While media bias is obvious to those on the right, those on the left dwell in a sea of misinformation and exaggeration related to the activities of the President. Trump did not start a war in the Middle East with Iran. The Chicken Little "reporters" and "journalists" on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC, and the usual suspects in the newspaper business squealed on and on about the imminent possibility.
Venting Their Spleens
Trump did not start World War III with North Korea, although pundit after pundit on television, and innumerable journalists, at what used to be prestigious newspapers such as The Washington Post and The New York Times, vented their spleens to convince you that war was right around the corner.
Now widely known, except among tinfoil hat leftists, Donald Trump didn’t collude with Russia to get elected, or for anything else. Robert Mueller and his Democratic operatives, eager to bring down Trump by any means possible, spent multi-millions of dollars seeking anything that would make their case. Although after a couple of months they knew they had nothing, they persisted for another two years, blatantly intimidating and harassing Trump appointees, sometimes for hours on end, over many weeks and months, specifically to inflict damage on Trump and his administration.
Donald Trump did not cause a recession. The so-called mainstream media tried to propagate this month’s back. Phony prognosticators claimed that the U.S. may be, could be, possibly might be...dipping into recession. Newspapers ran with this shred of a feature repeatedly. The usual gang of talk show hosts babbled on about the topic.
No Litmus Test
Donald Trump has not appointed judges who have to pass ideological, abortion litmus tests, as all recent Democrat presidents have done. Trump's major criterion, and it's the best that our nation has known, is that the individuals selected interpret the U.S. Constitution as written: nothing more, nothing less. His 47-month record has shown conclusively that his appointees, who've been approved by legislative bodies, have done just that.
Donald Trump has not exhibited anti-Semitism. The charge is ridiculous on its face. His daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism to marry his son-in-law Jared. His three grandchildren from his daughter are all Jewish. He has been more supportive of Israel than any other president in the last 50 years. Donald Trump has many close Jewish friends, who've known him for decades. If he makes remarks here and there about the shrewdness of Jewish businessmen, it is not anti-Semitism. Sorry folks, the label simply won't stick.
Trump did not praise white nationalists and supremacists during the controversy in Charlottesville, Virginia. He condemned them. Your mainstream media and fake news websites selectively edited the video of him addressing the issue.
Visit a conservative site such as FoxNews.com or Whatfinger.com or visit Youtube directly. Watch the entire video of Trump's response to the Charlottesville incident. You'll discover that when he said, "There were good people on both sides," he was not referring to the white supremacists. Anyone who can see and hear with their own two ears will figure this out in seconds. To this day, however, the mainstream media, Joe Biden, and a host of others continue to perpetuate the lie.
Seems Fishy
I'll close with a small event that illustrates a major point. In November 2017, the Japanese Prime Minister and President Trump were ceremoniously feeding koi fish. Contrary to the portrayal in the media, the President did not dump all of his fish food into the pond arbitrarily, and in haste. He followed the Japanese Prime Minister's lead.
NBC deleted that part of the video, then aired it as such to knowingly mislead you. ABC NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and many other TV networks who should know better, and a variety of other media sources continued to propagate the lie. You've been had, repeatedly, for four years now.
If you're on the Left, you're certain that everything above is not true. And yet, it is true. Will you ever find your way off of the Democratic plantation? Can you burst the liberal media bubble in which you find yourself permanently ensconced? If you've read this far, you have a fighting chance.
In answer to the last paragraph... NO.
They’re the gaslight media, gaslighting Americans for at least four years, and actually many more.
Our President did Not tell us to lock and load.... And the socialists, communists, Democrat-Republican Uniparty did not get beat like a rabid dog.
So that’s one thing he did not do.
He told us to Stand Ready.
How long will it take for Biden and the other establishment politicians to get us into another war?
The actual doing of good usually requires some work or effort. What’s of utmost importance to a Leftist is to “feel” good about themselves. If it takes lies for these Leftists to feel good about themselves, then truth be damned.
Also did NOT increase his and his families net-worth by millions while in office...possibly the first in a long time, if ever, to lose money while serving?
He didnt clean his house on day one of all the spys and corrupt scumbags that are now nailing his coffin shut
This is perhaps his only real failure: no, you can’t fire civil service bureaucrats, but he should have gotten rid of Sessions the minute he failed to enforce the law on immigration, sanctuary cities, fascist antifa, and of course, “muh Russia.” Then he should have fired the next guy if there wasn’t immediate movement. And the next guy. Don’t appoint someone new that the Senate could block. Just keep going down the chain til you find an honest cop.
Then do the CIA.
Then the Pentagon (Zero did it, firing a slew of 4-stars).
Failing to get control of the legal/judicial apparatus of government was a fatal error, in retrospect. Now, today, he can’t count on any of them to support him in enforcing the Constitution.
*** How long will it take for Biden and the other establishment politicians to get us into another war? ***
My gripe with Trump is he didn’t get us out of wars- Syria and Afghanistan. Also, he did not pardon Julian Assange.
When he does, who will answer the call?
*** Now, today, he can’t count on any of them to support him in enforcing the Constitution. ***
Agreed, but you have been getting grief for days over your “take”.
If the election is actually stolen, President Reump should should order missile attacks on Iran mainland and leave Biden with a war on his hands
That might also apply to China but Iran is a certainty
I’m afraid you’re right.
As far as I can tell he does not pick his nose in public.
“he did not pardon Julian Assange.”
Yet.
He didn’t ditch Common Core as promised. (What did Betsy DO the last four years?)
*** Yet ***
And until Trump breaks with the desires of his influencers, he won’t. Guess we will find out on Monday when Baraitser rules.
No one says politics if fair...or truthful. The problem is the people don’t make their own judgements or decisions any more. And the liberals have successfully learned over the last 50 years how to create a playbook and use it, over and over without the people getting any smarter. And the kids in schools are getting lied to to keep it that way.
The playbook is the Saul Alinsky Rules for radicals and was published in 1971. Here are a few rules in it that are pertinent:
RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. Apparently both easy to get or to recruit.
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different than any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest.
RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Sound familiar?

I wonder if the media realizes how much credibility they have lost in recent years?
