Why Media hates TRUMP (?)
May 20^th, 2017 at 7:55pm

Right from the start the Media (and its 'holier than thou' Celebrities) got stuck into Trump, before and after he got elected.
Of course, Murdoch Inc wanted H.Clinton as President and did what they could to make that happen. Just like Murdoch put Thatcher in as PM of the UK.

But TRUMP is something 'new' in Politics.
He is a Politician that looks to the future as a greatness and not fall back on the same old stuff - just to play it safe (like Bernie Sanders would have).

Maybe the Media/Celebrities hate TRUMP because he doesn't tow the line to their 'whims'?
Maybe because in A LOT of movies - the 'Red-haired' (Ranga) male has always been a 'negative' character: villan, nerd, douchbag, weirdo, etc?
...much like the Blonde-Males have been type-casted as villans, Gays, evil, Nazi's, etc (oh, except Flash Gordon - but hey, that movie was as Kamp-as!)
So maybe TRUMP isn't playing to THEIR SCRIPT? Huh

I like TRUMP - its an acquired taste with his tactless and somewhat 'honest' opinions. He's growing on me.

The Media, somewhat subdued of late - still try to chip away though, for something - anything? They try to make him out like NIXON - but TRUMP is nothing like NIXON, who was full of corruption and obvious no-good.

To me, TRUMP is like that Hobbit movie character DAIN IRONFOOT. He's got a **** of a job to do and he's gonna do it. If it means crushing some eggshells along the way...

So when China/N.Korea soon (and they will) cut loose, like ORCS out of holes in the ground. Better hope TRUMP is still in office.
Btw - the LOTR (later Hobbit) movies were nearly never made because the USA (Hollywood) couldn't cope with the idea of two main heroes/good guys being 'Blonde & Red-haired', let alone the movie not having a 'Token Black Man' in it. It seemed to 'non-politically-correct' Roll Eyes

As you can see with the latest KING ARTHUR movie - there really was a 'token-black-male' in 'historical England' way back then ...nothing like corrupting other nation's pasts Huh

Anyway. I wish TRUMP all the best and can you imagine what would happen if a 'real white' guy with Blonde hair and blue eyes ran for President Shocked

...the Middle-East might actually improve (eh Lawrence Wink

)

As Dennis Quaid said in The Right Stuff "...if you poke the pooch." maybe that's why the token Black Man had to put his hands in the air as he came crashing down in the movie PROMETHEUS.

Ahh movies ...and Presidents who follow Politics and not 'scripts'.

BTW...

The Media loved Pope John Paul II - as he smiled and waved to the cameras. The Media called him the 'People's Pope'. He was soooo nice that he turned a blind eye to all the SPIDERS building nests in the Church.
Much like the Cronulla boss played 'nice' for the cameras and turned a blind eye to all the shenanigans and corruption until Cronulla nearly went under.

Then along came Pope Benedict.
The Media hated him from the start and called him the NAZI-Pope. The Media's dislike of the Pope continued until the end of his term.
During his term, he did the 'dirty' work and cleansed the Church of its SPIDERS and as much 'web' as he could.

The Media also loved JFK ...except all the husbands whose wives he slept with. Yep - nothing but a dirty little sex-addict that used his Presidential Powers to personal use.
I'm pretty sure that one of those 'husbands' organised his assassination (Death of Caligula).

When you are put in a position of Power & Privilege.
Sex and Love are just two of the sacrifices one has to make in a personal way ...for the love of the People.

As Issaac Asimov once said "World's best Lover (Husband) comes in and number #3 on his list."

Trump's contributions to government to date:

1. Appointing the richest corporate elites to key administrative positions in US history.
2. Tweeting things he just saw on Fox and Friends.
3. Putting his foot in his mouth.

We could go on about promoting Russia's geopolitical interests and making a mockery of the office of US president, but the above neatly sums it up. Trump is the most ineffectual president ever. Better hope Trump is in office to defend the US against China and North Korea? Imagine the US at war under a celebrity like Trump. He can't even spell his tweets properly - and he has his aides write them.

Trump has a 100 million Twitter followers - I would say that is a very useful tool he has to bypass the corrupt media. Far from being a negative we should applaud how smart he was.

Wouldn't you say? I'm sure your curious?

I am curious, and you're right. Twitter saved Trump a fortune on political advertising.

But I'm yet to read a tweet, speech or pronouncement of Trump's that I would describe as smart. I don't think anyone would describe Trump as smart, would they?

If Trump's intention was to play down his intelligence and win people over by talking about pussies and swamps and Mexican rapists (believe it), great.

Now that he's in the White House, when is he going to come out and show us how smart he really is?

Trump tells it how he sees it.

That's interesting, Sprint, because Mr Trump told us two things about why he fired the former FBI Director Comey. In the first version, he said it was because he didn't like the way Comey investigated Hillary. In the second, he said it was because he didn't like the way he was investigating Russia.

So I'm curious. Which version was Mr Trump telling it how he sees it?

100 million twitter followers .........

It is the most efficient method I have seen a President use to communicate with as many people as he can.

A Presidential Message, sure, Trump can do it from his office on his laptop .....
The world can see it within seconds .

Don't want to answer the question eh, Sprint?

No worries. Here's another. Was Mr Trump calling it as he saw it when he led a campaign against Obama's birth in Africa for 3 years, only to to finally admit that, okay, Obama really was born in America, but Mr Trump was fooled by fake news?

How about when he said he'd hired a team of private investigators in Hawaii and he was shocked about what they were uncovering? How about when he demanded that Obama resign from the presidency until Mr Trump could finish his investigation?

Calling it as he sees it, do you think?

Ja SIN just whilst you are on that subject. Isn't it a blessing that Bernie Sanders didn't make it to President

His own colleague Hillary Clinton put the fix in on him in the Primaries

Having doctored him Sanders turned around and supported her. What are pair of Losers. I know Trump has burning holes in him but nothing like the what that traitorous bitch Clinton is like

In the main, I don't respond to your posts.
At times I do.

eg, hillary was the one who bought up obamas birthplace.
Much more than 3 years ago.

Trump was the one who settled it.

Better not respond, Sprint. You're now telling fibs.

My prediction is that you'll go down with Trump, making excuses and telling porkies to the end. And then?

You won't respond. You'll pretend none of it ever happened.

Reply #14 - May 21^st, 2017 at 6:15pm It's a bit strange the media have not attacked Trump for his visit to Saudi yet, their was a few comments about his wife's big gold belt and the fact she didn't cover her hair, that would have driven the local men wild! Oh well they will be back at there computers tomorrow and going hard.
