Around 5:30 each morning, President Trump wakes and tunes into the television in the White House’s master bedroom. He flips to CNN for news, moves to “Fox & Friends” for comfort and messaging ideas, and sometimes watches MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” because, friends suspect, it fires him up for the day.

Energized, infuriated — often a gumbo of both — Mr. Trump grabs his iPhone. Sometimes he tweets while propped on his pillow, according to aides. Other times he tweets from the den next door, watching another television. Less frequently, he makes his way up the hall to the ornate Treaty Room, sometimes dressed for the day, sometimes still in night clothes, where he begins his official and unofficial calls.

As he ends his first year in office, Mr. Trump is redefining what it means to be president. He sees the highest office in the land much as he did the night of his stunning victory over Hillary Clinton — as a prize he must fight to protect every waking moment, and Twitter is his Excalibur. Despite all his bluster, he views himself less as a titan dominating the world stage than a maligned outsider engaged in a struggle to be taken seriously, according to interviews with 60 advisers, associates, friends and members of Congress.

everything Trump does is for love of country.

and every good deed he does the media try to to destroy him for it.

he has nothing personal to gain.

I recently watched a video wherein a survivor of the German invasion of Russia remarked that she quit reading the Soviet papers because “They were all lies.”

We are at that stage in our history, I am aFRaid, wherein all we get, for the most part, are lies.

When will the liars be held accountable?

“The bigger problem, the thing people need to understand, is that he was utterly unprepared for this. It would be like you or me going into a room and being asked to perform brain surgery. When you have a lack of knowledge as great as his, it can be bewildering.”
~ Nancy Pelosi

Donald Trump is a self made multi billionaire, and has been CEO of his various international firms for decades. As such, he is probably the most qualified person to hold the office of President in our nation's history.

Nancy Pelosi would do well to remember that the last Democrat president never ran so much as a lemonade stand in his ebtire life, and was probably the least qualified person to hold that office in American history.

I see that the NYT Nazi whore Maggie, and her two poodles, Glenn and Peter, are failing to remain relevant in a world that finds them irrelevant.

So sad....

He’s driving them mad. Literally. They don’t know what to do.

Absolute true post of this thread. King David of Israel had the same problem because he was doing what was right. I would hope Trump's staff or someone encourages him to reads those passages and pray to God for support:

Psalms 9:13 Be gracious to me, O Lord; Behold my affliction from those who hate me, Thou who dost lift me up from the gates of death;
Psalms 35:19 Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Neither let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously.
Psalms 38:19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong; And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
Psalms 69:4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies, What I did not steal, I then have to restore.
Psalms 86:17 Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed, Because Thou, O Lord, hast helped me and comforted me.
Psalms 101:3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me.
Psalms 118:7 The Lord is for me among those who help me; Therefore I shall look with satisfaction on those who hate me.

I am positive someone is going to try to kill President Donald Trump. Now, all the Secret Service guys will get to read the Psalms passages. :D

Saw the incorrect headline and won’t read the piece. The President is busy making moves that matter while sending the hysterical lefties scurrying to and fro.

This article in Pravda on The Hudson will be a benchmark in a history retrospective that will have the title: “Inside The New York Times Hour by Hour Attempt at Self-Preservation”.
