Watching cable news and raging on Twitter all day is certainly what a competent and capable president should be doing.

Exactly. And during a pandemic, him being "the best ever" and bitching about bad coverage only makes things more complicated. Most Presidents can block it out during a crisis. He comes across as weak when he lashes out at everyone on Twitter. It comes across as the angry teenager who doesn't know how to handle situations and overreacts because they're immature and stupid.


You’re correct, and in a candid moment I’m sure even Trump’s most dedicated dick riders will admit this. I just don’t think they care.

it's amazing how many sheep that cnn and fox gather. people are too stupid to think for themselves.


It's even more amazing what fox has done. They're huge and shitty/misleading, but they say on air every 5 minutes "something something liberal media something something fake news" so their viewers actually believe they're some little guy media outlet fighting the power.

“Most presidents”

Are not attacked from day 1 of their term, both verbally in the news, and criminally by the left.





It's been the norm my entire life. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W Bush, and Obama all were attacked by the opposing party. They all just ignored it and chose not to play victim everyday.

That doesn't say a lot about your ability to please her. Or, it actually says a lot about your inability to please her.

It wasn't. You're taking it that way because you can't accept people criticizing your hero.

People did this with Obama so don't act like such a unique snowflake here.

Anyone that watches any news channel and believes any of it and then goes so far as to form opinions on what they saw on CNN/Fox is a moron.

At least FOX throws in a decent amount of Democrat guests that help balance the arguments slightly. Plus some of their hosts like Wallace/Baier are not Trump worshippers. CNN is 100% Democrats Trump hate gloom and doom nonstop.

Is this where we play obtuse and act like the country was supposed to follow all the federal guidelines except the ones that make trump look bad?

He called for a 15 day shut down then extended the recommendation. I guess it's mere coincidence that everyone shut down around the same time his guidelines came down.

OAN is even worse, but your point stands.

It’s more amazing that no one has tried to copy their model. Why do NBC/ABC/CBS/MSNBC/CNN and all the print newspapers compete for the same audience and let Fox compete solo for the rest?


Good question. OAN like I said has done it, but they aren't available on every outlet. Plus you have smaller stuff like guys like Crowder and all.

The current Press Secretary in the White House is a former CNN commentator.
