Macomb v media: voters who read little news think Trump had a great first week (Press frustrated)
The Manchester Guardian ^ | January 27, 2017 | Ed Pilkington in Macomb County, Michigan

In one short week in the White House, Donald Trump has managed to shatter the tradition of the honeymoon period enjoyed by new presidents. While predecessors eased themselves into the role and were showered with national adulation, he has prompted widespread criticism with a stream of provocations.

Trump has proclaimed war on the media, was accused of serial lying, declared open season on environmentalists and undocumented immigrants, outraged the Mexican president, begun stripping millions of Americans of healthcare coverage, and revived the prospect of torturing terror suspects. The pugnacity of his pronouncements has left even Trump-hardened observers aghast, prompting speculation that such an adrenaline-charged opening to his term couldn’t possibly be sustained.

Tell that to the people of Macomb County in Michigan.

“Thank the Lord for Donald Trump!” exclaimed the waitress in Angelo’s diner when asked how she thought he was doing. “He’s awesome, he’s great,” said the car worker. “I absolutely love him,” the window cleaner said. “I’m 100% for Trump,” the pawn shop owner said....

Trump is a street fighter.

The media has never dealt with his type.

Great. These mother ####ers better be investigated. That should be reported.

I will sleep fine if rioters get shot and killed next time.

In fact, I will sleep BETTER.

I think you’re right.

I guess President Trump has decided to ignore the bad advice of the corrupt Ephors and it’s making them angwy.....

Exactly. The Pinkos who use the so-called “news” media to advance their anti-American narrative are being ignored.

The people do NOT want a “traditional do-NOTHING President”.
What they want is a “Do the RIGHT thing” President
Frankly, such a President is rather long overdue.

I’m going to track down the comment after the event is over, it scrolled right off the screen due to comment volume.

Trump seems like he has declared war on just about everybody this week, but he can’t really roll out his domestic legal agenda until he gets Sessions won through. Then there should be similar artillery on that front and a massive invasion of the district attorneys’ offices.

But then, 20 years later, Ronald Reagan made a racially charged power grab for white voters in the north...

Utter cr*p.

He should be fired but won’t be.

#### Germany. They have been on the wrong side of everything for a century now.

While some other W European countries may see nationalist leaders soon, Germany ALWAYS has to be different because they want POWER.

They don’t learn.

Who would have known Germany would end up being more of a problem than Russia at this point.

Pompous arrogant group of people.

That’s gonna be HARD man. Probably thousands of comments away already.

Not your job to have to go nuts.

I’m sure someone who posts that once will post it elsewhere where it is easy to find and send to FBI.

“In one short week in the White House, Donald Trump has managed to shatter the tradition of the honeymoon period enjoyed by new presidents.”

Excuse me, but the media has been attacking him since long before the inauguration without a pause. The MEDIA are the ones who have dispensed with the “honeymoon”.
