    Perhaps, but we don't always control how much we spend on things, do we?

    While I see your reason to claim that, it is what it is. Overall the economy is awesome. I recall when it was Obama, if things approved 1 percent the Democrats would scream what a hero Obama was. Even when Trump appoints justices, they get attacked over being appointed. False charges in the media hammer his pick.

    I have got to the point that as to TV, I do not waste my time watching the news since I already know what the news will say about trump.
    It is so bad that even on PBS they smash the president daily. Me and others were protesting so PBS ended the chat room. And it was good. We got to take on the lying Democrats daily.

    Simply untrue. Hannity, Limbaugh, et al are both part of mainstream media, insomuch as they have large audiences, and are definitely pro-Trump.

    Well Trump is golfing 3 times as often as Obama and he doesn't play at military courses nearby.

    Trump is crude and poorly educated. That's why he has alienated all our allies.

    the economy was crashing as it was passed off to Obama, Obama recovered it, what Obama failed to do is address foreign outsourcing, I was hoping Trump would address that is why I supported Trump in the beggining

    He has not alienated all of our allies. A tradition for Democrats is to worship their presidents and loath this nation's best presidents.

    They hated Reagan's guts. They hated GHW Bush until he raised taxes. Democrats love to not pay taxes and only charge the rich. They hate GW Bush to this day.

    How appropriate to quote Goethe after having made your Faustian bargain with Trump. Actually, if you subtract inflation from wage growth, Trump is ahead by about 1%...or a penny on the dollar.

    come on - I dislike Trump for numerous reasons - but - the Media has been over the top on the left.

    My concern is not so much the bias. The left MSM is normally biased against a Red Potus and Right for a Blue Potus.

    My concern is that "Trump" and the various "Trump-gaits" is pretty much all you hear 24/7 - as if there is nothing else going on in the world and nothing to talk about with respect to this nation except Stormy Daniels - or the latest Trump Disaster du jour.

    Thing is that some of the more important Trump disasters - stuff that matters (as opposed to Stormygait or Russian meddling in our electoral process) are not discussed in any detail.

    Trump is the ring leader for a side show distraction - a reality TV soap opera that you cant seem to look away from.

    Look - and laugh - or cry if you like but, don't start thinking that the daily soap opera is more than what it is.

    Something is wrong when the MSM has been reduced to the level of National Enquirer.

    The myth being it was what Obama did.

    Give you an example.

    To this day, the media credits the recovery as were it done by Obama.
    Due to the housing crash, what did Bush do?
    1. He bought the GSE that was deeply involved in the crash and solved their problem.
    2. He bailed out the auto industry, saving at a minimum 2 large corporations that provided jobs.
    3. He saved the banking industry. s

    Then along came Obama pretending when he paved our city roads, he saved our butt. I never paved roads. And I suspect no posters here paved roads. Had Obama been so awesome, he would not have poured millions into Solyndra that failed shortly after he handed it money.

    Some people hated Bush's invasion of Iraq.. Why all the drama? Trump's ignorance is not in doubt.

    Trump dominates every news cycle with his idiotic statements and tweets. You really shouldn't blame media.

    The media very often reports him wrong. Tweets can also be very misused. I have tweeted a few times to get a handle on how it works but the world did not come to an end either. According to the media, Tweets brand Trump a failure.

    I have a hell of a lot of Beefs against FDR and how he mismanaged this country but I do not call him silly lousy names either. I can think of a lot of bad things about LBJ as well and I voted for him. How do you suppose I feel about our men in uniform he sent to their deaths? What Bush did was peanuts set alongside what FDR and Johnson did.

    The media has Trump on video.. How do they "get it wrong"?

    Trump is not bright, not well educated, has ugly personality problems and is now getting senile.

    under Obama I said Obama's recovery would be temporary if we did not address foreign outsourcing, still true today

    this is me when I supported Trump
    both Obama and Trump have failed to address this problem, one that I think is not only a economic issue, but a national security issue to let places like India control our digital infrastructure
