  • Trump Told Russians That Firing ‘Nut Job’ Comey Eased Pressure From Investigation

    From nytimes.com

    President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting. “I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.” The conversation, during a May 10 meeting — the day after he fired Mr. Comey — reinforces the notion that Mr. ... (full story)

Wow... unbelievable. Is there anything short of Trump directly admitting to obstruction of justice that will clue people in on what his true motives are?

If you still think Trump has no blame and its all fake news you should stop trading at least, you can`t be objective that is for sure.

Over years since i started trading i told dozens of friends about forex and all that, 2 so far showed promise by making profits, the ones i would consider the best at objective thinking and generally smart people, one is a surgeon one is an astronomer...

If you look at the whole Trump thing, all he did and your answer is Trump is right and did no wrong, you will just waste your money here, this is not some kind of insult, its advice.

Also, just to start you in the right direction, leaks always happen, for everyone. If all you do is legal and fair, no reason to worry you can even stay ahead of the leaks by simply telling the people, transparency.

Its only when you do bad things you don`t want people to see/hear you fear leaks, as obviously they will be bad for you... but sadly for Trump they were all confirmed, got Flynn fired, got investigations started and so on.

The leaks at this point are what is keeping even the hope of Democracy winning over Trump...

Shouldn't impeachment be positive for the US dollar? After all Trump is creating only a mess and impeachment / replacement with a better president should actually stabilize the situation... Am I wrong?

Comey failed in his job as FBI director. He purposely obstructed justice during the clinton email investigation. He was fired for being unethical in his job. There really is no defending Comey.

Right yes but you see they say target demographic. MSNBC actually had the same as Fox on that.

Target demographic is what the advertisers care about, working age people with disposable income, i forgot to mention that.

Its known a lot of old people watch Fox, the same that stayed on when Bill had sexual harassment lawsuits up his ass, audio tapes, multiple witnesses, settled for millions of dollars, etc. Don`t think you can reach those people in any way shape or form, but thankfully they are checking out taking their anti change views with them.

Fox will be the #1 on total viewers until the old one die, then we`ll see if the new generation embraces it, so far its not. MSNBC has been punching well above its weight with Rachel Maddow and that show is mostly about Russia and what conflicts of interest and other things Trump has.

Its basically why the GOP and Trump can`t get much passed with full control of everything, Trump got people scared so they are paying attention and every day they can see all the things he is doing, explained in detail... and its hard to give a good spin to removing healthcare and making it cost more for most people so they are losing support and people call their office to the point where, combined with what Trump is doing, its causing them to split.

You have GOP Governors asking them to keep Obamacare and so on, because they know they will get voted out if the AHCA passes like the House passed it. So as a result the markets are losing faith Trump or the GOP can actually get it done or even if they do, its pointless of they must do political suicide to do it as the next elections the Democrats will reverse it all with support from the people.

Anyway to me its funny as in EU if a politician said lets cut funds to healthcare by so much and have people pay half their wage in premiums they would be pretty much dead politically, funny to see americans defending their right to die without healthcare. My best guess is they have been lied to and expecting something else to happen, if they ever figure it out i think the GOP might have a problem.

The media is basically nothing more than the propaganda wing of the DNC/leftist.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com...-is-very-real/

[…] Trump’s coverage during his first 100 days was negative even by the standards of today’s hyper-critical press. Studies of earlier presidents found nothing comparable to the level of unfavorable coverage afforded Trump.

You have many claims, but your statements sound as if they come straight from *news* sources.

Regarding *target* audience. You can not just lump a bunch of people based on age and assume they all think the same. This is one of the main reasons most advertising has poor return. The average Democrat in the US has much less disposable income as the average conservative. This is why the boycott attempts from the left fail and the support or boycott from conservatives succeed.

Well, what's to favor, there was never a president more chaotic, more naive and more incompetent than DT in American history, even George Bush W looks like a proper president compared to this screwup.

Throw him out, end the pain !

IMHO The Shorenstein /Harvard.. report is reputable research.
Trump IS being slammed with unprecidented NEGATIVE media reaction.
However the report specifically says..

"The fact that Trump has received more negative coverage than his predecessor is hardly surprising," t... "The early days of his presidency have been marked by far more missteps and miss-hits, often self-inflicted, than any presidency in memory, perhaps ever."


The Report disclosed overwhelming NEGATIVE COVERAGE,
You are suggesting BIASED coverage.. I think?
Problem is that Negative does not equal Bias.

Forbes commented on the Report saying Negative was hardly suprising..
"When your company delivers a product that doesn't work, and customers get angry about it, it's not biased for reporters to tell the story--which would clearly be "negative" in tone."... and again..
"That Trump--doing most of the talking himself, or through his surrogates--manages to produce such negative coverage may speak more about the man than it does the media."

Just saying..

I am stopping making fun of Trumpo-the-clown. Obviously the guy is mentally ill and it's just getting cruel now.
