Trump's war with the media began years before he started his campaign. His squabbles with people in the entertainment business and the media goes back well over a decade. His battles over Obama's birth certificate, switching parties, sexist remarks, and other issues followed him into the campaign. Trump decide to take advantage of it by playing the underdog card being attacked by mainstream media. The media accommodated him with more attacks but to be fair you have to admit he has given them plenty of ammunition.In what way would Trump's accomplishments be increased by more positive media coverage?All I can wonder is how much more he would have accomplished so far if he had a media as supportive of him as they were for Barack, and the GOP were half as well together and unified as the Dems are? But I am very confident things will only improve with time, I mean, 100 days ago, he had zero experience at being a politician.
You're kidding, right? The whole point of the media these days is not to bring you the news of events but to set public opinion. That is why the far left has worked hard to control most of it. 99% of the people out there have never met Trump, never been to DC, etc., all they know of the guy is what they read or hear on TV. How do you think some of these wackos like Pelosi or Schumer, Watters and others keep getting reelected in the first place? If the voters, influenced by the media they see did not think they were fighting the good fight, they would elect someone else into office. So now we have a Dem party largely coerced out of the voters by carefully controlled news stories that on Day 1 set out to condemn, dispose and oppose Trump on every matter bar none before they even knew what those matters might be! Though the Dems are now the big losers at every level, their position is basically if you want to get along with us, rather than us working with you, meeting you half way, you have to agree to still come completely to our side and act as though we were still the party in power!!! The GOP may be idiots and incompetents, but they try, while the Dems are completely incapable of changing direction even if it leads them and the nation right off a cliff. That is why Trump won---- he is basically a new, third emerging party put into power by all the people sick of realizing that neither straight party line is doing them any good. We want results, not more empty talk and false promises. And now we have a guy in office who has devoted his whole life to his word being good and getting very successful results.
How could the media ignore his crude, sexist, racist remarks and his outright lies and huge exaggerations.
"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
"You know, it doesn't really matter what they write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
Talking about Megan Kelly Trump said, " "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her... wherever."
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there, and she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything."
In reference to Mexicans, Trump said, "
"They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,"
"I’ve got black accountants at the Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."
"There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations," he told the crowd. "They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down."
How could the media ignore these crude sexist, racist remarks and outright lies.
I guess down deep, Trump's base is just as crude, foulmouthed, and hateful as he is.
