We’ll see how it plays out… This is coming from CNN so most people have learned to take what they have to say about your President with a grain of salt.
If what they say is accurate then Trump better start acting less like a business tyrant and more like a Boss wanting to get something done.
I do know that relentless half truths and out right lies that attack the President everyday will have to take a toll on him. But I think that is the plan of news networks like CNN.

A boulder of salt might be more appropriate.

I’d be interested to know what the lies and half-truths are. We know, thanks to Hope Hicks and Sean Spicer, that the administration lies, but what is it about CNN that fits the lies and half-truths accusation? I think it’s Politifact that said the President tells lies or half-truths 5.9 times a day.

I no longer trust “news” from the Clearly Not News network.

For the most part, I don’t.
This is at least one of these penny-ante, um anti-Trump fecal storms every day. It is undoubtedly entertaining to the Trump-haters; the pornography of the left. But it’s otherwise useless.

I am sure that similar events were undoubtedly entertaining to Obama haters as well. Using your criteria for being a Trump hater, just about everybody is a hater of some politician, so we shouldn’t be surprised when those opposed to a politician enjoy the prospect of a scandal.

Why do Trump supporters think it’s only people on the left who oppose him?
Remember, most people in the country didn’t want him to be President, and most people don’t think he’s doing a good job.
But, whatever. If you think that the various facts reported in the CNN story don’t matter, well then, they don’t matter to you.

Seems like “white” lies fall into that useless category.

Obama was portrayed in the best possible light and his failings largely ignored.

Not by the Obama haters. You have to remember, anyone with a mild dislike for Donald is considered a hater. Using that same criterion, most people on these forums would be Obama haters. I would be considered an Obama hater under the criteria used by posters here.

In the media. The media was extremely favorable to Obama. Of course conservative media wasn’t, but the major media outlets skew liberal.

Because, most generally, it’s true.

Contrary to what some on here claim, the treatment of Obama on CAF was pretty gingerly too. Imaginably that was because the mods on the old CAF would oust a person for saying the kinds of things about Obama that people say on here about Trump every day.
But I think it was also the fact that the conservatives are, in general, less totalitarian than leftists.

Actually, there are quite a few people on the right who oppose him as well. If you are a person who believes in the sanctity of life, believes in a smaller government and fiscal responsibility, then there is not much Donald can offer you. I agree that one can argue that he is a lessor evil, but that is pretty weak praise when someone is does not merit praise on their own account.

I don’t recall anyone on these forums being more insulting than Trump himself. Having a sharp tongue is not something that is limited to leftists. I think the bigger problem is that Trump supporters are rather thin skinned and seem to play the victim mentality at every turn.

I realize there is a dwindling number on the right who oppose Trump.
Trump appointed Gorsuch instead of some abortion-lover as the Dems would have done. He reinstated the Mexico City policy. He let the Little Sisters off. Possibly that’s not prolife enough to suit you, but it’s a lot more than “lesser evil”. It’s the only “not evil” going on in American politics.

Many Trump Staffers Are Trying To Leave His Out-Of-Control White House
The White House has had an exceptionally tough month. “Not a fun time to say the least."
www.buzzfeednews.com
"Even for this chaotic administration, the last few weeks have taken a toll on President Donald Trump and his staff. A tragic mass shooting, big-name staff departures, and a series of scandals — all in the growing shadow of the investigation into Russia’s involvement in 2016 election — has left the White House under a dark cloud of low morale and constant frustration.
Many mid- and low-level staffers are anxious to leave and are actively looking for jobs elsewhere, sources close to the White House say. Those staffers saw the surprising resignation of Trump loyalist and communications director Hope Hicks on Wednesday as a sort of tipping point.
A former White House official said he’s spoken with more aides inside the White House who are trying to leave the administration, but not necessarily getting the kinds of high-paying offers in the corporate world as former aides usually do.
“Things are still pretty bleak inside the White House,” the source said. “I’ve talked to several people in the last week trying to find a way out, but they can’t get out because no one is really hiring people with Trump White House experience. Not a fun time to say the least.”
Another source close to the administration said he has also talked to those on the inside about potential job offers. The source said he remembers seeing one particularly fitting pun about Hick’s departure on Thursday: “The White House has lost Hope.” “That about says it all, right?” the source added."
