    I would argue that he actually became president because he wasn't smart. It was constantly cited that his poor ability with words was one of the reasons his supporters supported him. "He tells it like it is!"

    Pulling out of TPP is a short term feel good, medium term geopolitical disaster for the United States.

    We'll recover because TPP will return, under a new name, in a different form. Because it's an idea's whose time has come.

    Sure, if you want to use the dictionary definition and not the political one. Which is going to give conservatives some heartburn when they have to apply it to liberal and progressive.

    There's also some bills of no real consequence signed. He also held a few meetings that didn't result in a controversy. Gave some speeches that could be considered positive.

    I mean, I get the dislike people have for Trump but it's not a real stretch to think of things he's done that would generate 7% of decent coverage.

    Trump does a terrible job in his first 120 days, news stations cover it, Trumpkins are triggered by their coverage. News at 11.

    10% is a pretty low bar but the reason I bring it up is that I don't remember seeing a positive piece on Trump from either of those organizations.
    The op left out the entire information because it did not fit his narrative but even Fox News is struggling to give Trump positive headlines.

    Because about 93% of the stuff he's done has been negative.

    "Unbiased" is altrightspeak for "Not critizizing trump too much".

    So.. it fits, at some deep, deep worrying level of illusion.

    Jesus christ...seriously? What should they do instead? Lie and be positive? As terrible a president as Trump is his election and subsequent time spent in office has put a huge spotlight on how truly ignorant many people in this country are. At worst Trump will be gone in 8 years but we are stuck with the idiots who put him in office for decades and god only knows who they will decide to put in office next.

    "Yesterday it was reported that the president casually 'declassified' highly classified information to Russian officials during his meeting with them, intelligence that was shared with the US by an ally as part of an intelligence sharing agreement. Isn't it wonderful that we have a president so eager to work with our enemies that he's willing to trust them enough to give them such sensitive information that's not even his to share?!"

    Yes, all news that isn't Fox News is shit or is a joke, with Fox News being the only glimmer of hope... yet, it's everyone else that is indoctrinated...
