quote:Excellent analysis.
A few months ago, they didn't get it. Now they get it. They are past bargaining stage, but here is the problem they have...
Proggies are used to attacking their enemy and then having that enemy turn the other cheek so they can slap that one too. The problem now is that Trump refuses to turn the other cheek. He actually hits back, unlike the other Republicant's in the past.
They don't know how to handle this at all, thus the increase in violence and the uptick in "fake news".

RUSH: They are not asking him a single thing about anything he spoke of in the first half hour.
THE PRESIDENT: — classified information. They’re giving stuff that was said at an office about Hillary cheating on the debates. Which, by the way, nobody mentions. Nobody mentions that Hillary received the questions to the debates. Can you imagine…? Seriously, can you imagine if I received the questions? It would be the electric chair, okay? “He should be put in the electric chair!” You would even call for the reinstitution of the death penalty, okay? Maybe not you, John. Yes. We’ll do you next, Jim. Yes?
REPORTER: Can you clarify the core point, I think?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. Sure.
REPORTER: Did you direct Mike Flynn to discuss sanctions with the Russian ambassador —
THE PRESIDENT: No, I didn’t.
REPORTER: — prior to your inauguration?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I didn’t.
REPORTER: You fired him because he —
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me. No, I fired him because of what he said to Mike Pence. Very simple. Mike was doing his job. He was calling countries and his counterparts. So it certainly would have been okay with me if he did it. I would have directed him to do it if I thought he wasn’t doing it. I didn’t direct him, but I would have directed him because that’s his job. And it came out that way. And in all fairness, I watched Dr. Charles Krauthammer the other night say, “He was doing his job,” and I agreed with him. And since then I’ve watched many other people say that. No, I didn’t direct him, but I would have directed him if he didn’t do it, okay? Jim?
JIM ACOSTA: Thank you very much, and, just for the record, we don’t hate you. I don’t hate you.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay.
JIM ACOSTA: Uh, so, I’ll pass that along, but I — I — I —
THE PRESIDENT: Ask Jeff Zucker how he got his job, okay?
JIM ACOSTA: (unintelligible) If I — if I may follow up on the questions that have taken place so far here, sir, and —
THE PRESIDENT: Well, not too long, okay?
JIM ACOSTA: (unintelligible)
THE PRESIDENT: You do have other people. You do have other people. Your ratings aren’t as good as some of the other people that are waiting.
JIM ACOSTA: They’re pretty good now, actually, but, uhhh…
THE PRESIDENT: Go ahead, Jim.
JIM ACOSTA: I-if I may ask, sir, uh, you said earlier that, uhhh… Uh, WikiLeaks was revealing information about, uh, the Hillary Clinton campaign, uh, during the election cycle. You welcomed that the one point.
THE PRESIDENT: I was okay with it.
JIM ACOSTA: You said you loved WikiLeaks, and at another campaign press conference you — you called on the Russians to — to, uh, find a missing 30,000 emails. I’m wondering, sir, if you —
THE PRESIDENT: Well, she was actually missing 33 and then that got extended with a whole pile after that.
JIM ACOSTA: Maybe my number was off a little, too, but —
THE PRESIDENT: No, no. But I did say 30, but it was actually higher than that.
Posted on 2/16/17 at 5:43 pm to cajunangelle
JIM ACOSTA: If I may ask you, sir, it — it sounds as though I do not have, uh, much credibility here when it comes to leaking, if that is something that you encouraged —
THE PRESIDENT: Okay. Fair question. Ready?
JIM ACOSTA: — during the campaign, and —
THE PRESIDENT: No, no.
JIM ACOSTA: If I may ask a follow-up —
THE PRESIDENT Let me do one at a time. Do you mind?
JIM ACOSTA: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: All right. So in one case you’re talking about highly classified information. In the other case you’re talking about John Podesta saying bad things about the boss. I will tell you this: If John Podesta said that about me I would have fired him so fast, his head would have spun. He said terrible things about her. But it wasn’t classified information. But in one case you’re talking about classified. Regardless, if you look at the RNC, we had a very strong — at my suggestion, and I give Reince great credit for this.
At my suggestion ’cause I know something about this world, I said, “I want a very strong defensive mechanism.” I don’t want to be hacked! And we did that, and you have seen that they tried to hack us, and they failed. The DNC did not do that, and if they did it, they could not have been hacked but they were hacked and terrible things came in And, you know, the only thing I do think is unfair, some of the things… When I heard some of those things, I picked up the papers the next morning, I said, “Oh, this is gonna be front page.” It wasn’t even in the papers. Again, if I had that happen to me, it would be the biggest story in the history of publishing or the head[lines] of newspapers.
RUSH: I’ve never seen this before; this is great. I’ve never seen this before.
THE PRESIDENT: I would have been the headline in every newspaper. I mean, think of it! They gave her the questions from a debate, and she — and she should have reported herself. Why didn’t Hillary Clinton announce, “I’m sorry, but I have been given the questions to a debate or a town hall, and I feel that it’s inappropriate and I want to turn in CNN for not doing a good job”?
RUSH: (laughing)
JIM ACOSTA: If I may follow up on that, something that Jonathan Karl was asking you about, you said that the leaks are real but the news is fake. I guess I don’t understand. Uh, it seems that there’s a disconnect there. If the information coming from those leaks is real then how can the stories be fake?
THE PRESIDENT: No, the reporting is fake.
JIM ACOSTA: And if I may ask —
THE PRESIDENT: Jim, you know what it is?
JIM ACOSTA: Uh, uh, I just want to ask one more —
THE PRESIDENT: Here’s the thing. The public isn’t… You know, they read newspapers, they see television, they watch. They don’t know if it’s true or false because they’re not involved. I’m involved. I’ve been involved with this stuff all my life. But I’m involved. So I know when you’re telling the truth and when you’re not. I just see many, many untruthful things. And I’ll tell you what else I see: I see tone. You know the word “tone.” The tone is such hatred.
RUSH: (laughing) Yes!
THE PRESIDENT: I’m really not a bad person, by the way. No, but the tone is such… I do get good ratings, you have to admit that.
RUSH: (laughing)
THE PRESIDENT: The tone is such hatred.
RUSH: (laughing)
THE PRESIDENT: I watched this morning a couple of the net. And I have to say, Fox & Friends in the morning, they’re very honorable people. They’re very… Not because they’re good, ’cause they hit me also when I do something wrong. But they have the most honest morning show. It’s all I can say. It’s the most honest. But the tone, Jim. If you look, the hatred, the… I mean, sometimes… Sometimes somebody gets —
JIM ACOSTA: (unintelligible) you, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you look at your show that goes on at ten o’clock in the evening. You just take a look at that show. That is a constant hit. The panel is almost always exclusive anti-Trump. The good news is he doesn’t have good ratings. But the panel is almost exclusive anti-Trump, and the hatred and venom coming from his mouth. The hatred coming from other people on your network. Now, I will say this. I watch it, I see it, I’m amazed by it, and I just think you’d be a lot better off. I honestly do. The public gets it, you know. Look, when I go to rallies, they turn around, they start screaming at CNN. They want to throw their placards at CNN. You know. I think you would do much better by being —
RUSH: Honest.
THE PRESIDENT: — different. But you just take a look. Take a look at some of your shows in the morning, in the evening. If a guest comes out and says something positive about me, it’s brutal. Now, they’ll take this news conference. I’m actually having a very good time, okay? But they’ll take this news conference… Don’t forget, that’s the way I won. Remember I used to give you a news conference every time a made a speech which was every day.

