They said all the new jobs being produced were “hamburger flipper jobs,”

Of course during the O’Bunghole economy when McDonalds hired 50,000 “burger flippers”, the entire press went just about orgasmic like an unmanned fire hose proclaiming the economic miracle to the heavens.

It has become an article of faith among Republicans and some pundits: If only President Trump would stop with the racism and cruelty (as with family separations), the authoritarian assaults on the press and on the Mueller probe, and the panting embraces of Vladimir Putin, Republicans could bask in the glorious “Trump economy” and stave off big losses this fall.

Only five blatant lies in the first paragraph alone is not too bad for a piece from the notoriously dishonest Washington Post I suppose.

1. It’s not an article of faith amongst any Republicans that I know.
2. Trump is neither cruel nor racist. The exact opposite. Trump is treating these feckless illegal “children” from Guatemala better than Obama ever did.
3. Trump’s attacks are counter punches to the media attacking Trump with lies and fabrications 24/7. It has nothing to do with authoritarianism.
4. It is the Mueller probe that is corrupt and partisan and determined to bring Trump down. Trump has every right to hit them hard whenever he can. If anyone is authoritarian, it’s “Heinrich” Mueller.
5. Trump has been far tougher on Russia than any other president in recent times, especially Obama.

> "I think Mr. Reagan "got lucky" in a way because of the assassination attempt against him in March of 1981, just two months after he was inaugurated."

> "His behavior and performance during that crisis was so good, so cool, so well-calibrated, that it softened many hearts."

Here are some of President Reagan's humorous quotes after arriving in the hospital after being shot:

> To surgeons, as he entered the operating room: “Please tell me you’re Republicans.”

> In a written note, upon coming out of anesthesia in the recovery room (paraphrasing Comedian W.C. Fields): “All in all, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”

> In another note, recalling a Winston Churchill observation: “There’s no more exhilarating feeling than being shot at without result.”

> In a third note: “Send me to L.A., where I can see the air I’m breathing.”

> In yet another note written while surrounded by medical staff: “If I had this much attention in Hollywood, I’d have stayed there.”

> Complimented by a doctor for being a good patient: “I have to be. My father-in-law is a doctor.”

> To an attentive nurse: “Does Nancy know about us?”

> To a nurse who told him to “keep up the good work” of his recovery: “You mean this may happen several more times?”

> To Daughter Maureen: The attempted assassination “ruined one of my best suits.”

> Greeting White House aides the morning after surgery: “Hi, fellas. I knew it would be too much to hope that we could skip a staff meeting.”

> When told by Aide Lyn Nofziger that the Government was running normally: “What makes you think I’d be happy about that?”

All well and good, but since most People watch the Mainstream DNC Media, they hear none of it.

The only way this News gets out is through Conservative Pundits, Conservative Websites and POTUS Trump’s Rally’s and Tweets.

Sorry Dem's, as Bill Clinton and his James Carville advisor said, its the economy stupid.

Trump will not “play nice” and he will not behave the way that either the deep state, the Democrats or the old school Republicans want him to play! Which is why he was elected and will be re-elected.
