    NFW does Trump get 60% on anything, except stupidity... one Gallup poll excepted.

    https://news.yahoo.com/americans-divided-trump-coronavirus-response-143626299.html

    Probably closer to 50%, which is still higher than it should be

    But I stand with you on sadness over opening day...

    My opinion still counts as much as yours does... since you tend to go the other way and see no fault in the PINO...

    I predict that Joe Biden won't be the nominee. How can he be? Wasn't it him who said...

    To hell with Trump and his base. Several examples of his supporters in my employers shop. Even though we're in a state with a "stay at home" order," we're "critical infrastructure" and keep working. These idiots are complaining that it's not fair that can't go to any restaurant except for take-out, and this b*tching comes as every major hospital in Southeast Michigan is near their breaking point. One small hospital closed their emergency department. And these clowns keep parroting Trump's earlier statements. His is really not a base. It's a cult.

    Lol

    Indeed on both sides there were some fine people. There was also some hateful thugs on both sides.

    But what trump haters have done is to once again willfully indulge in lies and deception exhibiting a total lack of good character . A lack of honesty and integrity. Residing alongside whale poop that lies on the bottom of the sea . Cant get any lower than that.

    Yet these trump haters must love distorting what trump says as they play these partisan games where the honesty and integrity have been bleached out. Besides hating trump clearly they love being liars, damned liars and just basic scumbags.

    Given what the demonstration was about. ..civil war generals being vandalized by common criminals and beckoning our police to protect these figures ...clearly there were good people on that side . But also hateful racists like the kkk. For you to act as if the kkk was one side and only they made up the side you dont like is the seed of deception that you use so irresponsibly.

    In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan the court ruled that malice is required.

    I think the letters will come in handy for them given the national shortage of toilet paper.

    I do believe the letter increased the frequency with which they show the ad... just to "illustrate" what Trump is talking about...

    Its the omission of his whole quote that is the fake news here. When he said there are very fine people on both sides and then follows it up with “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”
    This is the problem with liberals getting news from fake news organizations, the news is purposefully manipulating the story to try to show that Trump said something he didnt. The news gets away with it because they know that most Liberals are just to stupid and will believe anything they tell them.

    You guys need to stop believing fake news, they are making you look foolish.

    Not my question. You really believe the President of our country is so dumb he actually believed his insane dumbassery over Obama’s birth certificate?

    Why do you have such a low opinion of our President

    You are wrong. On August 15, 2017, Trump made the statement about 'very fine people on both sides'.

    He said; "Now, I'm not talking about the Neo-Nazis and the White Nationalists because they should be condemned. But you had many people in that group other than Neo-Nazis and White Nationalists, okay. And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had trouble makers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and the baseball bats, you got a lotta bad people in that group too."

    He was of course referring to Antifa. Nobody on either side were 'very fine people'. NO, just no. There was NO fine people that caused all that mess, there were NO fine White Nationalists. There were NO fine Neo-Nazis. There were NO fine Antifa!

    Good GRIEF he called the Left/Dem/MSM claims about the government response and his reaction to this a hoax NOT the virus. Why is this still an issue at all? This is as phony as the Trump ask Russia to hack Hillary's emails.

    Would you rather have the President come out and say "It's hopeless, we have no solutions, nothing looks good, we're all going to die"? Would you praise him for doing so? Would you have criticized FDR for saying "We have nothing to fear but fear itself"?

    the world is not divided into 2 groups, There where plenty of people there that are normal people that wanted the statues to be removed, and there was also plenty of normal people there that wanted to keep the statues in place.. some normal rational people wanted them removed because they though they where racist. Other normal rational people wanted them to stay because they are a part of history and was art. There is rational points on both side of the argument.

    And then there was the other 2 groups that where the radical side of things, Antifa and White nationalists. Trump specifically said he was not talking about the radicals, he was talking about the normal people on both sides of the argument.

    He said exactly what he meant. But you are here trying to push that he said that white Nationalist where good people when he said the exact opposite

    And he was wrong.... which is the general point of both ads.

    It's an issue because some Dem groups are making ads about his continued attempted gaslighting of America with his misuse of the word hoax in relation to what's going on in the world.

    My generally apolitical wife saw the 2 ads in this thread and said they were both very well done and effective. Rare for her to weigh in like that.

    His approval on anything is not 60%... that single Gallup poll is clearly an outlier. Fox News from 3/21-3/24 has him 51% (+5)

    His overall approval continues to remain below 50%..

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval-6179.html#!

    I go with George Conway on the general reason why his coronavirus approval appears higher than his overall approval.... Americans are simply confused by Trump appearing serious about something, but that will resolve itself.

    Trump files so many frivolous lawsuits, it's a wonder he hasn't been banned from the courts altogether.

    The lies and the deception are all coming from Trump. Anyone who still finds him credible on any issue should have their head examined, just as soon as they remove it from Trump's ample backside.
