Trump hates the media because the media hates Trump. They are suppose to be impartial but they are FAR from it. Yes he said a stupid remark about the 2nd Amendment but I also want to know why Hillary was speaking and the father of the Orlando shooter, who has terrorist affiliations, is sitting smack dab behind her on screen. What is that showing and was that even on the news? If it was, definitely it was swept by.



I do think Trump hates the media, for sure. But I don't think he always did, and I don't think they hated him either until recently. If you think back to the months leading up to summer, he'd call into tv news programs regularly. One morning I got fed up because Morning Joe was having him call in- AGAIN- so I changed the channel. Later that morning he called whatever show I'd switched to. And he was really the only one who got to do that, at least as often as he did. And they asked him ridiculous easy questions too- I heard an audio clip of him & the Morning Joe hosts that was recorded without them realizing their mikes were on- and they were going over the questions they'd ask. Trump said, "ok, nothing too hard" Chat Icon And that's how it went for months until the media realized they had done a ****** job, hadn't pressed him enough and they unintentionally helped him get the nomination. If they'd done their jobs with integrity instead of for ratings and clicks, he would have imploded (like he's doing now) and we'd have another candidate.



You're right. I should have said they hate him now. He was on every news station because they were treating him like a joke but it backfired. I honestly do not think Trump thought he would get the nomination but just wanted to get his point across that the country is not in the best shape. Unfortunately people started rallying around him and he got the nomination. I find it comparable to how well Bernie did (and yes I know they are totally different with totally different perspectives) but Bernie was also showing how the government is not working the way it is and he also had a powerful movement. This election is a joke but hopefully it has made people aware of the issues that we all face and that things do need to change and we eventually will get a President who can help do that.

BUT why do we keep complaining about the stupid crazy out of control comments he makes? IMO it just means he is handing the card to HRC. And at this point, I will take it.
So keep going Trump, even the military has stopped supporting him. I guess now that they know he always wanted a purple heart but made sure he wouldn't serve his Country.
The man is nuts, let his nutty brain keep running, its making sure he DOESN"T win.



This is along the lines of what I was thinking.

I am torn because I love this country and I hate what this whole discourse consists of and makes us look like to the rest of the world. That part of me wants it to stop, now.

However, at this point, part of me also says bring it. Every dumbass and/or dangerous thing he says is starting to turn more people off, which is what I ultimately want - to keep him from winning.

Now Trump is saying this is a good thing for him because people will know where he stands with the second amendment. WTF?!! And it's a blatant lie that Clinton wants to abolish the second amendment. She just wants common sense gun laws.



Not true. Clinton clearly indicated that she would appoint Supreme Court Justices who will allow gun bans.

You guys need to stop with this.

The daily "this is why you want to vote for him."

You guys are shittttting in your pants because he is our potential president. And I am shittttting in my pants that Hillary is our potential president. It is what it is. I could post things up the wazoo about her and why we should not vote for her. Just give it a ******** rest.



It's not "us". Your candidate lowers the bar every single day of his campaign. It is *astounding* to most rational people. When your own party can't even back you, when former presidents won't back you, when RUSSIA BACKS YOU...

But hey, *we* should give it a rest. Donald Trump needs to give it a rest and stop making a mockery of our government, our people, our country.

IMHO.



And your candidate isn't much better. Did you see the NY Post today?

He has expressed admiration of Kim Jung Un who is completely insane.




Ah, there you go, sipping the liberal media koolaid. This is what he said.

Trump, Jan. 9: If you look at North Korea – this guy, he’s like a maniac, OK? And you have to give him credit. How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden — you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that? Even though it is a culture and it’s a cultural thing, he goes in, he takes over, and he’s the boss. It’s incredible. He wiped out the uncle. He wiped out this one, that one. I mean, this guy doesn’t play games. And we can’t play games with him. Because he really does have missiles. And he really does have nukes.

So, it pretty much boils down to this. He is mentioning how powerful this guy is and how we can't F with him because he has missiles and nukes. I don't see any admiration here.

Factcheck has clarified this as well as posting an article from Reuters. In another Reuters article, he has mentioned that he would talk to Jung Un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program and get China involved to help solve the problem.

People need to read the facts and stop reading the twisted liberal media.

He's a ********* but IMO so is HRC..he's just more transparent about it.

The problem I see here is people bashing Trump supporters...stop it. Everyone is entitled to vote for who they think is the better candidate..even if you don't agree and it doesn't make sense to you. It seems to me like the liberals who are supposed to be more accepting seem to be the ones doing most of the bashing on here.



