As Trump’s Poll Numbers Rise, Media Begin Censoring Press Conferences

what is trump at fault for?

china said the virus could not be transferred from human to human and WHO ran with it. Trump tried a travel ban and was called a racist by schumer, pelosi and the media. de blasio and his health commissioner told new yorkers to go about their normal lives, ride the subways and enjoy life. cuomo is hording ventilators. but who is the left blaming?

 

DP politicians and the MSM have lost touch with ordinary Americans.

"The increase in Trump’s approval rating didn’t even come from his Republican supporters, either, as that demographic gained only one point, increasing from 91 to 92 percent.

Instead, it appears that Trump’s increased approval came via independents and Democrats, with support among independents increasing by eight points, 35 percent to 43 percent, and by six points among Democrats, 7 percent to 13 percent.

Gallup suggested the surge in the president’s overall approval rating may be attributable to the administration’s coronavirus response efforts, which 60 percent of respondents approved of and only 38 percent disapproved of."

Everything trump touches has turned to ****.

 

Here we go folks. An OFF TOPIC DERAIL POST AS #3 in the thread and then multiple responses. This thread was destroyed on purpose because some Leftists are totally dishonest and refuse to talk about Leftwing Media Censorship and bias. We had a "Free Press" report negatively against the President of the United States at a 95% rate, because the president puts the citizens of the United States first. Just prior, we had a President that pushed big Government and Globalism over the U.S. Citizen and he received an 80% positive media reporting rate. Our media is as corrupt as it comes. China has bought many of the Democratic Politicians like the $1.5 Billion spend on Joe Biden's family. They have the media pushing as hard as they can against Donald Trump. The Left are stooges for China and it manifests in their Democratic Party politicians and their "Useful Idiot" followers and with our national Mainstream Media.

Please quit letting Leftists drag you guys off topic. They do that when you are on a hot item they do not want to discuss like our media's corruption.

 

I hear you bro.

You expect neo-communist to have an issue with censorship?

Like I always say...

American Democrats see the control the Chinese Democrats have over media and are hella jealous. If they get a chance, they would love to impose Chinese Democrat style censorship on Americans. They want to be able to label and remove any media they disagree with.

If trump was doing poorly in these briefings the Democrats and neo-communist would amplify them.

 

Exactly, our media is carrying the water for the Globalists (Chinese) and Big Government scumbags.

Everyone that wants an honest forum should be reporting post #3. That kind of act undermines a forum and certainly screwed this thread up. But we will recover it.

Folks if the posts aren't about our Media and how they censor or mis-report our President, then we should be ignoring it and sometimes reporting it when early in a thread. I rarely report posts, but when I see a post like #3 that derails right at the inception of a thread I am all in.

 

This is quite a quandary. The media, in general, has been anti-Trump since he announced his presidency. That was even apparent in the Republican controlled house. Paul Ryan was a total jackass and pushed little through of what Trump promised.
Given the media wants Trump out, but yet, if they get a Democrat in there they will go back to having no one pay any attention to them anymore. Mancow will go back to crying over one thing or another and O'Donnell will again be questioning "who is doing all the hammering".
If I owned a large media outlet and were anti-Trump, I would continue my screed and secretly pray for his re-election just to keep what little audience I have left still intact.
On second thought, maybe that is exactly what is going on.

 

The liberals are in a full on panic!

 

How can we take you seriously when all you do is play the victim card?
Trump has spent decades alienating the press, lying about his financial strength, exaggerating at every turn ... do you honestly think the press is just going to gloss over that just so you can play stroke the ego?

You can pretend that the press went soft on Obama, but then Obama didn't get impeached, he didn't screw porn stars and then pay them off, he didn't have a charity that was forced to pay back money, he didn't get busted for operating a shaky university scam ... Trump has spent decades building this lack of trust. Hell, all of us who live around Trump in Palm Beach have been hearing stories about his cheating and scams LONG before he became President.

No, Trump built this wall of distrust through decades of crappy behavior. THAT is why the press is hard on him. He EARNED it.

 

If you feel that there was something untoward about Post #3, then feel free to report it.

The "Report" link should be clearly visible on the lower left.

Now, back on topic to the OP, I feel that Marcus's OPINION is totally ludicrous.
(And, I could not disagree more).

