Free press doesn't mean lying press. It doesn't mean a press that makes up fake news because they hate the president. The concept of a free press meant that the press was free to call out the president and gov't in general on their behavior. THEIR ACTUAL behavior.
Trump didn't do anything but enforce the immigration law he was given.
Trump's tax cuts gave so many people money back and put so many people to work we're now at record low unemployment levels. Minorities are benefiting the most.
Yea, he's not the most professional acting president we ever had. But I'd rather an unprofessional that puts people to work than a politician that doesn't.
That's it. Could the situation at the border have been handled better? Of course it could but hindsight is always 20/20. Obama's solution after being criticized for separating kids from the parents--which he had been doing because the court said the kids couldn't be held at the detention centers--was to order catch and release--NOTHING THE LAW ALLOWS--for people arriving at the border with kids. No telling how many of those kids were dumped by the traffickers once they were let loose.
The reports from the border security folks say that more than a few of the kids are not related to the traffickers who brought them and many were afraid of the adult who brought them.
The Trump Administration has given people arriving with their kids the option of being separated or going back home. The kids are 'not ripped from the mother's arms' as the left is portraying it.
And the kids are being kept in the very same facilities used in the Obama Administration MINUS the kennel like 'cages' the Obama Administration used in some cases.
The Business Insider is no fan/friend of President Trump or his administration, but they got it right here:
'This is who we are': The US has a history of putting families in cages, and it didn't start with Trump
This for instance is a photo taken in 2014 under the Obama Administration and is being dishonestly used as what is happening under President Trump:
Not to mention that at least 90% of the kids both Obama and Trump are holding and/or have sent to be cared for elsewhere arrived her unaccompanied by any adult. So who is to blame for that? The President? Or the irresponsible parents who sent them across the desert by themselves?
Is the President an angel or model person? Nope. I'm sure there is stuff in his past that is pretty deplorable. That is likely true of most of us who have lived for any time. I can think of a lot of stuff I would really like to have a do over on.
Is the President at times crude, rude, inappropriate? Yes he is. I lost count of his extemporaneous comments and tweets that are really cringeworthy.
But those of us who voted for him was not because we especially admired his character, ethics, or conduct. We voted for a vision of a brighter, freer, more prosperous, more just America that isn't the whipping boy of the world and in which our basic values would not be put down as 'deplorable' or dictated to by "white husbands, boyfriends, sons" or as 'clinging to our guns and religion', etc. etc. etc.
We voted for a vision and a track record of figuring out solutions to problems and fixing things. We voted in the hope he really meant what he said unlike most politicians who promise to do great things for us and then promptly forget about those promises once they are safely in office.
We voted for a chance to break the iron grip of the politically correct, the permanent political class in government and the bureaucracy, and to do things differently and better.
President Trump has not disappointed.
