His supporters saw something else: A champion of Middle America who is taking on the establishment and making good on his campaign promises to put the country first. […]

Richelle Kirk of Logan, West Virginia, watched some of Trump’s news conference on Thursday and didn’t see any head-scratching comments from the president. “I back him 100 percent,” said the 42-year-old stay-at-home mom. “You either love it or get out, is my opinion.”

The fake media is part of the swamp. They promote the swamp, they cover for the swamp. They are the swamp.

I cannot spare this man, he fights!

When ALL the traditional news media are against you 24/7, for months and months on end and you speak out against it, you're thin skinned.

The AP needs to wake up. It isn’t just coal miners wives and rednecks who love this man.

You fake news hacks ripped Dubya for six straight years and he never fought back. Then you went right straight years NEVER challenging Valerie Jarrett’s sock puppet.

Now there is a man who won’t take your crap and has been in the media spotlight lo longer than most of you have been working. And you cannot handle that fact.

Combative? No, the media are the 'combative' ones. Trump b!tch-slapped the pressitutes, and simply owned their sorry asses! This is what leaders do, so get used to it. HA!

Trump is the greatest American since George Washington. His approval rating rocketed well over 61% today. He nmade a mistake on FLYNN but the mistake was weakness. Today he annihilated weakness1!

The traditional news outlets have been, for a few decades now, nothing more than the propaganda arm of the democrat socialists. Trump just told it like it is, without any candy coating.
