Was that the one where he bragged about how he had gotten the military a 10% pay raise, their first in ten years (both were lies, of course). It's my favorite Trump lie, because it came complete with an imaginary conversation with 'them'. They told him how about 3% or 4% and Trump told 'them', 'no let's make it 10%' Watching him recite this story, I think he might have actually believed his own bullshit. It was remarkable.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
Sounds a bit low to me since 99.9% of what he does is negative.

You see, that is the problem. No one, particularly someone who has been elected President, can possibly do 99.9% negative things and not be removed from office for cause. The best historical example of that was the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. He missed removal by one (1) vote, and it wasn't on party lines either. His presidency could be framed as highly negative as the reason for his impeachment.
But, Trump gets zero credit even when he does something neutral or correct. Instead, those events are turned into negatives by the MSM. That's not news, its propaganda. That's a big problem.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
It's by design. DT wants bad press, brings it on. Most news is bad news. If you want to be in the news all the time you have to do bad things. DT is addicted to free publicity, feeds off it. He knows the score. He brings it all on himself and he does it on purpose.

What has he done that's neutral or correct in 2020?
Liar Trump, Coward FDA chief

Hahn, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said he was "not going to get into who's right and who is wrong"
America is so irresponsible

It is called reporting the news. You rightys think it is like global warming. Since you are too stupid to understand that it is real and happening, and your noninformational opinion deserves the same time as real stories backed by science do. It is not true. Trump gets the press he earns. A guy who has cranked out 20 K lies in 4 years should not be treated like a respectable and honest person.

Neutral: Created the US Space Force as a separate branch of the military in Dec 2019 and appropriations made in 2020 for it. Haven't seen or heard a word on that occurring.
Correct: As of Jan 2020, had lowest unemployment, lowest minority unemployment, and best job growth in economy since the 1950's.
Neutral or correct: Has built about 170 miles of border wall (and yes, replacing vehicle barriers or multi-strand barbed wire fence counts since neither is a "wall") with about another 75 miles under construction. Whether you agree with this or not, it is an accomplishment that he said he was going to do and has done in part despite no support from Congress.
Controversial but certainly a success: Impeachment became little more than a circus in Congress and failed giving the Democrats a black eye for their blatant partisanship on it.
Not nearly as astonishing as the fact that as you concede, he is more bad than good, and NEVER EVER is that ever acknowledged as true. This thread is preposterous given that
total unwillingness to admit any fault whatsoever from his base in what factually and by great consensus is the worst, most defective human in both word and deed to ever hold this office.
I guess that is why it is a successful troll thread. It is so egregiously untrue in its essence.

I think Trump is as a person terrible. But he wasn't elected for his less than charming personality. He was elected to accomplish things for the nation. In the economy, he certainly in the last three years proved far, far more capable of getting the economy going than Obama did in eight years, or even Bush in his eight years. In foreign policy nobody can accuse him of the sort of slathering bootlicking Obama made to every dictator on the planet while kicking our best allies to the curb.
So, while I think Trump is someone I'd never, ever invite to dinner and is grating to listen to, he hasn't done all that bad as President. He certainly hasn't been a great President but at least he's not the failure Obama was and Biden will be if he gets elected.
Not particularly to change the subject, but as a side note here on Biden. I find it interesting that this may well prove to be the first election for president in US history that has one candidate doing everything he can (or his campaign team is) to not campaign at all. Biden doesn't want to debate Trump at all it seems. That seems strange as he claims he has better mental faculties than Trump, as do many of Trump's detractors. I would think Biden would be eager to show Trump up on live television for the fool he claims Trump is.
Yet, Biden is rarely seen in public, only interviews with reporters who give softball questions to him, and is pretty much not even campaigning at all.

There was plenty of good press on the economy - when it was actually good. It ended after January. This is Trump's economy now.
I guess the wall would be an article or something. Headline news? Kind of meh.
2020 has been the worst year for any President in memory. It's really no surprise that most of the coverage is negative.

It's quite simple. What happens when a politician misspeaks or misbehaves? And you ignored the right wing spin to make him look as good as possible. Why aren't you worried about that?
So in other words, be quiet about it?
Sure it can be assume but it doesn't make it true. If you want to prove, then provide examples of articles spun into negative story.
By your logic, Fox News was interested in getting Obama out of the office.
Then start acknowledging the spin on Fox News.
Will you be giving any examples of what the world wide fake news missed??
odd. We all have and it was a bad idea. Space Force was TV to fool the unenlightened.
3 miles of wall has been built. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ust-THREE-MILES-entirely-new-border-wall.html
Trump should never been elected. He is stupid and corrupt. But he lies and people like you buy.
Only 3 miles because Mexico has it on lay-away, making payments & will only continue if dondald the divider is reelected, so if you want the next three miles you know who to vote for trump/Calderon lets get this wall built for America. & I have this used 68 buick skylark in mint condition 7,212 miles, all freeway you really need to take a lot @...
histrionic lies.
