Yeah, just more BS from the lying press. Nobody is paying much attention to them anymore anyway though.

Apparently, Steve Holland does not like the President’s “tone”.

This isn’t news, it’s a fictional soap-opera they make up as they go along.

“Close to the White House” can mean .... lives in Georgetown and walks by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave once in a while. No source = made up story.

What a load of crap.

He’s got more empathy in his little finger for the average American than the whole rest of the dem and most of the republican parties combined.

Well, I think he is showing too much empathy, especially for a city that hates him. We are not all NY or CA or WA.

President Trump is struggling to avoid strangling idiotic questioners. He comes across very empathetic to the people of the country. To the media and the dems? Not so much.

I would agree with this a little bit. I don’t think it is a huge deal because Trump, at least to me looks tired and I think that is the core of the issue. Tired people don’t have energy to waste on empathy.

Here is the true question: Which would you rather have someone who shows lots of empathy and does the wrong thing or someone without much empathy doing the right thing?

I would take the latter over the former every time.

These people are pathetic. So, they’ve come full circle and they’re back to the “tone” meme again.
