    This is a man who lies constantly and slanders with no regard for the truth. He is a terrible person who is open about cheating on his ex-wife, bragged about sexually assaulting woman, and has many women come forward as victims. He has made fun of women, veterans, and the disabled. He tried to obstruct justice and tried to obstruct the investigations of his administration's ties to Russia, and very likely fired the man who was investigating him for investigating him. His team has a suspicious amount of connections with Russia and he has a strangely warm relationship with Putin, a murderer who is views almost entirely negatively by both parties. He has no regard for the truth and makes up lies about the popular vote, inauguration crowds, just about everything and politifact has documented more than 100 lies. He makes up lies about the media being fake news whenever they bring forward legitimate problems. His administration is full of leaks and he has spent a record amount of time on vacation or on the golf course when he criticized Obama for doing much less of this. He has appointed family members in top administration positions and ignored conflicts of interest even when they benefited his company. He told the Russians classified information that they are now free to share with the Iranians their friends. He is planning to uninsure 24 million people to give big tax cuts to the rich and wants to cut funding to alternative energy research and science to pay for more military and all this while we have a massive deficit. He wants to built a wall that will cost tens of billion of dollars even though most illegals get in through visas and a rope and ladder gets around this 25 billion dollar wall. Lets talk more about foreign policy. He now wants to give 100 billion dollars of weapons to the Saudis even though they have a history of using them against anti-administration rebels in Yemen. Need I say more? He is reality tv trash and doesn't deserve to be president.

    I find it funny that you go around screaming when Hillary Clinton doesn't store classified information properly and puts it at risk but you don't say anything when Trump just lets Russia know our secrets and btw Russia is friends with China and Iran. Trump even defended this on twitter.

    Poor baby. You think this opinion is from the Washington Times. It's not. If you have information that the Unification Church controls the Shorenstein Center, please provide your evidence. It's understandable you might not want to read the opinion of a news source you don't like, but this was a study by a respected group. Your reason for avoiding the article suggests a fear of the the truth. Try the actual source.

    OP left out some important details:

    This research is partially funded by Rebecca Donatelli.

    In addition:

    • President Trump dominated media coverage in the outlets and programs analyzed, with Trump being the topic of 41 percent of all news stories—three times the amount of coverage received by previous presidents. He was also the featured speaker in nearly two-thirds of his coverage.
    • Republican voices accounted for 80 percent of what newsmakers said about the Trump presidency, compared to only 6 percent for Democrats and 3 percent for those involved in anti-Trump protests.
    • European reporters were more likely than American journalists to directly question Trump’s fitness for office.
    • Trump has received unsparing coverage for most weeks of his presidency, without a single major topic where Trump’s coverage, on balance, was more positive than negative, setting a new standard for unfavorable press coverage of a president.
    • Fox was the only news outlet in the study that came close to giving Trump positive coverage overall, however, there was variation in the tone of Fox’s coverage depending on the topic.

    Mello, you old goat. Nobody deflects more than you or attempts to derail more threads with non sequiturs than yourself. Please PM me when you have something useful to add to an thread.

    that doesn't work when the poster was not saying Trump was Hitler, but pointing out negative news about people behaving badly is expected

    Are you kidding me!? It's very telling that of all the analogies available to him, he had to pick one involving Hitler. So my reference fits like a glove. You don't agree? Tough.

    The investigation is about Russian interference into the election and doesn't necessarily include Trump but little facts like that escape the TDS crowd.

    Except that Trump is not under investigation. You just told another lie.... just like those that think you are stupid and will believe/repeat anything they broadcast.

    Not having seen the study, I call bunk on this Wash Post article.

    Nixon had it much worse towards his end in office.

    DJ Trump is simply repeating all of Nixon's acts (obstruction of justice) but earlier on.

    Trump has made his own bed and now he needs to sleep in it.

    DJ Trump needs to give up his quest against ACA. There is no future in it.

    Trump needs to get on with tax reform, cutting taxes on corporations overall and making mega-companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Walmart, etc. who have hidden profits in overseas tax havens and shelters to pay for the bill on the tax cuts for everybody else.

    Trump needs to give up on individual taxation because those taxes are already as low as they can get thanks already to Reagan and to Dubya.

    And Trump needs to come up with a bipartisan plan for infrastructure improvement and upgrading like he promised the working poor in the swing states or else he is going to lose The White House to the DEM's -- probably to Kaine.

    Oh.... so Obama was under investigation all over the place with Hillary Clinton's emails, Lois Lerner's attacks on Conservatives, and Benghazi.
