Hey, Media Monicas,

We’re on to you.

[stanne]

Well, i see them as all working for hillary. And for whomever hillary works for. Those people have much to lose with truth getting out

They react like the enemy when we get close to a truth. H fire

That’s all.

[oblomov]

And now for the comedy of seeing Newt Gingrich and other fair-weather friends scramble to be supportive of Trump again.

[Ann Archy]

The press conference was NOT a train wreck! I, for one, thought it was BRILLIANT! I LOVED what Trump said about the DNC SERVER, the Awans, etc!!

[grimalkin]

The left are truly stupid. Next week will be another manufactured outrage and so on...

[SmokingJoe]

You beat me to that. LOL!
Should be 90 % plus. Starting talks on reducing nuclear weapons, reining in Iran’s financing of terrorist groups, strengthening cooperation on combating ISIS, talks on what to do next on Syria etc.
Just wait till Trump has his next political rallies. Republican support for his Putin summit will go even higher.

[SmokingJoe]

70% GOP support for Trump/Putin summit for now(It will go higher), but currently over 80% GOP support for Trump handling of the economy, trade etc and Trump has an overall 90% approval amongst Republicans. I don’t think the Democrats will be winning much of anything in November.

[Pollard]

While 98% of msm and pols disapprove

[Enlightened1]

Remember the Fake Stream News will always lower it by 25 to 30% from the actual number if they want your number low, and vice versa when they want the number to be high.

This means the real number is between 84 to 91%.

I’ll take the median 87.5 or 88% is the real number.

[central_va]

add +10%

[Altura Ct.]

Go Trump!

He is definitely shaking up the status quo

[sergeantdave]

“70% support from Republicans won’t win many contested elections this Nov.”

why would you believe 70%?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep. I turned to Mr. GG2 during an anti Trump tirade on Fox yesterday and said that only the inside the beltway chattering class and a few unhinged swamp politicians were upset about Trumps performance in Helsinki. Or the press conference after. The average American is smart enough to realize there is no reason not to get along with Russia.

[apocalypto]

Me too. I thought Trump did great. And an important consequence is that his actions and the reactions have exposed more “snakes” and have led to a spotlight on CIA/FBI incompetence or worse.

[GOPJ]

They sure polled that fast enough, didn’t they? I guess polling in the midst of their own media meltdown is supposed to produce the most favorable numbers for the propagandists.

Then Slate picked it up and ran with it... Some democrats are catching on to the truth: Washington Deep State hysteria isn't playing that well outside of DC and Hollywood.

[GOPJ]

And low unemployment,

raising wages,

growing economy,

fighting the insanity of Sanctuary Cities...

cutting nutty regulations...

ending ‘trade deals from hell’...

telling deadbeat EU members they have to pay their fair share...

attempting a real reset with Russia...

You're right Joe - - support for Trump and his policies will go higher...

[GOPJ]

Russia backing an agreement with North Korea is more than a twofer... it's absolutely brilliant.

Positive unintended consequences are all over the place... Hats off to Scott Adams ...

[GOPJ]

George Will and the rest of the quislings...

[Starstruck]

When you are negotiating with an a$$hole, you don’t call him an a$$hole. Luckily, Trump is not negotiating with the press.
