Watch the video before commenting on any media lies and interpretations of what Trump said. We owe it to ourselves and Trump to do at least that.
I've read so many comments here where people actually believed what the media said Trump said. It's pretty sad those commenters don't take the time to vet the media's lies and misinterpretations.
I’ll wait for the actions before judging them. Trump has played Schumer and Pelosi before - there’s no reason to get upset until there’s something to be upset about.
“It’s pretty sad those commenters don’t take the time to vet the media’s lies”
It’s the same group that used to tell us that Hillary was going to win the election.
Some referred to them as the Cruzbots. I just know them as the left’s useful idiots.
CNN carried the whole thing live.
I think that’s the source of most of the comments - not the subsequent reportage.
He attacked the NRA and flatly rejected national reciprocity. The only people he’s playing right now are blindly loyal freepers.
It’s amazing people here are swallowing what the media said Trump said without taking even a few minutes to verify if it’s true. That’s really pathetic.
I NEVER believe anything in the media anymore. I ALWAYS verify with primary sources, in this case it’s so easy. The White House has a youtube channel, all the press briefings and meetings are posted. There is no excuse for anyone here on FR becoming lazy tools of the media elitists by not verifying with primary sources.
Go to the HW youtube channel or other primary source and verify!!!!
I watched this live. Here is what Trump said:
“I hat this job but don’t want to resign. The quickest way out is to alienate my base, tank the mid-terms and get impeached. Hey, if the “no new taxes” pledge blew up on Bush, just think what this will do for me.”
Isn’t this what Mitch McConnell wanted to do a few years ago, but Ted Cruz stopped it?
All three statements from your post are false.
hat=hate.
“He attacked the NRA and flatly rejected national reciprocity. The only people he’s playing right now are blindly loyal freepers.”
OK watch the video and prove yourself wrong. Because what you posted are FLAT OUT LIES!
If you think they aren’t post the timestamps so we all can watch exactly what Trump said in context.
Here’s yesterdays live thread - lots of us saw and heard it live.

Same comments.
““I hat this job but don’t want to resign. The quickest way out is to alienate my base, tank the mid-terms and get impeached. Hey, if the “no new taxes” pledge blew up on Bush, just think what this will do for me.””
Post the time stamps so we can verify if your interpretation is accurate.
Clue - it isn’t.
Here’s a post from that thread;
“Yeah, I am. Is he selling us out? He just said that Dianne Feinstein’s proposals and Amy Klobuchar’s proposals should be included in any bill!
WTF?”
That is NOT what he said. He said Dianne Feinstein’s proposals and Amy Klobuchar’s proposals “should be talked about/discussed”. Trump knows what will happen.
The post is a lie. It’s amazing people here on FR can watch a video and like the media lie and misinterpret. It’s actually stunning to me.
I wasn’t on the live thread, this thread is about all the media lies about what Trump said and the gullible loser comments here about them. I simply can’t believe how many people here will cobb on to a media lie and run with it.
I watched the whole thing later on the WH youtube channel. It all made sense to me, it usually does in proper context where you can go back and re watch any part. I watch nearly every presser and Trump event in the WH youtube channel. That’s a way to cut through the lies and misinterpretations all over the media and even here on FR.
Right - but the point is - those comments are from people watching the live event.
Not reactions to subsequent reporting...and not because they are “pawns of the elitist media.”
Agreed.
I only watched it live.
Since I did. I had no reason to read an article.
I think a lot of the comments are from folks who watched it live.
If you have issue with media - post linkage and critique.
I think you’re seeing real, visceral reactions.
Did he or did he not say that the GOP Congressmen were “afraid of the NRA” Yes or No?
im sorry...but hes cutting his own throat. Hes got to stop doing these photo op meetings...trying to “be good on television”....I thank god he won...hes the only one that could have beat Clinton, but, and i hate to say this, he says whatever the hell talking point that comes into his head. Those weird kids and the media have been attacking the NRA non stop the last 2 weeks...and Trump did exactly that yesterday. And the incredible “due process” remark defies belief. He did the same thing with the “immigration” listening thing a few months back ...kept throwing around the term “comprehensive reform”..when he clearly didnt know what the hell that meant..Kevin Macarthy finally jumped in and bailed him out...of course, none of what he said yesterday will go anywhere in this Congress...but if he doesnt clean this up today and soon, he’ll be in the 20’s next week approval wise. He loses his base..hes toast. From what ive seen here,hes doing just that....THIS SHOOTING WAS A LAW ENFORCEMENT FAILURE on every count. The laws are there..lazy cops didnt do their jobs. What worries me most..imagine if the Dems sweep both Houses in November..theyll either impeach him for sure or he’ll just go along with them. This kills me to say this stuff, but at times he just sounds clueless to what hes even saying..very unsettling...
