why does he still have supporters?
when even any random kid knows that hes bad or at least not doing a good job at being the POTUS.
shareA random kid like you?
sharewell any kid that doesnt relies on Fox news as the only source of news they are getting I guess.
shareWell a lot of people watch CNN and MSNBC and if you think those networks are unbiased then you are seriously out of touch. Its the behavior of those networks getting caught putting forward BS that has allowed Trump to so successfully use the Fake News crap, particularly CNN. Some of its intentional, and some of it simply shoddy reporting, but the shoddy reporting is partially caused by desire to make the current President look bad. I am not a big Trump fan but its pretty clear you are definitely not going to get an honest look at his Presidency from most of these networks.
shareNo one said anything about CNN and MSNBC not being biased. Every media organization has its slant. But that's not the topic. But any reasonable measure of Trump is that he's unhinged and incompetent. But you'd never know it watching Fox.
shareI don't think he is really either. He runs the Presidency like he would one of his businesses. He isn't a politician and doesn't act like one. Government probably runs far too slowly for how he normally does his business. I am not a huge fan of the man, but in the end results will matter most.
But as far as coverage goes, while FOX has a lot of viewers, there is little question most of the questionable news comes from the left leaning networks like CNN,MSNBC,NBC etc which combined reach far more people. I have no problem if you want to call out FOX, but a person is being dishonest if you think FOX is worse than the other networks whose reach in the end goes further.
By any objective measure based on "results" as you say, Trump has still been a dismal failure as president. There hasn't been a president who has accomplished so little when his own party has controlled both houses of congress. He should be passing major legislation left and right when his own party controls congress. Instead he's so preoccupied being such a divisive figure and attacking people in his party that nothing gets done.
He finally got his massive giveaway to the corporations and himself with the tax cut he just signed, but no thanks to him since all the heavy lifting came from congress members who had kindly asked his advisers to keep him away because he was doing more harm than good due to his ignorance of the bills being debated.
The democrats struggled with this as well when Obama was in office, the ACA just barely made it through before they lost the ability to pass it and that legislation was doomed to be overhauled no matter who was President, so I am not sure how accomplished that was. Trump did get the Tax cut through that even Bernie admitted was a good thing for most Americans, even while whining that corporation got something. One of the most important things that effect perception of a Presidency is the economy and as it stands whether its something he personally had something to do with or not, the economy has improved since he took office. We will see. I didn't vote for the man, but I also don't want him to fail. I didn't care for Obama, he did little to improve the country, but I never wished for him to fail either. I will judge Trump when his term is done and we actually see what he did instead of nit picking everything and trying to wish bad things to happen.
shareNot at all because republicans made a big stalling effort to seat Al Franken remember? They only had a supermajority for a very brief one month.
But that's not the only major legislation passed by him. You seem to be forgetting that in his first six months he signed the Lily Ledbetter fair pay act, Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, the American Recovery and Investment Act aka the stimulus bill, Omnibus Appropriations Act that laid out the federal budget, the Credit CARD Act, (bill providing consumer protections, such as a credit card bill of rights), and the Omnibus Public Land Management Act which was a large public land management bill which, among other things, protected over two million acres of wilderness spread over nine states.
Do you understand that there are sunset provisions on middle class tax cuts while tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations are permanent while it blows a 1.5 trillion hole in the deficit? In other words, the middle class will be bearing the brunt of the burden of the cost of the bill when their tax cuts expire. It's essentially a massive re-distribution of wealth to the wealthy. The American people rightly perceive this, which is why the tax bill is so unpopular.
Did you know Trump inherited a strong economy that had added jobs for 85 consecutive months and can only take credit for 10 of them? It's hard to reconcile your claim that Obama "did little to improve the country" when he inherited the worst economic recession since the Great Depression and added 11.5 million jobs, reducing unemployment from 10% to 4.8% when he left office, rescued a US auto industry on the brink of insolvency, improved weekly earnings for all workers 4.8% on his watch. Why are you crediting Trump for improving the economy that was already rising thanks to his predecessor while ignoring what Obama had a direct hand in improving with legislation?
Well I live in Canada and here the news is incredulous to the amount of crap he does and gets away with. CNN and MSNBC are telling the truth. If you live outside of America you can see the amount of sycophancy going on within the FOX or FAUXNEWS channel. You say the reporting by these news channels have shoddy reporting and that they're desire is to make the current potus look bad? They don't have to make him look bad, he is bad. There is a reason Trump has been made persona non grata in the UK. Because he's a half wit fascist who is also a sexist ass. That's as honest as the countries outside of the United States can get. They're not doing it. MNBC and CNN aren't doing it. Trump is doing it on his own. He's rescinded every single safeguard on the environment, heath, animals..... He refuses to acknowledge that his main supporters are Nazi loving fascists. Those news networks are telling the absolute truth. Trump is a danger to the world. You don't got smacking that hornet's nest that is North Korea and keep doing it because you want to have a nuclear war. And that's that Trump wants. He wants to be able to use those codes to prove he's decisive. There are members of the military already trying to figure out how they can resist him without committing treason against the president. One should not have to worry about your president being mentally unstable enough to have to resist him. The military hate him.
