This week Trump’s battle with the media escalated as he ramped up his “enemy of the state” rhetoric, and his staffers and supporters followed his lead. The United Nations Human Rights office issued a statement condemning Trump’s media attacks, which this week put a CNN reporter in danger at a Trump rally in Tampa, Florida.
As the first trial for Paul Manafort got underway, Trump called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end the Mueller probe. Even as his top national security officials took the unusual step of appearing together and briefing the press on the ongoing Russia cyber threat, and as social media companies and experts revealed ongoing attacks, Trump continued to label the Russian investigation as a hoax, and took no leadership steps to address the threat and protect our country.
As the Senate held hearings on Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy, stories continued to surface about the inhumane treatment of migrants. The Trump regime took the position that the reunification was complete?—?even as hundreds of families remain separated. Kleptocracy, incompetence, and corruption continued to plague the regime, but in the daily chaos, got little attention or coverage.
WAPO reported Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims in his first 558 days. His lies are escalating: now averaging 7.6 false or misleading claims per day, up from 4.9 claims per day in his first 100 days.
> He told some whoppers to his crowd in PA just the other day...
On July 5, Trump reached a new high of 79 false or misleading claims in a single day. June and July 2018 ranked first and second overall, with 532 and 446 claims?—?roughly 16 false or misleading claims per day.
By topic, Trump has told the most lies about: economic issues, trade deals or jobs (1,293), followed by immigration (538), trade (432), the Russia probe (378), and taxes (336).
On Sunday, Trump tweeted about a meeting with NYT publisher A.G. Sulzberger, saying they discussed “the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, ‘Enemy of the People.’”
On Sunday, in a statement, Sulzberger said he accepted Trump’s invitation for a July 20 meeting to raise his concerns about Trump’s “deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric,” saying, “the phrase ‘fake news’ is untrue and harmful.”
Sulzberger said he told Trump “his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous,” warning, “inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.”
Sulzberger said overseas, governments are using Trump’s words as justification to crack down on journalists, and warned that Trump’s attacks were “putting lives at risk” and “undermining” our democratic ideals.
On Sunday, in a series of tweets, Trump said, “I will not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-Trump haters in the dying newspaper industry,” including the “failing” New York Times and Washington Post.
Trump added, “the media-driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome..truly puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk!” and called the media “very unpatriotic!”
On Tuesday, Trump continued his battle with the media, tweeting, “The Fake News Media is going CRAZY,” accusing the media of being “unhinged,” and of ruining the lives of “innocent and decent people.”
Trump also tweeted that in 7 years, when he is out of office, media “ratings will dry up and they will be gone!” Trump continues to target CNN, NBC News, WAPO, and NYT as “fake news” for coverage he deems unfair.
On Tuesday, Trump renewed his government shutdown threat, tweeting, “I don’t care what the political ramifications are,” adding, “Border Security is National Security,” and saying a shutdown “is a very small price to pay.”
On Tuesday, Trump held a rally in Tampa, Florida. Ahead of the rally, Trump supporters crowded around CNN’s Jim Acosta, threateningly, giving him the middle finger, and leading chants of “CNN sucks.”
Trump repeated his a

This is good.
Hopefully this means in the future the MSM will be keeping tabs on every President and all of the lies they tell since nobody has ever done this before.
Maybe we can even start doing it to lesser politicians as well.

"Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!"
Trump joins team Mueller. Becomes witness against his son and others who attended Trump Tower meeting.

He completely threw his son under the bus and admitted, after vehemently denying it, that there was a meeting but since nothing was gained (according to him) from the Russians, well no law was broken.
That's like saying the woman was only half pregnant, or like since the bank robbery failed to get any money....well, then there's no crime. No Donald,
it doesn't work that way. If you shoot at someone but don't kill them, you do get charged with attempted murder.
What a complete moron. No wonder Rudy and friends don't want him sitting
down with Mueller for the interview. Oh, by the way, it's only perjury when
you actually lie. There's no perjury trap if you tell the truth.
And this dumb fuck is our president. How's that working for you guys?

No one has lied to the American public & the world - no one - as often or as poorly, and on a daily basis like this f*cker. It's up to psychologists to unravel how so many Trump supporters can excuse that - lie to themselves - on a daily basis. I can guess, but I can't figure it out for sure.
And then there are his policies and the people he surrounds himself with... one of mankind's great mysteries.

While a radio host in the 1990s, Mike Pence wrote two columns about Bill Clinton's admission of an affair, arguing the president should be held to the highest moral standards, according to new reporting.

Heard about this on "Ring of Fire" last night on YouTube. I remember how the Republicans wanted to string Clinton up and would have called for the same on Obama or worse in the same case.

Oh I'll venture a guess there Captain: It's because trump is the Scumbag, Nazi/KKK fuck puppet of one Vlad "The Impaler" Putin, who has thrown a saddle
onto his back, dug his spurs into his rear end and said "giddiyup!"
"Yes, master" is his reply.
His followers don't give a fuck because they all wanna follow in his hoof prints.
See! simple!

And this limp biscuit is another shit-for-brains low life scum bag who hides behind his wife's skirt.
fucking moron.
(The above has been translated from the French verbatim, so please excuse the
rather colorful description of said limp noodle and all-around degenerate -
we now return you to your regular program).
Imagine the pot calling the kettle black.
Trump's stain is an apt description.....good call!