Yup. This is the truth. Liberals are supposed to be so tolerant and kumbayah but damn it. I am not getting that vibe here! LOL

You - nor anyone - has ever offered a productive response. He has no policies, no potential legislation, no standing on any important topics that make any rational, logical sense.

When there is literally NOTHING that supports his wild claims (they are words, they have no actual, factual basis nor does he have any actual, factual policies) people are dumbfounded. Absolutely dumbfounded. Everyone says they are voting for him but no one says WHY other than to say Hillary is a liar and he speaks the truth?

ETA: I am not looking for anyone to respond with their reasons, this is a commentary on how people don't have anything to back DT up.



Even though you aren't looking for a response I do have to mention in other threads, I have provided a response as did others. It's literally Chat Icon You just don't want to see it. And that's fine. You will see your way and I will see mine.

I think if the Republicans had ANYONE other than Trump you'd find more tolerance among the opposing party and perhaps more constructive debates. But when your own party cannot tolerate you and you've basically alienated, insulted, ridiculed, and put down almost every race, ethnicity, gender, disability, etc. you're going to be hard pressed to find a lot of tolerance from any liberal. Or *most* anyone for that matter.

I think you'd be hard pressed to make a case for Trump being anything other than an ignorant, unpolished, inappropriate, arrogant, ill informed, rude, insulting douche. It's just what he is and what he's always been.........long before this election. He prides himself on being a loud mouth and I guess if that appeals to you, more power to you. But when you're talking about a LEADER and the HIGHEST power position in this country I'm sorry, but there is NO way Trump is suitable. I don't love HRC but I hope she thrashes him in this election because honest to god, if he's elected we're in for a VERY long, rough, horrible 4 years.

Elections get everyone heated, this year in particular, and if you're tired of hearing about how people hate Trump (or any candidate for that matter) just stay out of the discussion. If every time you read a thread like this you feel personally attacked and you're agitated then don't open these political threads. I'm ready to choke out some of the Trump supporters I know IRL because it's just CONSTANT posting of Trump rhetoric and nonsense on FB but I've learned to just keep on scrolling. Those who are complaining should do the same, it's a lot easier than arguing with people about what they should and should not be saying.

I do think Trump hates the media, for sure. But I don't think he always did, and I don't think they hated him either until recently. If you think back to the months leading up to summer, he'd call into tv news programs regularly. One morning I got fed up because Morning Joe was having him call in- AGAIN- so I changed the channel. Later that morning he called whatever show I'd switched to. And he was really the only one who got to do that, at least as often as he did.

Trump said, "ok, nothing too hard" Chat Icon And that's how it went for months until the media realized they had done a ****** job, hadn't pressed him enough and they unintentionally helped him get the nomination. If they'd done their jobs with integrity instead of for ratings and clicks, he would have imploded (like he's doing now) and we'd have another candidate.



I've ALWAYS felt that Trump has NEVER wanted to actually be president. I think he started all of this because it gave him a platform to run his mouth off and fuel his giant ego. And then the whole thing got away from him. I don't think ANYONE, including Trump, thought we'd be here right now with him as the Republican nominee. If he REALLY cared about winning you would think he would be a little more measured in his responses and statements. But he's not. Part of me thinks it's intentional. I think he wants to turn people off. I think he wants the media to hate him. I think he WANTS to lose. Truly, I do. There is NO arguing the man is ill equipped for the job and I think he knows that too. That's why he runs off at the mouth and doesn't care who hates him, I think he is purposely self destructing because at this point in time............it's his ONLY way out of this whole thing.

Maybe I'm wrong but I've felt this way since the beginning, I really don't think he ever wanted ANY of this. It all got away from him and now here he is.............likely cr@pping in his very expensive pants! Chat Icon

I agree with pretty much everything you wrote but I wanted to highlight this. I was beyond disturbed by the lack of media coverage of the Orlando shooter's dad. This morning I was watching the news and they were going on and on and on about Trump encouraging HRC be assassinated by the 2nd amendment supporters. Then, they briefly mention that the Orlando shooter's father was in the crowd at the HRC rally. It was basically, "Mateens father sat front and center. HRC's camp said she had no idea. Now to the weather." I was stunned that such a story was glossed over.

