, but I don't know the arguments against doing it.

In general I think it is a good idea to get government out of D.C. That will certainly happen after the first terrorist nuke explodes anywhere in the world, so might as well start now.

In general, I think it's a good idea to get the gov our of DC

With all the intrigue and pretty strong evidence that there's a shadow gov, it would make a lot of sense to have the Supreme Court, the HOR/Senate and the Executive in three different locations. Might help with the separation of powers.

I know, it is also the largest online news site. Indoctrinates the millennials daily.
