NEW YORK (AP) -- They wash their hands of neo-Nazis and wag their fingers at leftists. They denounce a press corps they see as biased and controversies they view as manufactured. But in the frenzied blame game over the deadly violence at a rally of white supremacists, Donald Trump's loyal base is happy to absolve the president himself.

Even as Trump's zig-zag response to the weekend bloodshed in Charlottesville, Virginia, has brought criticism from some Republican lawmakers, many men and women who helped put him in office remain unmoved by the latest uproar.

"He has done nothing to turn me away from him," said Patricia Aleeyah Robinson, of Toledo, Ohio.

Robinson is black and her support of Trump has put her at odds with many in her life, costing her friendships and straining family relationships.....

Mr. President: For every statue taken down, raid a marijuana dispensary and seize its assets. The Treasury will be rolling in money for your projects.

Let’s think here. Senators and Reps who probably have 1/50th of Trumps popularity. If that. He wants Trump to kiss off his base? To make despised SwampRat GOO Congressmen happy?

My sides.

Bullshit.

” I love when I wake up in the morning and Donald Trump is President.”

Me and many people I know still love he’s our President. Enjoy his tweets, slams on the media, fights back unlike every other government official supposedly on our side. We’re just not as vocal about it because we have jobs we don’t want to lose. That’s the thing about being not a liberal or dreg on society. We don’t have the PC cloak protecting us. But we voted!

Thank heavens you and others can’t control his mouth. He and we don’t want it nor need it.

Again Bullshit. You do not want him to succeed. GMAFB.

His tactics for implementing those ideas are on target despite what the media and sheep keep trying to tell us.

His advisors may or may not be great and so be it. He is doing exactly what he said he’d do and for that those who supported and voted for him are incredibly happy. Obviously who didn’t really support him or you’re a moron who believes the MSM. The last President (or any politician) I supported like this was Reagan so you can kiss my ass.

I don’t give a damn about the ACU or anything else that pretends to be what they are not. And don’t think for one second that some of us don’t see you for what you are.

57. President Trump has worked with Congress to pass more legislation in his first 100 days than any President since Truman

58. Has given head executive of each branches 6 month time frame, dated March 15, 2017, to trim the fat, restructure and improve efficiency of their branch. (Observe the push-back the leaks the lies as entrenched POWER refuses to go silently into that good night!)

59. Last, refused his Presidential pay check. Donated it to Veterans issues

I hope each and every one of you copy and paste this every where, every time you hear some dimwit say Trump hadn’t done a thing!

I get all that. I studied Law too. Big deal.

It doesn’t matter what Trump says or does, the media/progressives/anti-trumpers/race baiters/etc. will never even give him an inch even when he’s right most of the time.

We know this. It hasn’t worked in the past and it sure as hell won’t work now in our current environment. It’s time to fight back. This is why he won. The non stop Trump bashing by the media works on those who didn’t really support him anyway. It’s not changing the minds of those of us who supported and continue to support him.

He was “done” so many times according to the liberal and conservative media since his first announcement to run for POTUS and he still won the Primary and General.

He wasn’t “done” then and he isn’t “done” now and I am grateful he isn’t listening to all these armchair quarterbacks.

you’re correct because he initially came out and gave a statement that was harsh against the marchers but the media still complained about it.

I agree with you completely.
You are so right. His list of accomplishments is spectacular.

The problem is, his uncontrolled comments and tweets push these accomplishments to the back of people’s minds, and occurrences such as the Charlottesville-related remarks are driven to the front of their thought processes.

Charlottesville was an unforced error, a big one.

It is my prayer that he continues his very much needed achievements, and stops the reputation-destroying asides.

Remember this
Obama scolded for failure to acknowledge deaths of Md. deputies

By Martin Weil February 15, 2016

A county sheriff in Maryland has posted online an open letter to President Obama, complaining that he has failed to publicly recognize the deaths of the two deputies in another Maryland county who were killed last week in the line of duty.