JIM ACOSTA: (unintelligible)
THE PRESIDENT: No, that’s how I won!
RUSH: (laughing)
THE PRESIDENT: I won with news conference and probably speeches. I certainly didn’t win by people listening to you people. That’s for sure. But I’m having a good time.
RUSH: (laughing)
THE PRESIDENT: Tomorrow they will say, “Donald Trump rants and raves at the press!” I’m not ranting and raving. I’m just telling you, y’know, you’re dishonest people.
RUSH: They’ve unleashed a tiger here is what they’ve done.
THE PRESIDENT: But I’m not ranting and raving. I love and I’m having a good time doing it, but tomorrow the headlines are going to be: “Donald Trump rants and raves.” I’m not ranting and raving. Go ahead.
JIM ACOSTA: One more follow-up —
THE PRESIDENT: Should I let him have a little bit more? What do you think, Peter, Peter? Should I let him have a little bit more. Sit down. We’ll get it.
JIM ACOSTA: Just because of the attack of fake news and attacking our network, I just want to ask you, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: I’m changing it from fake news, though.
JIM ACOSTA: Doesn’t that —
THE PRESIDENT: Very fake news. (laughter)
JIM ACOSTA: I know, but aren’t you — (laughter)
THE PRESIDENT: Go ahead.
JIM ACOSTA: Real news, Mr. President, real news.
THE PRESIDENT: And you’re not related to our new —
JIM ACOSTA: I am not related, sir, no. I do like the sound of Secretary Acosta, I must say.
THE PRESIDENT: You know, I looked at that name, I said, “Wait a minute, is there any relation there?”
JIM ACOSTA: I’m sure you checked that out, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: I checked it. They said, “No, sir.” I said, “Do me a favor and go back and check the family tree.” (laughter)
JIM ACOSTA: Aren’t you concerned, sir, that you are undermining the people’s faith in the First Amendment, the freedom of the press, the press in this country when you call stories you don’t like fake news. Why not just say it’s a story I don’t like?
THE PRESIDENT: I do that. No, I do that.

