Boy, the press has nothing.
You read this crap and you just KNOW it’s 100% a lie.
No wonder Trump calls their fake news the enemy of our country.

1. Trump is Crazy
2. Russia!
3. Stormy
4. Trump Is Crazy
5. No one likes Trump
6. Russia!!
7. Some other meaningless bimbo
8. Stormy’s manager!
9. Trump is Crazy!
10. Russia!!!!

Turn the title to be Obama, then

“Privately brooding” becomes ‘deep thinker’;

“Publicly roaring” = ‘energizing the base’

See how that works with these wapo clowns?

Almost word for word the LIES CNN vomited yesterday. Democrat coordinated Propaganda. I wish the President would drop the ‘Enemy of the American people’ line ( it’s been used to death ) and switch over to ‘The Media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party’.

And what makes anyone think the WP knows what is going on with Trump, or would tell us anything pro-Trump if they even knew it.

Just the headline alone told me enough not to read the article. What’s going to be an orgy of fake news that Trump in the bunker has lost his mind. It is all wishful thinking by the DNC-Media that is just part and parcel of every stick they can throw on to break the camel’s back. It’s not going to happen Trump is sui generis, he does not operate like a normal politician, there are no rat lines of political machinery, there are no money lines, he’s not owned by anyone except the American people. They cannot control him and he is breaking up entrenched governmental political industries and money sources for many people. He is destroying traditional power bases that have been exploited for decades. He should double the guard because this kind of revolution breaks a lot of eggs and these deep state eggs are treacherous, so he should be careful.

The venom for this man is out of control, as he himself has no qualms about tap dancing on their buttons.

There is a concern that the Antifa wing of the Left and the Democrat radicals will resort to violence. Real bomb throwing violence, and people will die. When 5 cops were murdered in Dallas, that was Black Lives Matter, yet no accountability. There could be much more because theae groups and the media use psychotic language like “treason”, “holocaust”, “genocide” when speaking of the Trump Administration. Scalise was gunned down by a leftist, spurred on by fake news attacks. Maxine Waters is telling people to physically confront Republicans in the street.

There is a low level civil war taking place. People see the other side as real enemies. The media is lying, and has chosen a side, therefore they cannot claim the mantle of First Amendment purity. Factual arguments are cast aside for raw propaganda, and hate speech. This NY Times editorial member engaged in vicious race hatred, and they excused her, condoning racial hatred as long as it’s their side doing it.

Hard to imagine this happening, but we are through the looking glass. When the ACLU says that there are limits to the First Amendment which they never said before, we then know that we are in a new time. It’s orwellian and the values that brought us here have been dashed on the rocks by the former champions of those values. The solution as always is stick to your guns, and pray.

They call this OBVIOUS opinion-piece 'News'.

What incredible audacity.

What clueless fantasy.

This is why I call them the News Misleadia.

The way the media works is that they put themselves in Trump’s position and think that is reality: you’d brood over mid terms and Meuller and celebrate publicly. That can be the case but with somebody like Trump we don’t really know... so why write an article claiming it to be? Because they want to appear more knowledgeable, more with the inside scoop and, therefore, more trusted.

Trust is the currency everybody is clamoring about for. CNN lost it, MSM lost it. And perhaps it’s good that journalists and media clamor for TRUST. It shows they are doing their job once they earn it.

Sounds like Bezos is trying to sell more Tide Pods to those who love a challenge.

2/3 of the way down an article written as if it’s absolute fact is: “based on interviews with 14 administration officials, presidential friends and outside advisers to the White House, many of whom spoke only on the condition of anonymity”

this makes me laugh, because the new trend for the lefist fake stream enemedia is to keep upping the number of fake sources their fabricated “news” is based on ... initially, it was one or even two, but now they keep upping the number as if that would add credibility to their fabrications ...

I don't see how this can be.

The sHill is reporting that DJT is in a tizzy about Donald Jr.'s legal problems with Mueller.

Just aren't enough hours in a day for all the worring Trumps's got to do.

Maybe the MSM is...fibbin'

I didn’t either. I’m sure it’s pure baloney — the last desperate gasp of the fake news media as it holds on by its fingernails to the last vestiges of its power.

Another day, another totally made up, created out of thin air, piece of anti-Trump garbage from the Bezos Washington Post.

Read this article if you want to see how the Fake News works:

The headline is entirely disconnected from the bulk of the article, which no one will read after seeing that headline on Drudge or across their browser and phone news feeds.

The title is complete b.s., drawn from Trump supposedly complaining about “innocent and decent people,” like his son, getting drawn into a hoax investigation and that he “seethed privately” over the Manifort trial.

The word “brooding” shows up twice — in the headline and the first paragraph. No other mention of “brooding, only the “seething,” which means something completely different — totally fake. And of course the President is seething over the Manifort trial, since Manifort and those that promoted him screwed Trump by hiding Manifort’s past, including an FBI investigation into him a decade prior.

The rest of the article quotes Guiliani and Trump’s speeches and tweets.

So pathetic.

Btw, thanks for the Chron link: I refuse to give a click to the Compost and I appreciate the good reporting/ advising by Chron to support small businesses.
