Did you miss the "legitimate" part. You guys misread posts constantly. Of course the press is free and Trump can do nothing about that. His only recourse is to delegitimize the press which he is obviously going to all extremes to do. Do you give any thought whatsoever to double checking your comprehension before attempting to call out another poster?

Edit: I forgot to add the obligatory....Geeze Louise...

You never answered my question last night. How do you believe Trump is delegitimizing the media?

I thought it was rhetorical. I don't know, maybe by saying it's fake over and over, by saying they lie and are against him and only cover things that make him look bad and cover nothing that makes him look good. By saying they didn't cover major terror attacks because it didn't fit their agenda (which was a complete and utter lie) By saying they intentionally misreported the inaugural attendance numbers solely to make him look bad (a complete and utter lie) Watch his pep rally from yesterday and then tell me you really have to ask that question. The much bigger and more important question is this. "Why does he consider it so important to delegitimize the msm?" The answer to that question is significant.

I am just trying to get a good idea of where the outrage lies and the perceptions of those who these views.

I'm sure you have formulated your opinion on the question you have asked. Go on. Share.

I think there are only a couple of possible explanations. I think the most obvious conclusion, which both explanations are based on, is that he will do things that an informed society would be against. I would think that everyone would question his motives, if for no other reason just sheer curiosity.

Here is the way that I look at it, Luther. Washington D.C. is like a big country club in Alabama, full of white folks in 1960. Trump is the big black man trying to crash the party, and join the club. He wants to change the way things have always been done.

It's even worse than that. Trump is the big black man elected by a bunch of ignorant rubes in the sticks, to run the country club full of white folks. They don't like him, because he isn't one of them, and he was put in by people that they are beneath the members, people that they wouldn't associate with.

The Media are also part of that country club. The Media protect the members of the country club by brushing the racism in the club under the rug. They don't point it out to the masses because they have sources that they need, in certain members of the club.

The reporters butter certain members up in order to get stories that will make the reporters look like they are good at their jobs. They are in a co-dependent relationship, and Trump is the big black man who came along to f*** all that up for them.

At least I now know that there are more than one of us that understand what is really going on in this country.

So under this logic, are we implying that Jerry Jones, Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, or any other billionaire who knows how to run a business is more qualified to be the POTUS than Obama was? Personally I don't consider running a business to be the same as running a government.

BHO didn't run anything prior to getting to Washington PerV..... he was in the Illinois state senate and then served a term as US senator.

This is ridiculous. Trump has never held a public office in his life, to say he is more qualified than any president in recent memory is ridiculous. Being rich doesn't make you qualified to be president. Donald is just as qualified as Jerry Jones in regards to being POTUS.

Who said anything about Trump being more qualified than any president in recent memory? I specifically said BHO.

"Imagine" if the snowflake media went after Melania for plagiarizing the Lord's Prayer in Melbourne yesterday. Would NOT surprise me at all.

Did you miss the part where you claimed we are joining countries "where the gov't controls the truth"...?

I'm saying this for your own good. Stop the out and out fear-mongering or folks here will begin ignoring your posts without even reading them.

He's hasn't hidden anything that he has done in office thus far. He seems rather proud of his actions and puts them up for all to see. What is this future agenda he has that he will soon be hiding from the people?

Just as Obama supporters cast their hopes and dreams on the blank canvas Obama put out there for them, these same people cast their deepest fears on the Trump presidency.

I am still a skeptic when it comes to Trump. I doubt he has a conservative foundation which makes me think he will veer off in a direction I don't like.

So far, I'd give his bias for action an A+, his execution a B, and his demeanor a D-. He can improve the second. I doubt the third changes much. At the end of the day, history will judge him on the first and second.

Whatever Bannon tells him, let your imagination run wild. Bannon is evidently the one pushing so hard to continue the assault on the msm; against the wishes of many others in Trump's circle. We see who Trump is listening to.

Got it. So to sum it up, you've gotten all wee wee'd up over speculation.

Speculation that sounds eerily familiar to the Cheney demonization during the Bush years. You remember that Bush was the dunce who played evil Dick's puppet.

Do you guys ever refresh your playbook?
