Current Events > Any news that paints a bad picture of Trump, he calls "fake news".

(+) Yeah! (+)

And its very sad to see so many people siding with him when it comes to this nonsense.

This country is super-polarized and Trump knows this and is capitalizing on it by using this type of language.

To his base, proof of this "fake news" is not even needed nor will it ever be needed. He understands that they're so mentally sided with him that it doesn't matter what the truth is to them anymore.

Only trust the state news. Everything else is a lie! /s

It's how he won the election after all. He's been encouraged to be a lying, rambling asshole because republicans promoted him and the fool doesn't know the difference between campaigning and legislation. He's just trying to placate the people who put him in the job to begin with.
---

Yeah. Well as long as he doesn't try to control the news I'm fine. However I do fear he might try that.
---

And anything he does that is good or just mundane is lambasted as evil. He is a horrible president but its a two way street of horrible people as well.

I agree but he's not aware that tensions are rising the long and the more polarized this country remains.
When a country is this divided it becomes very difficult for a country to progress as its citizens are too busy fighting among themselves.

I don't know what reality you're living in but Trump is probably the worst president America has ever had and I this is not being said as an insult but a fact. A sad fact that Americans need to wake up to.

He is indeed horrible, but he is not the anti-Christ. People forget that the president does not have all the power. The fake news narrative is overplayed by Trump on his side, but it is not an entirely false narrative.

Trump appeals to the lowest aspect of people. Hate, intolerance and dishonesty.

He capitalizes on this and the fact that his base is terribly uneducated and easy to manipulate by speaking in euphemisms and polarizing language.

You do not comprehend the magnitude and influence he has as a presidential public figure. A lot of Americans don't understand this but they do know that they feel embarrassed to see him in the white house because he represents the toxicity that is in certain areas of our country.

it's ironic that you can't accept what was said. there's a reason people side with him; and it's because of these situations, where people say it's a two way street, but any democrat will insist it isn't and continue to lambast trump.

you are the reason people so "blindly follow trump" and you don't even realize you're causing it because you refuse to look at any viewpoint that doesn't align with whatever you feel should happen.

it's even worse when i re-read what was quoted and can see that both posters agree trump is an idiot, but one thinks there is no possibility that trump does anything good or mundane -- and these people have the audacity to claim that the people who follow trump are brainwashed, lmao.

The "fake news" accusations are actually effective because the mainstream media is so horrendous and biased in their coverage of him that he actually has a fair claim to an agenda.

The coverage of Trump has been historically negative -- far in excess of public disapproval ratings of him:
https://www.npr.org/2017/10/02/555092743/study-news-coverage-of-trump-more-negative-than-for-other-presidents

It's even been more negative than it was of George W. Bush, who started a war with the wrong country, destroyed the U.S. economy, and got the American military entangled in a multi-trillion dollar quagmire in the Middle East.

From a policy perspective, Trump has been fairly center-right. The negative backlash to him is solely because he hurts people's feelings and humiliated the media during the election cycle.

This was a mistake in coverage of Bush (who at this point in his presidency had approval ratings in the 70s), moreso than a mistake in coverage of Trump, IMO. The media's uncritical approach to Bush enabled him in building the case for Iraq.

you are the brainwashed one; step back for a moment and see how you blindly defend the hate against trump, you assume the man can do no good with no basis to assume so.

likewise, all of that is my viewpoint, i didn't list any "facts" so once again you attempt to deflect everything by assuming a position upon your high horse where what i've said is somehow my own facts, when i simply pointed out how you are the one who's brainwashed and causing people to rally for trump, and you don't even realize it.

Does this jibberish sound like an intelligent point to you?

You can still create a completely biased perception using news that is totally factual if you only choose to publish news that aligns with that position. This is the case with Trump. And that has nothing to do with my "world view," it has to do with the "facts" about the media's coverage rate.

Wow. Two people brought up good points, but you refuse to listen and insist on calling them ignorant. Solid job. Keep being an idiot.

keep browsing, this is the pattern of every democrat/liberal/progressive who hates trump. they don't even have a reason to hate him, they cite his fanbase as the problem, and unknowingly keep causing people to realize just how bias they are and so they end up getting more people on trumps side without realizing it.

so you're telling me i'm misinformed or not well informed on exactly what? not once have I ever said something positive about trump; i have simply mentioned how you view him in your bias.

you want to create an argument here, but you don't even realize that i'm not defending trump, i'm defending the fact that people are incredibly bias against him to the point everything he does is evil; like I quoted earlier. you seem to be either too ignorant to accept that you yourself have a huge bias against him, or you are too stupid to understand what i've been saying.

in conclusion you're either blissfully ignorant of what's going on around you, or woefully stupid. and with either of those being correct, you still fail to realize that your flawed logic only makes trump resonate with more people.

You're not living among Americans, speaking to them on a daily basis and hearing their varying points of views, what politically sticks and doesn't stick. In essence, you don't know what you're talking about.

Whatever side of the fence you sit on, if you can't recognise that Trump is incompetent based on what he actually does then you are deluded.

He post ridiculous tweets that make no sense or incite division and chaos. The White House is a revolving door for a reason, no one can work with the man, even people that he chose and have the same views as him do not last long. Why? Because he is incompetent and has no idea what he is doing.

He also lies constantly, how can you trust someone like that?
---

While not good in a general sense, I'm not sure Trump could have asked for anything better.

Being able to instantly discredit any and all opposition to yourself, and ruin the reputation of any media/person that does speak ill of you? Trump couldn't have asked for a better boon.
---

You'd have to be naive and literally ignoring the blatant doctored videos that CNN, NBC, etc, etc have produced within the last 8 years to also think the MSM hasn't exactly been honest with what they report, either.

Tell me: Why was the Trump feeding the fish video doctored?