Just what one would expect from a Pro-Trump Blogger at an Extremely-Biased RW Blog:



In contrast to Marcus's Opinion, mine would be more in line with the Opinion cited by Nate Silver:

Yeah this seems important and suggests that a lot of Trump's approval bounce comes from Dems and indies who are trying to express sympathy at a time of national crisis but have no intention of voting for him

 

I wonder if the Democrat nominee who is an obviously senile old man has an effect on Democrats defecting to trump.

Don't you think that if Biden was obama, people would be leaving trump and watching Obama's YouTube broadcast?

 

For 3 years, the media complained that Trump never gave press conferences.

Now he has them daily and they want to censor him.

The reason is of course quite simple-Trump is appearing in peoples homes (through the internet and television), he's answering questions, he's with his crack team of experts who are there to clarify-and he's keeping Americans calm and comforted with how to win the war against the china flu. People can also see how silly and biased the media is. Ratings are through the roof.

This is why his approval numbers are at record levels. Trump always had widespread support from republicans-but now he has support from independents and even democrats.

He's the right man for the times.

 

People see that he is the most incompetent president in living memory.

 

He does not have any right to have his press conferences broadcast live. Nothing is being censored. With the volume of BS he spews, it simply is not newsworthy to broadcast him.

It is much better to review the press conference after the fact and if he did happen to say anything truthful, the networks can point it out.

 

Why does he appear to be just as popular and trending upward if all Democrats say about him is true?

Americans liking trump is a total bummer for the neo-communist movement. All they have done to hurt his numbers has failed and the "we got him now, this time, for realzees" and not getting him has made trump stronger.

 

We had more dead people the last time and no, obama is not God.

 

I hope that's true. Estimates say otherwise, but I hope you're right.

 

Record levels for Trump are still under 50%.

Bush had approval levels over 80% when he faced his crisis.

People just don't trust Trump to handle a crisis.

 

Your last sentence would be equally true if you had stopped after "Trump".

 

If that was true, his numbers wouldn't be at record highs.

 

Again, his "record" highs suck compared to most Presidents.

 

Things Trump did good on:
Banning travel from China.
Letting Dr. Fauci be the public face of the response.
Being a ideologically flexible cult leader (i.e., pivoting on a dime to (short-term) Universal Basic Income and bailouts and stimulus that would make Obama blush AND getting the GOP to go along with it).

Things Trump totally blew:
Downplaying this until his March 11th address to the country
His March 11th address to the country
Lying about the testing
Attacking governors and demanding "appreciation"
Taking responsibility

Things Trump will blow:
There won't be enough ventilators, particularly in New York
Reevaluating this after the 15th day (Tuesday) is absurd
Relaxing the restrictions by Easter is absurd
Attacking governors and demanding "appreciation"
Empathy for 100,000+ families
Taking responsibility

On policy, I agree mostly with Trump so far. He has smartly listened to the right people. So far. I was surprised the GOP went as high as they did on the package. Like I said, it helps to be a cult leader, sometimes. Trump doesn't care about deficits. That actually happens to be the smart move right now, and so the GOP don't care about deficits either. Thank God. A true Republican, like Romney or Kasich or Rubio or Pence, would have demanded something piddling, like $800 billion or something. Trump's style is to go big, and this was the time to really go big. I doubt $2 trillion will fix anything, but it will certainly help. And it won't be the last package.

However, we can see where this is headed now. The warm weather won't stop it. There's not going to be a miracle treatment or vaccine for awhile. The hospitals are going to be overwhelmed, and we'll lose a lot of good first responders. By November, the economy will be in an absolute shambles. We'll still be doing some kinds of social-distancing. The deficit will be unfathomably large. A lot of people will have died. The situation in November will be godawful. Trump will be blamed, fairly or unfairly. It's his administration. He's the guy at the top. I don't see how Biden doesn't win in a landslide.

 

Trump's only real hope is that people tend to rally round a leader in a crisis. If he doesn't screw things up too badly - or at least if he isn't seen as having screwed things up too badly - he has a chance. But I agree that, fairly or unfairly, he will be blamed for the economic situation in November. Which will not be pretty. At all.

 

Trump is recommending we hunker down until April 30th. That's smart. I can't believe the amount of pressure Trump is under to relax the restrictions.

 

Figures only the spelling is the main concern