RUSH: While we were gone, Donald Trump just excoriated Hillary Clinton for giving away 20% of the uranium supply and telling the press they never reported it. And he excoriated them for that stupid plastic red button to reset relations with Russia. We’ll now we rejoin the presser as he’s continuing to take these people to school.
THE PRESIDENT: So we’ll be submitting health care sometime in early March, mid-March, and after that we’re gonna come up, and we’re doing very well on tax reform. Yes.
REPORTER: Mr. President, you mentioned Russia. Let’s talk about some serious issues that have come up in the last week that you’ve had to deal with as president of the United States.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay.
REPORTER: You mentioned the vessel, the spy vessel off the coast of the United States.
THE PRESIDENT: Not good.
REPORTER: There was a ballistic missile test that many interpreted as a violation of the agreement between the two countries and a Russian plane buzzed a U.S. destroyer.
THE PRESIDENT: Not good.
REPORTER: I listened to you during the campaign —
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, when did it happen? It happened when, if you were Putin, right now, you would say, “Hey, we’re back to the old games with the United States. There’s no way Trump can ever do a deal with us because the public –” you have to understand, if I was just brutal on Russia right now, just brutal, people would say, you would say, “Oh, isn’t that wonderful.” But I know you well enough. Then you would say, “He was too tough, he shouldn’t have done that.”
REPORTER: I’m just trying to find out your orientation —
THE PRESIDENT: Wait a minute. Excuse me just one second. All of those things you mentioned are very recent, because probably Putin assumes that he’s not gonna be able to make a deal with me because it’s politically not popular for me to make a deal. So Hillary Clinton tries to reset, it failed. They all tried. But I’m different than those people. Go ahead.
REPORTER: How are you interpreting those moves and what do you intend to do about them? (crosstalk) Rex Tillerson any advice or council on how to deal?
THE PRESIDENT: I have. I have and I’m so beautifully represented, I’m so honored that the Senate approved him, he’s gonna be fantastic. Yes, I think that —
REPORTER: Is Putin testing you, do you believe, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don’t think so. I think Putin probably assumes that he can’t make a deal with me anymore because politically it would be unpopular for a politician to make a deal. I can’t believe I’m saying I’m a politician, but I guess that’s what I am now. Because look, it would be much easier for me to be tough on Russia, but then we’re not gonna make a deal. I don’t know that we’re gonna make a deal. I don’t know. We might; we might not. But it would be much easier for me to be so tough, the tougher I am on Russia, the better.
But you know what? I want to do the right thing for the American people

Sure we are. We showed up in the right places to win an election. Voting is the expression of America. We expressed that a different path was necessary. If people can't take the time to vote to voice their opinion then they don't care if their opinion counts.
So NO, those people don't speak for America, we did.

Certainly not a majority of them. As evidenced by Trump's severely upside down approval ratings, and the crowds at his inauguration vs much larger protests.
