    The media responsible for his success? Are you really trying to sell that hogwash? The media was having a field day, like a pack of wild dogs attacking. I guess if they had actualy supported him there wouldn't be a democrat in office anywhere. I don't think they can make glasses strong enough to correct your level of myopia.

    Yeah, you'd think the right would stop it already. But then again, they need such fear and division to get their reps elected - that and serious gerrymandering and voter suppression.

    Funny how they are in a state of constant projection.

    Not during the primaries. How much did he spend during the primaries?
    At any rate, free publicity. Yes, I'm selling it.

    So you are a devotee to the "right wing media" that you define as FOX.

    And you claim innocence of the true left wing media, true by your own standards I hasten to add, and claim they do not attack Trump.

    What colors do you like for your easter eggs?

    Then you admit that the president was smarter than both his opponent and the media, beat them at their own game?
    Clearly then you understand the great frustration and embarrassment that drives them to such outrageous behavior.
    Looks like you have figured it out.

    That's what Trump does; that is his forte- outsmart the competition, and win. That's also why he's going to be a great president.

    TAke myself for instance. If I see FOX, who the Democrats fancy as their enemy, it is on local Channel 2 (seldom watched by me) which features straight up news (I watch the Democrats favorite news broadcasts) or on youtube. I enjoy Fox News Sunday for it's news reports. Talk shows are not what I call news. PBS has evolved into a talk show. I watch it for an hour M-F and am frustrated it blatantly supports only Democrats!! (Channel 2 does not have Smith, nor Hannity nor Ingraham etc. It is simply an affiliate station.)

    If the left watches say CNN they can't also watch Shepard Smith of FOX a very openly blatant supporter of Democrats, or they would stop blasting FOX. FOX has other news too. It reports on financial news. It has opinion people. Those do not block the left on their programs. The left has ample chances to offer propaganda. And it does.

    Ask republicans who watch FOX what they think about FOX Shepard Smith news. He will catch a lot of criticism. I once paid to watch FOX so know what i speak of.

    OK, picking at me means I am not far right. On the political compass test, i was put one click right and one click up. I am almost dead nuts center. I see problems with all of them.

    The public can access far right media (Fake Alt Right Media) without any difficulty.

    Robert, I am basing your political bias by your writings here.

    By what you right on the board: you are a Trump alt righty. Your own words define you. Your political leanings certainly don't appear mainstream.

    What's comical is you really believe that the crap you read is any different.

    Quoting 538 and Yahoo as a news sources lol, just search the threads you make.

    Thank you above. And as a matter of point: it's also worth noting that conspiracy theorists and those that buy into conspiracy theories are rarely convinced. There's mounds of research that shows that facts do not convince people, it only makes them dig in their heels more aggressively.

    I see, you hate FOX. Watch this and explain what you do not like about the news.

    I have many times stated clearly on this forum who I wanted to be president. I never defined it as wanting Trump. I believe other voters forced him onto me. A lot of Democrats claim they are disgusted by Hillary. i agree she is disgusting.

    Should a number of us define you? Is that your game?

    I define you as suffering from presidential delusions.

    Especially delusions as to Trump.

    Apparently you want presidents to do different things. I also share that. I want them to do different things too. But they are what voters shoved down our throats. I voted him as the least evil.

    Here is the truth about FOX News.

    Exactly just what you do. Don't fear, I do it too. My problem is I recall living presidents clear back to FDR. I have seen them come and go.

    To be fair Jake, you think anyone to the right of Salon is an alt-right Nazi. The middle is so far away from your far left position that you can't even see it with binoculars.

    I strongly urge you to spread out to plenty of sources to assist you in ridding yourself of your brand of bias. I hope you know of your own biases?

    He has plenty of nerve speaking to posters and alleging they have biases he is unhappy with.

    He self defines as a Democrat or in that vein supporter.

    Not in the slightest. You far righties think the middle is somehow communist. That is silliness. The majority of America disagrees with Trump and his supporters, and that number is growing. And the message of the Fake Alt Right Media is not going to change that.

    Admit? I think that was obvious. He is a good con man. And the media, well it sold tons of advertising. I bet viewership was up.
    He didn't host reality TV because he couldn't con people.
    He did beat them, and America is losing because of it. The divisive rhetoric is near highs.

    No, I don't see the frustration and embarrassment. I don't watch them. Never have. It's National Enquirer on TV. Fluff and BS.
    But, he was the one to declare war on the media. Not the other way around.

    At any rate, the way he attacks all not RW, he deserves every bit he dishes out. So no one should whine the media is against him. He wants that.
