President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

And on it goes, day after day, a thickening fog of diversion and obfuscation, taking public attention away from the FBI’s investigation into possible treason by Trump and his aides, and focusing it instead on a thickening smog of other controversies.

Trump knows that reporters need stories, and he is only happy to oblige. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous or baseless they might be. The more they obscure the big story, the more useful they are.

Trump figures that at some point the murk will seem too complicated and too partisan.

By then, even if the FBI and other intelligence agencies find that Trump or his advisers colluded with Russian operatives to win the election for him, it won’t much matter. Trump and his surrogates will have created an impenetrable fog of claims and counterclaims, plots and subplots, unproven allegations and lies.

The public will have become lost and confused in the fog — exhausted, confounded, cynical. Facts and findings will vanish. It will all come to seem like politics at its worst.

Could Trump get away with it? Possibly.

Trump cranks up fog machine to confuse American public

 

Anything with one source is a question mark from the start. Even that guy says he has to sift through a lot of misinformation.

 

What do we do next, YF?

 

When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

 

Hmm. Pondering an option that has not been considered until now.

 

We've been over this time and time again.

We don't know who the source is, or what was said and how it was said between the source and the reporter.

All we have the media outlet's reputation to determine if this was properly sourced.

Reuters is, by and large, a respected outlet. That this particular report turned out to be right strengthens that reputation. It doesn't weaken it.

 

C'mon, @YankeeFan . Answer the question. What's next, smart guy? Can't find the answer on Twitter, buddy.

 

Eh? We don't know who the source is, but the media outlet's reputation should make up our mind for us?

I realize Twitter and "because PRESIDENT TRUMP" have eroded some standards, but unless the choice was have nothing or go with the Reuters article at the end of the cycle (whatever that is these days), I'd wait for some confirmation.

 

Well why is that?the living constitutionalists have turned them into the most powerful people in th.e country.

 

When would have been a good time to put trump in office?

 

The report was right.

 

The Era of Good Feelings?
