Not trying to concern troll here. FR is the last place for that, but I noticed even the most loyal Trump supporters in the media have expressed consternation over the past couple of weeks. The Drudge Report has been disappointing as well. It's not that all negative or critical coverage is ever unwarranted, but the poorly choiced-selective coverage is NOT providing the real picture of the full-scope reality of this presidency.
The Scaramucci firing disappointed me as I felt it was caving into the pressures of the very media and establishment that is SO desperate precisely because of their declining relevance! As I've said in prior threads, I don't think his gaffe was beyond the point of recovery, and it was only helpful that it happened early. His personality and skill set would have proven to be strengths in the long run.
I am also weary of Jon Kelly, not as a statesman, but as Chief of Staff. All that being said:
The border wall hasn't even been built and illegal immigration is down tenfold! Simply by the sheer force of Trump's personality and the change in atmosphere his authority has lent to this country. Bloody chaos abated and we are better for it. MEXICO is better for it as their government is FORCED to finally be accountable not just to our sovereignty, but to their OWN people.
Leave it to this liberal-feminist writer, Jennifer Uffalussy on Mic.com to sum up the impact Trump's presidency has had on the abortion landscape in just a few short months!
"There have been 431 restrictions introduced by state legislatures since January alone. Within the first 100 days of his presidency, Donald Trump has expanded the “global gag rule”; undermined the federal Title Family Planning Program by rolling back Obama-era protections and allowing states to bar abortion providers from also serving as Title X providers; ended U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund; pushed for a (now dead) health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood and strips women of access to affordable health care; and nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch, with his record of restricting women’s access to reproductive health care, to the Supreme Court." (will link to article at bottom of the thread.)
The WORLD *respects* us. It doesn't matter whether Trump is "liked" or not. (And he IS liked by millions of the voiceless common people, especially in Europe!) World Leaders: Macron, Merkel --> they know he's the real deal. The rules of the "globalist order" have changed and they're the ones adjusting with Trump, not them, setting the tone. Macron didn't have to pull out all the on hosting the President and Melania as a guests of honor on Bastille Day, but he did!
Trump's appointment to the United Nations, Nikki Haley has singlehandedly shifted the organization's orientation toward Israel.
Russia (where I've lived) and China are parading about their military and weapons in the open streets not because they are strong--but because they are weak. They are trying to assert whatever superficial leverage and brawn they have in a world that is once again at the helm of decisive, moral, American leadership. Their antics won't work like they used to.
And in turn, this inspires the native populations in those prospective countries (China and Russia) to question Putin's and Jinping's false narratives about the impending downfall of America and the triumph of their governments, which they use to justify their own totalitarian holds on power.
I rarely cite the BBC, but Kerry Allen wrote an article about a young Chinese boy's essay that went viral on Chinese social media (remember: Facebook and Youtube are banned there) - on the true state of his country. He has since been censured by the authorities. The boy wrote, "Beijing is a tumour; nobody can control how fast it is growing" and describes how the city has "no human warmth", "belongs to outsiders" and has become a place where many are "pretending to have a life". (article link below)
Our Fake News Media doesn't cover this enough, but the real news coming out of Russia has nothing to do with "collusion" rather the domestic turmoil affecting the country from within. There has been a massive increase in anti-Putin protests in Russia including in the outskirt provinces, and young people can be spotted wearing "Make America Great Again" caps at some of them! Because overseas, the Trump victory is equated with the triumph of freedom in general.
The appearance of chaos, all the resistance from the media, from the establishment, and the overall colorful nature of Trump's ascent to power -- we as his supporters may find it exhausting, but abroad, people find both exciting and challenging...As they have to sit and wonder how it feels to live in places where there is ZERO conflict between the press and their leaders, ZERO entertaining televised debates, because the leaders control ALL THE INFORMATION they consume.
And the crown on top of it all is Trump's Twitter account: the transparency, the honesty, the accountability to ordinary people it represents. The ramifications for the world are huge.
The election of President Trump was not just a victory for America, but for the world. So always keep the BIG PICTURE in mind when the media tempts you to feel bogged down by the latest fabricated hoopla.

"Khodorkovsky: Trump Presidency might not please Putin."
http://www.politico.eu/article/khodorkovsky-trump-presidency-might-not-please-putin/
Every American family where someone has a job that didn’t a year ago knows it too.
The MSM is still running the same game they did during the campaigning... and it STILL isn’t working.
Exactly, they keep losing...Btw, ya don't see too much about, "Trump is a Russian spy" much anymore. What a joke they are.
More winning, please.
JoMa
Who is that?
Weary? Really? He's been there for one day.
Or did you mean "wary"?
And his first name is "John", by the way.
General to you.
You know...the Tucker Carlson types and such. Judge Jeanine the other day was harping about that Trump not having had a “legislative victory” *rolleyes*
2 people?
Yes wary* General John Kelly*
He is an honorable statesman and perfectly suited for a cabinet post, but I don’t know if he really has Trump’s back on a PERSONAL level...and that is needed right now. This has been the problem with Jeff Sessions: an objectively honorable man, but not protecting President Trump at crucial junctures. (Russia recusal.)
And the leaks keep going on!
More... it’s a general trend I notice online. People are letting the lame stream media get to them.
Illegal immigration has not "down tenfold." That is either an absurdity or it is meaningless. It may have slowed to 10% of its level of last year but slowing 10 fold would leave it at a very large negative number. There has been some self repatriation of illegals but that does not reach ten times the number of last year's new wetbacks even if we are to charitably assume the tenfold is a measurement of net new migration.. The English language has rules and words have meanings, regardless of what those under 60 were or weren't taught in public school.
I went to Catholic schools and was taught Christian kinds. Your inhumane tone does not warrant a response regardless of the validity of some of your claims. (Using word “tenfold.”) May God’s peace rest upon you even in your online interaction with strangers.
Then those people are suffering from memory issues and have clearly forgotten the lying collusive SOB's in the media have done everything in their power to undermine and compromise Trump 24/7 for about 2 years and counting now.
I have nothing but contempt for the media.
President Trump is the only person in American government that I actually trust.
His enemies embarrass themselves every time they expose that he is living in their heads rent free.
I love it!
Perhaps a bit of concern trolling here, but I hope that above all, President Trump doesn’t let it get to him and accepts that they will never be on his side.
