President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

They have plenty of practice for all those hearings the next time one of America's embassies are attacked.

 

Main stream media staffing up in order to play the loyal opposition to Trump's presidency:

Today's news that Peter Baker is rejoining the White House beat for The New York Times was a historic one for the newspaper.

With Baker's addition, the Times now has six reporters covering 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the highest number in its 150 year-plus history, Baker told Poynter in an interview Monday.

"When I started covering the White House in 1996 for The (Washington) Post, there were two of us doing it," Baker said. "And the Times had two people doing it. Both papers went up to about four after 9/11, if I remember correctly. And that's what we had under Obama. I can't think of any time in history that The New York Times had six people covering the White House."
...
How does that stack up to other D.C. media outlets? Politico announced on Monday that it will boast a seven-person team covering the White House, the largest in its history. It includes Shane Goldmacher, Annie Karni, Tara Palmeri, Josh Dawsey, Eli Stokols, Darren Samuelsohn and Matt Nussbaum, per a Politico spokesperson. The Washington Post will also expand its White House staff, growing from four to six.

 

How's it feel to be played by Trump, Mittens?

 

The early reviews are in:

 

LOL. The president definitely had his preferred candidate in the Israeli election too.

 

Not sure if you've noticed, but there appears to be some amount of public interest in this president.

 

Why would they? Whose silence is more damaging to our country: that of Dems on this rhetorical salvo or the silence of McConnell et al, who giddily fiddled while a foreign foe messed with our election?
Are Republicans not troubled that they share their political heartthrob with Russia, which is led by a 15-year veteran of the KGB? Do they feel no concern that Russia got the result it wanted?
And do they still have the audacity to imply that theirs is the only party if true American patriots?

 

This is too much. He's the head of the agency he promised to close.

 

This guy must be really economically anxious.

 

Yes, a column by the fashion writer represents the entirety of The Media. Please let us know if the chess columnist or ballet critic weigh in as well.

 

What an awful person to write that note. There a whole lot more awful people in this country than I thought a year ago.

 

Rather than the media conspiracy against Trump that you suggest, perhaps it's because POTUS is a New York guy with Wall Street cronies manning his cabinet. Everywhere.
