Trump: Media 'refuses to talk about how big and how strong' base is

Source: The Hill



BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 12/24/17 08:59 AM EST

President Trump tore into the news media in a tweet on Sunday, saying the press has not covered the success of his administration and the strength of his political base.




Trump's comments come after he signed a sweeping tax reform plan on Friday, marking his administration's first legislative victory.

Numerous polls have shown the plan, which would overhaul the U.S. tax code, to be deeply unpopular among the U.S. public.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll last week found that 63 percent of Americans said the bill would benefit the wealthy and corporations, while a CNN poll last week showed 55 percent were opposed to the tax-reform plan.

He saw what happened in VA and even AL plus, he knows those polls showing how unpopular he and his tax cut for the rich are reflect reality.

the other part of hour fucked base are millionaire and billionaire who would turn on a dime against you. They have no loyalty for you or any one else except for the "mean green".

Majority of the USA citizens don't like you, your family, your base, RWers and the GOPs.

And now that the tax bill has been signed even his big strong base will have no problem kicking his sorry **s to the curb.

I don't want to see that, I want him front and center when their economy comes crashing down around their ears.

And it will!

My old car was getting to the point that it was not worth keeping repairing. Brought a newer car and when we got the loan at the credit union the guy told my hubby they are raising the rates next year so it was a good time.

He knows the election was bought because he was part off the conspiracy, there's no way everyone else on the campaign was in on it and he wasn't. Yet, he's so damn insecure he puts out these lies because he can't stand the truth. Just like he pays people to go to his campaign stops because otherwise it would look too pathetic, then says everyone lies about the huge crowd size. He definitely intends to have the vote majorly suppressed in 2018 and russia to steal the election for his party. He has all these long talks with Putin, so he's already been told what to do to destroy us all the way, step by step he errodes everything good and implements more hate and greed and fraud - it's what he wants and who he is personally.

himself with a bunch of nitwits that are forced to lie to him to keep their jobs. I don't believe they tell him anything that doesn't stroke his ego and he believes them. They are making the fool look even more foolish. It's embarrassing to the country.

like you would do with a toddler on a special occasion when you don’t want a tantrum. Just keep telling him “good job.”
