The Donald is Pwning the MSM Right Now, Again, Live Action

[Redfish]

Everyone knows that the media is completely in the tank for the democrats. Even the left knows it even though they won't admit it. Are they asking the Hildabeast any questions about the money she raised? The Clinton Foundation? When they don't get answers are they jumping all over her? Of course not.

And how many times have we seen the
MSM outright lie? Trump is correct and finally someone has the guts to say so.

true, HRC would never have an unscripted news conference where the reporters could ask whatever they wanted. Trump put the lying media assholes in their place.

The checks are in the mail ... you focks! (-: LOL

 

[Flopper]

That is exactly what it's about. Trump supporters don't see America as a great nation. They see our government as a failure that requires radical change. Listen to Trump. The more radical he is, the more support he gets.

$20 trillion dollar debt with nothing to show for it, now THAT'S radical. Lying corrupt politicians who have gamed the elections process and are aided by a lying corrupt press, if cleaning up that mess is 'radical' then I'm radical.

You think Trump is going to reduce the debt. Get serious. He's threatening a trade war with two of our largest trading partners, Mexico and China, massive defense spending, expanded military intervention, a trillion dollar solution to our illegal immigration problem, and a tax plan that would lead to huge deficits.

So we should just let China and Mexico continue to screw us? Jeb is that you?

Trump's claim that China is raping America is simply absurd and the claim must be treated as the nonsense that it is. We have a trade deficit with China because China happens to be producing things that American consumers desire at a far lower price than they can be produced in the US. Yes, there are jobs losses in the US manufacturing but there are offsetting job gains.

The importation of Chinese goods has created whole new industries. If products like the iphone and thousands of high tech products now manufactured in China were built in the US, the cost would be so high, that there would be no market and millions of jobs in the US that depend on them would disappear. If the iphone 6 which sells for about $600 was manufactured in the US, it would cost over $1300. If a $70 pair Nike sneakers were manufactured in the US, it would sell for over $125.

Trump's tirade over China's manipulation of the their currency is just more nonsense. Yes, China does manipulate their currency. What Trump doesn't tell you is it benefits the US by reducing US China trade deficit. Currently the country works very hard to keep the value of the yuan up. It does this by insisting that Chinese citizens may not freely transfer their own personal wealth out of the country. If there was a proper free market in the yuan or renminbi then the standard calculations from the likes of the World Bank are that the value would fall against the U.S. dollar. The actions of the Chinese government thus make exports from China into the U.S. more expensive than they would be, which make U.S. exports to China cheaper than they otherwise would be. Exactly the opposite of what The Donald is claiming. If China stopped manipulating then the trade deficit would widen.

Donald Trump Is Wrong On China--Again

Are you really that naïve? China is raping us on trade because our "leaders" in DC are too stupid to make trade deals that are good for this country. These are the same incompetents that gave us NAFTA. Your cut/paste cite is bullshit.

No matter how many times Trump repeats the same lies, the truth remains. The food of Chinese manufactured goods into the US are not due to stupid leaders in DC nor the currency manipulation. The fact is American's are not willing to pay higher prices for American made goods even if it means some American jobs are being lost.

Well, now that north korea has endorsed Trump:

North Korea says it backs Donald Trump in U.S. election race

his staff may have a hard time choosing whether to use Kim, or David Duke in his campaign ads......

Our potential enemies prefer a strong US president, weaklings like Obama make the world more unstable.

More likely, our enemies prefer a a US president who lacks both foreign policy experience and knowledge and who will be so embroiled in internal political battles and warding off media attacks that he will have little time to deal with foreign affairs.

You are significantly ignorant on this topic. China has dumped product into the US under their cost to produce specifically to destroy the competition in the US and our assholes in government did nothing to stop it.

Trump attacked the press? Oh, noze! what a shocker.

I remember just a couple/few weeks ago people asking if it were possible that Trump would keep getting all of the free coverage that carried him through the primaries on chump change in terms of funding. Most pundits thought not, that his shtick would get old as we headed into the GE. Well, not if he starts setting fire to the media itself it won't.

When he was attacking the pub establishment people were shocked, thinking 'he's digging his own grave' and the opposite was true. A lot of people agree that those guys deserve scorn and instead of sinking him, his populist position helped him.

Same is true here I think. The demise of journalistic integrity has long been something the entire country is bitching about. Attacking the media doesn't hurt him. It's something some (a lot?) of people actually agree with, and it generates continual free publicity.

Trump isn't stupid. He's a blowhard and can be crude. Stupid he is not.

I agree, Trump is certainly not stupid. He's a master at selling himself. He's been doing it for over 50 years. However, once the sale is made and he's president, then he's going to be dealing with congress, heads of state and the media, not voters. Suddenly, Trump the outsider, Mr. anti- establishment becomes the ultimate insider, the face of the establishment. Where as a candidate, his role was to attack the establishment, as president he will be forced to defend it. Every scandal security leak, screw up by his staff, will all fall on his desk. Even policies and programs that he campaigned against, he will have to defend.

The media coverage for a candidate is manna from heaven but for a president it's more often a curse. It's hard to image Trump having a press secretary and living within the bounds of politician correctness which he will have to do as president.

Right! And North Korea, of all places, is DEEPLY concerned with making the world more stable!

