    claiming he is the enemy of the people
    is a little funny. Don't you feel so?

    Remember in a dictatorship the dictator controls 100% of the press, if they say someone is the enemy of the people, he could be a real hero.

    The number of Obama associates who got indicted during his 8 years is zero.
    The number of Trump associates who got indicted during first 3 years is 7.
    He is so evil that everybody around him is a criminal, right? Or the whole system is trying to crush him.

    Now you should think really hard.
    Is Trump really such a big devil who was accidentally elected by nearly half of the American people, or he just poked into the darkness of something real evil so that they have to remove him?

    Who is the real dictator?

    Trump was elected by 39% of registered voters.

    Portraying Trump as the "victim" is getting old. Every President faces criticism, it comes with the job. Trump is just
    the child-man who complained the most about it.

    Elect a Drama Queen and you get drama.

    I'm talking about the ONE-SIDEDNESS.
    There should be 39% of the press who approves of him, right?
    But there isn't.
    It's scary.
    There's something wrong. You just don't admit it.

    If not wanna be dictatorship, how would you describe his accusation of 'fake' or 'nasty' lodged at anyone who criticizes him in public? Using his POTUS stature, he bullies people and suggests boycotts of companies that he thinks are anti Trump. And when asked about the potential of harm to the employees of that company, he simply said that they'll have to get other jobs.

    How about we use Occam’s razor

    Either 99% of the press are wrong and in some sort of conspiracy

    or

    Donald Trump is known cheat crook and fraudster who has used the court system as a club to get what he wanted and is patently unfit to fart let alone run a country

    Threatening to fire any employee who wears a Trump hat, who is bullying?
    But don't think at this micro level. Try to get the big picture.
    Grow up.

    The press is not one or two people (except at Fox where Rupert still rules). The global press is a diverse entity made up of tens of thousands of individuals around the world. It is the function of the press to show where the government is failing and TO HOLD THE GOVERNMENT ACVOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE IT SERVES!!

    Trump supporters seem to have forgotten that and are following in Trumps lead that anyone saying something bad about him = enemy to be destroyed and those who say something nice = great person to be rewarded

    Why not?
    Go ahead.
    Either all the press are wrong or the one person they deem dangerous is indeed the enemy of the Chinese people.
    Grow up.

    Oh! Please!

    You haven’t fallen for that “victim mentality” ,manipulation have you? This is a classic ruse based on the fact that Republicans light up a different area of the brain than Democrats. Where Democrats light up the Insula Republicans light up the Amygdala - which is the fight or flight system. This is why engendering fear of persecution, loss, marginalisation tends to get more of a response from republican voters than Democrats

    Trump is only the “enemy” of those he sees as not being “on his side”

    if you toady up to him, as Putin and Kim Jong Un have found, he rolls over and let’s them wipe their feet on him

    All true. It is a matter of degree, though.

    It's been an all out MSM and Hollybrood war on Trump for 1894 days now. People expect it. It doesn't have much of an effect. All is good.

    A lot of people mute them until they see the weather come on.

    BTW the two hurricanes are going to merge in the Gulf and kill fifty million people.

    Where did anyone say an employee would be fired for wearing a Trump hat? You know what happens at most companies when you come in wearing something against the dress code? You're asked to remove it. If it's a shirt, you might be asked to flip it inside out or put something else on. A Goodyear employee comes in with a MAGA hat? They'll probably just be asked to take it off.

    Grow up? Does everyone who does not think or believe like you need to grow up? I've seen you use this response more than once.

    Let's not focus on the details.
    I believe you know almost all the multinational corporations dislike Trump and Trump supporters.
    Goodyear is just another of them that has openly joined the campaign to unseat him.
    Trump just retaliated an eye for an eye. You know there is war going on.
    The question worthy of asking is why? What caused this unsavalgeable rift.

    Grow up=You need to improve your thinking so as to see the big picture that an well-educated grown-up can grasp.
    It's a reminder that you need to expand and deepen your thinking.
    Let's not get personal. You can use it on me if you have good reason.

    The "something wrong" is that Trump has played the press for 40 years - now nobody trusts him.
    It's not the press just decided to start criticizing Trump on the day he was elected.
    Trump has a history. It goes back to how Trump tried to play the Press over his Atlantic City investments.
    He lied constantly about the viability of those casinos until he could sell them off. He hurt a lot of people in that town.

    Again, you pretend Trump doesn't have a history.
    There are 40 years of bad feelings between Trump and the Press because Trump has used the press in the past to
    hurt people.

    If you get the details right, folks won't have to focus on them. If you can't them right, just leave them out.

    And I don't know how an internal corporate dress code translates to disliking a president and openly campaigning to unseat him. There is war going on? An unsalvageable rift? That's some pretty dramatic language to use over an internal company policy.

    You don't think Trump's own personality and history plays a part in the degree of which he is in the press?
    Most President wouldn't have played this daily (and I mean daily) game of attention seeking - attention which sometimes back-fires on him. Trump is like the dog tied in the yard that has to bark at every dog or person that passes by.

    I don't remember the press saying this. I do remember Trump saying the press is the enemy of the people.

    Not sure what your point is here.

    Trump is corrupt. Those indicted during his term are just the latest in a history of corruption throughout Trump's life. Trump should have stayed in the reality TV business. It's the only thing he does well. It's the only thing he can do.

    Trump's not up to the job. It is what it is.

    Trump is a very very unsophisicated president. He is just stupid. He doesn't even know he has to pretend he resents dictators.
    Obama and Bidenare are just much more prefessional. They eloquently condemned dictatorship and praised justice.
    But believe me, you are deceived. Obama and Biden did way more disservice to the cause of freedom of human race.
    I just name one thing as an example:
    Trump did say he had good chemistry with president Xi but it's his admistration that declared China's annexation and militarization of the South China sea is illegal.
    When China took and militarized those islands during Obama presidency, neither Obama nor Biden said anything at all. They gave tacit approval to the Chinese.
    This hurt America's strategic interests badly and will cost American lives in the future.
    Think hard. Look deeper into the reality. Not just the looks.

    Of course. Anyone can see that he has a personality not seen in a president in the past. He is thin skinned, rude and pugnacious.

    I agree. However it shouldn't matter. We should ignore the shenanigans and concentrate on the activity which I view as mostly positive. I will never forgive him for the overspending and the failure to fight the business closures, but I view the rest as more positive than negative.

    Trump is absolutely correct. The press is the enemy of the people.

    Trump places tariffs on China.
    Biden lets China hire his crackhead son to run a $1.5 billion mutual fund.

    LOL. "The honest press", lol. Sure.

    The "press" has devolved to a state of losers who couldn't get a degree in anything else, being lazy and quoting social media for their sources.

    It's like telephone. One reporter gets a bright idea and the rest of the subpar liberal reporters parrot the latest talking point.

    That's the media today.
