Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

So its bad dude did you read the previous posts? For every wrong fact the media has trump has at least 150.

So tell us again why you believe trump when he calls the media fake.

So tell us why you believe trump when he says the media is at war with America???

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”

"I deplore with you the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed, and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them.”

“A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of newspaper lies, serves like head-lands to correct our course. Indeed, my skepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper, makes me indifferent whether I ever see one.”

“From forty years' experience of the wretched guess-work of the newspapers of what is not done in open daylight, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, and almost never worth notice.”

Donald's lie are at a pathological level. Did you know he used to call the media and pretend he was someone who worked for trump. He would give a fake name and would try to mask his voice.

He then would heap praise on to his boss.

How could anyone not see this as pathological.

I am a Republican and although I am technically registered as a Republican I know consider myself independent.

I have been dissatisfied with my old party.

Trump will not be attending the correspondents dinner this year. He is hoping not going will help him forget this night:

Can you imagine winning the presidency after so many political/Hollywood jerkoffs mocked you? Him not attending is actually incredibly consistent with his stance on the corrupt media, though. If he were to attend, he'd be perpetuating the garbage machine.

Dissatisfaction with the Republicans should have NOTHING to do with Donald Trump.

Remember who the media's "evil, hillbilly, gay-hating, women-hating, gun-toting, science-hating, bank-loving, war-monger..." villains from the minute prior to Trump announcing his candidacy? Who was it? Oh- that's right- it was REPUBLICANS.

Trump's Secretary of the Navy nominee withdraws his name from consideration. I am getting tired of all this winning!

this episode once again highlights the incompetency of the trump administration. They publicly offered the job to a nat sec advisor before they knew he would take it. He declined, embarassing Trump.

Now the pres sec guaranteed that the navy candidate was on board. Then the guy dropped out later that day.

the idiots who thought Trump was an effective manager have to be hurting.

But those are the same idiots who write things like "Fox is a network like any other."

So not too smart, are they.

Yes, he withdrew, but there is nothing sinister about it. One day he was on board, the next day he found out what he needed to do to satisfy the government. He chose money over politics. Your raving lunatic comments above are not in line with reality.

Here is what he said:

"I fully support the President's agenda and the Secretary's leadership to modernize and rebuild our Navy and Marine Corps, and I will continue to support their efforts outside of the Department of the Navy," Bilden continued. "However, after an extensive review process, I have determined that I will not be able to satisfy the Office of Government Ethics requirements without undue disruption and materially adverse divestment of my family's private financial interests."

Incompetence was that this wasn't reviewed with him during the vetting process which would have avoided the public embarrassment.

Not the first time this has happened.

This should be at least getting some attention by the media, but it is not. You would think that by now the Washington Post or NYT should have written a story about this.

baddude, did I say it was sinister?

No. I said this was just another example of the Trump admin being incompetent. Which is amusing and wearying because many of your fellow low-IQ types voted for Trump because they somehow thought he was a good manager.

Idiot Trump's approval/disapproval spread is the largest yet.

if only he were a normal person and realized the country is not behind him.

Ah yes, that wonderful context-free quote. Let us elaborate, shall we?

1) "were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." - 1787 BEFORE he became POTUS and subject to criticism by the press

2) "The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure. - 1824, AFTER he was no longer in the public eye and subject to criticism by the press.

3) "Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle . . ." - 1807, While POTUS, subject to press scrutiny and immediately following his outing by the press as having raped his own slave, Sally Hemings.

See any sort of underlying motivation here, Sherlock?

And while we are at it, here are more recent thoughts on the matter by George W Bush.

“I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,” Bush said in a “Today” show interview Monday morning. “We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive, and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.”

“One of the things I spent a lot of time doing was trying to convince a person — like Vladimir Putin, for example — to accept the notion of an independent press. It’s kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press when we’re not willing to have one ourselves,”

Do we really want a radical increase in military spending? More money for nuclear weapons? Balanced by a reduction in services to the everyday person.

I personally want my food examined, I don't want coal waste emptied in streams and rivers, I like clean air to breath, I like public schools supported and I want working conditions to be safe.

But I'm getting more nuclear weapons?

It's an issue with perception and creating their own twisted reality - Trump and the Trumpkins reality involves hordes of radical Muslims at the border and all Americans being independently wealthy.

We out spent China by more than 2 to 1 in 2015 and nearly 10 times as much as Russia. Why spend when there is no need?

He is also floating substantial tax cuts? Starting to feel like 2001 and 2003.

This could be yuuuuge. If only that talking head wasn't making wild, uninformed, assumptions. Need more facts.

He deserved every second of it.

The tender snowflake can't take a little roasting. That's who that is. Will he be playing golf instead?

From what website did you plaigerize from? Provide link please.

Let's think about this rationally. The United States only spends more on its military than then next seven highest-spending countries combined. What if those seven countries and a few more were to unite and declare war against us? We would be totally screwed! There is no such thing as "too much" military spending, mah boy! "Public schools" and "the environment" are for stoned hippies, anyway.
