Yes, but they're victims!  Victims of a vast left-wing media!  Of affirmative action and immigrants stealing their jobs.  Now Heil Trump is finally going to have their backs.

Funny how these knuckle draggers love throwing around phrases like snowflake, triggered... yet they're the biggest bunch of whiny victims I ever saw.

Trumplethinskin is snowflake in chief.

I get a kick out of this "Winter White House" thing. Must drive the ranks of the CIA and Secret Service nuts. Sitting around chatting with unauthorized people, no knowledge whether the place could be bugged, talking about North Korea and other important security issues. Wow!

Trump was a no-name reality show hollywood type that was given months and months of free coverage. Trump has to be accountable once in 4 years, the press has to be accountable nightly. This is not about some guy in his basement with a readership of 3 and a mommy to support him, this is about the main stream press that must make payroll every two weeks and if they are not accountable then their financial supporters (advertisers) will walk away.

Trump's party is accountable every two years and he knows if he rocks the boot too much it's he bye House and senate. 

The mainstream should probably find a new strategy of reporting the news as their ratings are dropping and more people believe trump than the press.  I don't think their shareholders would like that.

Trump has trolled the press for over 30 yrs and they keep taking the bait.

The press should wait until a real quantifiable scandal comes about, unfortunately since they keep crying wolf, he may be able to squeeze one through which would not be good for anybody.

Saturday Night Live is doing their best ratings in decades thanks to Trump. I'm sure the news media are taking note.

The Obama presidency was extremely beneficial to Fox News, and I fully expect the Trump presidency will be the same for CNN.  People don't want to watch news media shill for the president. They know that when Trump takes a ****, Fox News and Breitpravda are going to call it ice-cream. That's not what people watch the news for.  The press is a check on the power of government. They know that Fox and Breitpravda aren't going to provide that check.  CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post are doing gold star work.

It's hilarious... Trump and many conservatives criticized Obama for going golfing too often. Trump goes golfing at his private club every weekend. Conservative reaction: *crickets*

Many conservatives criticized Obama for spending too much taxpayer money on his vacations. Obama's travel cost the US taxpayer on average $12 million per year-- just under $100 million during his 8 years as president.  Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago have cost the US taxpayer $11 million over the past 3 WEEKS.  Conservative reaction: *crickets*

It's costing approximately $300,000 per DAY that Melania Trump and Barron Trump live in Trump Tower.  The security cost of having separate residences for Mr Trump and Mrs Trump will come to over $30 million by the time Barron's school year is up.  Conservative reaction: *crickets*

Republicans were all over this stuff when Obama was in charge. Now? They have nothing to say.  Hypocrites.  SAD! LOW ENERGY!  PATHETIC!

Also, what's with calling his golf club the "Winter White House"?  Does he think he's Tsar Nicholas or something?

It was actually deemed "the winter white house" by the heiress to the post cereal fortune who donated it to the government to fulfill what the title referred to. However it was given back to her and then put up for sale. Trump's first low bid offer was turned down but was later accepted because he was able to slither into the beach property in front of the place and threatened to put up condos to destroy the view. But his use of it will as you say cost a shitload on extra security. You'll probably see Putin at the table there before long.

Anyway on a humorous note, let me tell ya a really really old pilot joke that might just be applicable to the current US government situation. Pardon me if you already know it.

So the captain comes on the intercom and says "ladies and gentlemen I have good news and bad news. The good news is we are making really good time today. The bad news is, we are lost"

I remember in 08 CNN wanted to brand themselves as no bias nO bull and that somehow disappeared.  I wouldn't say cnn's ratings will benefit as will msnbc's but only by so much as the mainstream media as a whole is dying a slow death due to multiple online sources like vox, daily wire, etc.

Fox News is still doing good shilling for trump.  The press is a check on government but they keep crying wolf which is making them look biased and feeding trumps narrative.

I'm wondering what the ratings would have been if McCain won due to Tina fay doing a good palin like Alec Baldwin does trump (which is hilarious)

CNN is a news media, SNL is an entertainment/comedy media. They do tend to mesh and overlap, but you must keep them separate in your mind. Trump's foibles do tend to create a scenario where it sometimes is hard to keep them straight.

He will have to if he doesn't want to repeat the obama experience.  As we have seen executive orders don't have much staying power.  Bill Clinton was wise to get along with congress.

Executive orders must be legal and respective of the constitution if they are to have staying power. Do you think Trump wouldn't want to repeat Obama's success's.

Trump is repealing obamas executive orders.  Not very successful when the next president can rip them up.  There's a reason I'll Clinton got along with congress and why obama suggested to get things done through congress.

I see Trump is now making up stories about terrorist attacks that didn't happen, apparently to bolster his immigration ban. The last terrorist attack in Sweden wasn't last Friday night, it was in 2010 when a local blew only himself up with his bomb. So for those who like to try and blame what they call "fake news" that hurts Trump, maybe he should stop making up actual fake news.