First of all, how could a known terrorist's father get into a political function like that with all of the secret service, etc.? You can not tell me that the dad is not on some watch list. His son, after pledging allegiance to ISIS, killed 50 people and injured another 50+ and he just shows up and is granted entry to that event? Secondly, how does the news just mention that in passing, like it was no biggie? Who invited him there? How did he get in? If HRC truly had no idea he was there, this is a serious security issue. Why wasn't that discussed in the story? If that was Trump and he gave that same response, it would be the only thing spoken about for days on end.

I'm really fed up with the media this election. It is so hard to get a real idea of what is going on because the media is so slanted. I would love to learn more about the third party candidates but it certainly isn't going to be through the news channels because they certainly get no air time.

I really don't like getting into political talk, it gets ugly quick but I thought this video was interesting (especially the beginning). It was interesting for me to see how he has had a lot of the same ideas and opinions for many years. I wish he spoke more like he did years ago (like in the Oprah interview). I do think ultimately he wants what's best for America but his mouth is ruining all of that for many people. Anyway, not looking to debate, just thought I'd share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCabT_O0YSM

And his response shows how he really doesn't know much about foreign affairs. No plan whatsoever.

Kim Jung Un taking over at a young age is a cultural thing? It's a dictatorship. Let's call it what it is.

Plus, his vocabulary is like an 8th grader. I don't want an 8th grader running the US.

I do read the facts and I'm really tired of hearing the "liberal media" excuse. It's insulting.

I had heard about the father being at the rally but didn't care enough to look into it further. I agree it's in poor taste but last I heard, he didn't commit the act of terrorism so I guess I just don't see what the hoopla would be about, unless there's something I missed about him being involved in the shooting. Meanwhile, ex-congressman Mark Foley was at a trump rally and he himself was involved in a child molestation scandal while in congress. So I guess I just don't understand why the Orlando shooters father is a big deal but a child molester isn't. Again, unless I missed something and he was directly involved other than being his father.

His son, after pledging allegiance to ISIS, killed 50 people and injured another 50+ and he just shows up and is granted entry to that event? Secondly, how does the news just mention that in passing, like it was no biggie? Who invited him there? How did he get in? If HRC truly had no idea he was there, this is a serious security issue. Why wasn't that discussed in the story? If that was Trump and he gave that same response, it would be the only thing spoken about for days on end.

I'm really fed up with the media this election. It is so hard to get a real idea of what is going on because the media is so slanted. I would love to learn more about the third party candidates but it certainly isn't going to be through the news channels because they certainly get no air time.



I had heard about the father being at the rally but didn't care enough to look into it further. I agree it's in poor taste but last I heard, he didn't commit the act of terrorism so I guess I just don't see what the hoopla would be about, unless there's something I missed about him being involved in the shooting. Meanwhile, ex-congressman Mark Foley was at a trump rally and he himself was involved in a child molestation scandal while in congress. So I guess I just don't understand why the Orlando shooters father is a big deal but a child molester isn't. Again, unless I missed something and he was directly involved other than being his father.




I was thinking the same thing.

Just because this man's son shot up a club does that mean he's to be held responsible for his GROWN ADULT son's actions?? Years ago my DH worked with a man (a VERY hard working good employee) whose son broke into a home and killed the homeowner. Should he have not held a job or gone into the world anymore because of the crimes of his son??? So I guess I too cannot understand why the father of the Orlando shooter cannot still live his life, have an opinion, and support a candidate despite what his son did.

Am I missing something too?

You - nor anyone - has ever offered a productive response. He has no policies, no potential legislation, no standing on any important topics that make any rational, logical sense.

When there is literally NOTHING that supports his wild claims (they are words, they have no actual, factual basis nor does he have any actual, factual policies) people are dumbfounded. Absolutely dumbfounded. Everyone says they are voting for him but no one says WHY other than to say Hillary is a liar and he speaks the truth?

ETA: I am not looking for anyone to respond with their reasons, this is a commentary on how people don't have anything to back DT up.



Even though you aren't looking for a response I do have to mention in other threads, I have provided a response as did others. It's literally Chat Icon You just don't want to see it. And that's fine. You will see your way and I will see mine.



OMG we get it! You hate everyone who represents a threat to what you feel is rightly yours, you hate Democrats, you want a wall built around this country, you want to ship back all the immigrants who are stealing your jobs, you just love that Trump is a misogynistic piece of shit who somehow represents whatever twisted set of values you clearly have.

But my liberal kool aid tastes just fine. You have fun picking up the pieces when Trump destroys whatever country we have left.
