Trump's Last Line of Defense: President's supporters are madder and more dedicated to him than ever
US News & World Report ^ | June 2, 2017 | David Catanese, Senior Politics Writer

Inside Washington, Donald Trump's 4-month-old presidency appears to spin in a perpetual state of crisis and chaos, achieving few tangible successes and beset by weekly distractions.

But in far and wide pockets of the country, where legions of loyal Trump supporters remain, a very different picture is being discerned.

They see a media corps obsessed with a Russia investigation despite no evidence of a crime, all too easily swallowing an excuse for Hillary Clinton's loss.

They see a coterie of prosperous, smug elites stationed in power centers and unable to comprehend the everyday hardships spoken to by this president.

And they see all of them hellbent on taking down Trump, whatever the cost to the country.

U.S. News conducted email interviews with more than a dozen readers who defended Trump in their reactions to previous stories.

These folks are angry, distrustful and sometimes intemperate, reflecting similar characteristics of the commander in chief. Some are true believers who salute all of Trump's actions, no matter how contentious or disputed. Others are clear-eyed about the president's flaws, but are more disturbed by the drumbeat of a contemptuous opposition. Not all of them consider themselves conservatives; some even voted for former President Barack Obama – twice.....

The “power elite” and global criminal fraudsters are fomenting revolution.

They shall earn one.

I believe this is MSM talk defining PATRIOTISM.

Trump is doing what he promised to do. He’s not getting credit where credit is due, and he’s beset with a do-nothing Congress.

As I said before he’s surrounded by assassins. The GOPe might be his worst enemy, especially snakes and worms like Ryan and McConnell

If he really wants to drain the swamp he will support his supporters in the 2018 elections. I hope he supports candidates who support his agenda and oppose incumbents who don’t. We hoi pollioi would love it.

Yes, the college rankings issue. David Lawrence is spinning in his grave. This was once the conservative weekly.

Exactly! APPEARS TO. If the MSM works to provide that impression then indeed it will appear that is how it is. In truth it is not and the American people understand that and understand the hatred that drives the MSM to work everyday to destroy the Trump Presidency.

They are getting ready to 'modernize' the magazine.

And they see all of them hellbent on taking down Trump, whatever the cost to the country.

This a.m. I logged on to Yahoo and found these headlines:

Here Are All The Winners Of Donald Trump’s Paris Agreement Decision
Trump Paris pullout a new hurdle for Tillerson's diplomacy
Trump’s argument for withdrawing from Paris agreement contains multi-trillion dollar math error
By withdrawing from the Paris accord, Trump will make America sicker, poorer and much less secure
Trump’s Paris Decision Won’t Benefit U.S. Coal Miners
Donald Trump's Biggest GOP Critics Are Very, Very, Very Sad
Donald Trump Just Released a RIDICULOUS Product to Start Campaigning For Reelection
The Great Donald Trump Covfefe Conspiracy Dear Leader Donald Trump – ThinkProgress
France Trolls Trump With 'Corrected' Video On Paris Climate Accord

The more I read, the madder I got.

Notice anything? NOT ONE used the respectful title "President". Apparently this is the latest lame attempt by the Fake Media to denigrate the man.

Of course the Kool-Aid drinkers will lap it up and not even be aware of being manipulated by all these media phonies. All they do is demean themselves and what's left of their profession.

"Profession" - as in "The World's Oldest". That's where the epithet "Presstitutes" came from.

The entire opening paragraph is a shameless lie. That’s all the drivel I care to read. It is NOT being REPORTED, even on Fox; but aside from the recent shining Toure de Force trip to the old world; Trump has been erasing numerous Obunga travesties, and signing new legislation. He has achieved more so far, in 4 months, that was constructive and beneficial to the Country, than Obunga did in 8 years.

“How many medical, dental, optical and chiropractic offices are there?”

They don’t sell those copies. They are comped.

We have a retired dentist and a practicing dentist on our street. The retired one has been retired for a decade. He still gets comp copies of Slime, NewsWeak, and this pos mag at his home. A PT rents his office and gets two free copies of every issue which he never orders. He is a Reagan conservative and cancelled/stop paying for these mags when Reagan was president. They are still coming.

The dentist still in practice gets two copies of every mag issue at his office and an extra copy at his home. He has never paid for a single copy. When his kids went to the local community college, they paid like $5/once to get the WSJ and NY Slimes. They are in their 40’s, and free copies of both fish wraps arrive at Dad’s house. The Slimes is now just delivered on Sunday.
