“Is President Trump a Patriot?”
No.
Trump’s attacks on the rule of law, our democratic institutions, and a free press are not the acts of a patriot.
The press has not been free in a long time, they are controlled by liberals that hate this country and want to turn it into a socialist paradise. Most of our Democratic institutions have been corrupted by obama and his cronies. The FBI and Justice Department have been corrupted by the deep state swamp rats and no longer follow the rule of law. Trump attacks what is corrupt and it makeing the deep state panic. Our government needs a good housecleaning and Trump is our Mr Clean God Bless Mr Trump. Trump is putting himself and family through a shitstorm he could have avoided by not running for President. He is already wealthy and could have just relax and play golf for the rest of his life but being a Patriot he had to do what is necessary to save our country the socialist agenda obama and hillary were trying to impose. Patriots do what Patriots gotta do.
All media is owned by conservative people.
Who owns America?
America, an aquarium made and maintained by special narrow interests.
So you think you live in freedom and democracy... Who keeps repeating that mantra?
Don't be suckered in by such talk as the media being liberal.
Who owns the media?
Who owns CNN? or MSNBC? ABC?
So ya think we have a "free press" eh? Check out who owns who, and WHO owns WHAT you THINK...

In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly.
In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies.
He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies.
This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six.
Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation.
In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly, shows that ONLY 5 HUGE CORPORATIONS -- TIME WARNER, DISNEY, Murdoch's NEWS CORPORATION, BERTELSMANN of Germany, and VIACOM (formerly CBS) -- now CONTROL MOST of the MEDIA INDUSTRY in the U.S. GENERAL ELECTRIC'S NBC is a close sixth.
The MEDIA AQUARIUM is now OWNED by a very close knit circle to SUBTLY shape public opinion without the public knowing that it's happening. It's all orchestrated to throw wool in the minds of the aquarium population... to make it look 'freedom' and 'democracy' are at it's best in America... with many colorful characters parading in the circus for making this grand illusion... of freedom and democracy possible