Trump's problem is actually worse, and of his own making. He attacked the MSM, and from their view they were simply doing their job. And the day after he was asked "where's the money," it suddenly began arriving at the charities Trump supposedly had identified months before. Maybe he hadn't gotten the pledged money yet, maybe he went off the cuff months ago, and really did need to vet them. Or maybe he just screwed up. Any of those reasons would be acceptable to explain why he didn't send the money, as he said he'd do.

But NNOOOOOOO. He has to go off and call MSM journalists names. He has NO MONEY to run his campaign with. He's dependent upon the media to cover his rallies and talking points. He's going to be scrutinized on every statement from now to November. He's got zero good faith with them. HRC might actually have more, and they really hate her. But she's got money, and can run ads.

You actually believe Hillary is hated by the media?

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

 

[mamooth]

You actually believe Hillary is hated by the media?

Anyone with common sense knows the national media has despised both of the Clintons for over 25 years now. If seeing 25 years of the national media pushing one fake Clinton "scandal" after another hasn't convinced you, what would?

Trump, he's got a problem. Up until recently, he's been bullying conservatives, who consistently knuckle under. But now he's trying to bully normal people, and they're just laughing at him. It's become apparent how the emperor has no clothes. Trump can whine and threaten people, but he's not capable of backing up his threats. If anything, getting attacked by Trump is now seen as a badge of honor.

I am only 26(that is 25 years + 1 for you Democrat retards) and I can tell you why you have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to the Clintons and the media.

Bill Clinton lied under oath and the media defended him with their typical partisan bullshit and now he is the most popular politician in the country. A delusional Hillary whined about a "vast right wing conspiracy" and the media ate that shit up until Bill was found to be a serial liar and a modern day rapist(according to feminist logic).

Contrary to popular opinion, the conservatives are much more normal than those who stand against them.

[EriktheRed]

When our own snark just isn't quite rude enough, there's our old friend, The Rude Pundit:

At his press conference today, Republican presidential nominee and anthropomorphic mold spore Donald Trump went full Rubio. From the very beginning of his appearance at Trump Tower, an ugly ************ of a building, Trump was so ludicrously repetitious and sweaty and barely comprehensible that the Florida senator must have been somewhere, thinking, "Aw, c'mon, where the **** is Chris Christie now?" (Answer: trussed up on a bed in the penthouse, asshole lubed and ready.)

Here is an actual quote from Trump's opening remarks: "I think it will be very exciting. It will add to the excitement in Cleveland and that's good. That's what we want because it's going to be an exciting period of time." That is not edited or elided or anything. This was followed up with, no shit, a moment later with "So that's something to me that's very exciting. And overall, it's just been a very exciting process."

Didn't this human garbage compactor talk about his vocabulary? Can someone implant a fuckin' thesaurus in his brain? Or is he brain-damaged from all spray-tan chemicals?

And that's not even getting to the endless number of times he said that he didn't raise funds for veterans' organizations to get publicity.

I remember just a couple/few weeks ago people asking if it were possible that Trump would keep getting all of the free coverage that carried him through the primaries on chump change in terms of funding. Most pundits thought not, that his shtick would get old as we headed into the GE. Well, not if he starts setting fire to the media itself it won't.

When he was attacking the pub establishment people were shocked, thinking 'he's digging his own grave' and the opposite was true. A lot of people agree that those guys deserve scorn and instead of sinking him, his populist position helped him.

Same is true here I think. The demise of journalistic integrity has long been something the entire country is bitching about. Attacking the media doesn't hurt him. It's something some (a lot?) of people actually agree with, and it generates continual free publicity.

Trump isn't stupid. He's a blowhard and can be crude. Stupid he is not.

I agree, Trump is certainly not stupid. He's a master at selling himself. He's been doing it for over 50 years. However, once the sale is made and he's president, then he's going to be dealing with congress, heads of state and the media, not voters. Suddenly, Trump the outsider, Mr. anti- establishment becomes the ultimate insider, the face of the establishment. Where as a candidate, his role was to attack the establishment, as president he will be forced to defend it. Every scandal security leak, screw up by his staff, will all fall on his desk. Even policies and programs that he campaigned against, he will have to defend.

The media coverage for a candidate is manna from heaven but for a president it's more often a curse. It's hard to image Trump having a press secretary and living within the bounds of politician correctness which he will have to do as president.

Trump's problem is actually worse, and of his own making. He attacked the MSM, and from their view they were simply doing their job. And the day after he was asked "where's the money," it suddenly began arriving at the charities Trump supposedly had identified months before. Maybe he hadn't gotten the pledged money yet, maybe he went off the cuff months ago, and really did need to vet them. Or maybe he just screwed up. Any of those reasons would be acceptable to explain why he didn't send the money, as he said he'd do.

But NNOOOOOOO. He has to go off and call MSM journalists names. He has NO MONEY to run his campaign with. He's dependent upon the media to cover his rallies and talking points. He's going to be scrutinized on every statement from now to November. He's got zero good faith with them. HRC might actually have more, and they really hate her. But she's got money, and can run ads.

As president, it would be interesting to see how Trump would handle the media. As a candidate, he can beg for public sympathy at being unfairly attacked by the media. However, as president, that's not going to fly. Will he just ignore the constant attacks that every president gets or will he attempt to defend himself. It's hard to imagine, Trump being the showman that he is, would disappear into the white house leaving the media to a press secretary.

Fortunately there’ll be no ‘president’ Trump.

Aren't you one of the Einsteins who said there would be no GOP nominee Trump?
