President Donald Trump was in the East Room of the White House on Friday to trumpet the six-month anniversary of his tax cuts, the singular legislative achievement of his presidency so far.

But as his teleprompter instructed him to rattle off statistics about the tax law, Trump determined it was the time and place for a bigger celebration.

"Our country is doing so well, possibly as well as it's ever done," the President declared. "I don't think it's ever done like this."

As a statement about the country, Trump's remark is debatable. Thousands of immigrant children remain separated from their parents after crossing the southern border illegally. Another mass shooting took the lives of five at a Maryland newspaper. Traditional US alliances appear to be fracturing....

Cognitive dissonance. You know even the dumbest of them think they're smarter than he is, so how is he always two or three steps ahead of them?

At least one of them acknowledges they came in illegally. That’s somewhat refreshing.

A bit of CNN snark:

It took Obama until March 23, 2010 to get Obamacare -- about a year and 2 months.

Trump got the tax cut legislation December 19, 2017 -- about 11 months into his term.

About all Obama could muster after that was Executive Orders, many of which the Courts declared unconstitutional, and many of the others Trump has overridden.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crossing the border illegally makes them illegal aliens, not immigrants.

The Ministry of Propaganda never tells the truth.

That’s funny. The Great Orator couldn’t string two words together without his teleprompter, but I don’t remember any snide comments in the media about what “his teleprompter instructed him to rattle off.”

Little attention or concern has been paid by the Left to the fact that American citizens in custody for breaking the law are also separated from their children, sometimes for many years. But when it happens to illegal aliens it causes major upheavals by the same hypocrites.

The bias is obvious in the choice of words:
“trumpet”
“teleprompter instructed him”
“rattle off”
“debatable”
But this is cnn, the worst of the fake news.

They can no longer take solace in the (group think) notion that Trump is a stupid TV-reality, blowhard clown-idiot. They are all waking up to the fact that he is killing them. this has been the best week since the election!
