#1 i hope this isn't a sign of frustration or desperation, because it worked in the election campaign to build momentum does not mean it will work now to move the stumbling blocks laid by obama

we know our Trump is doing the best he can

maybe it is just too late to be able to fix this system and maybe we are not able to get where we need to be

he is my hero regardless of whether he succeeds i know he is trying and if he can't do it, nobody can

#2 Gosh, he goes out and meets the people he represents and he is immediately coined a failed president. I hope he does this monthly. I hope he comes to Phoenix. Its about time we have elected a president that does not forget about us. A president that does not think he is king and never leaves his castle...

#4 1 - see Fire Side Chats, FDR(tm)
With the MSM making this literally an all out assault, he goes around them to the people. Basically, you will not corrupt my message and connection to the people.

2 - 10 Donk Senate seats up for the next round of 'consent of the governed' in states Trump carried.

#6 #1 i hope this isn't a sign of frustration or desperation...

I seriously doubt it; Trump enjoys his rallies and connecting with the people, and rather than feeling frustration with the media I think he has utter contempt for them and relishes any opportunity to drive them crazy. For the crazier they get, the more difficult it's going to be for Democrats to win elections in 2008.

#7 The press is seething. The president is calling out the fake news again. They all say he has gone too far and that the press are a constitutionally protected entity. This is entirely true. I believe it. However when the one of our protected entities go off the rails with anger, hate, and try to drive their agendas to the into the public conscience someone has to call them out. If our congress will not call them then who? It falls on the president. They fawned over Obama, attacked anyone who opposed him, or even just questioned him- just ask Joe the plumber. Now they are on the attack. The press has an integrity problem. The president is calling them on it. I see no problem with it.

They're constitutionally protected from censorship or punishment by the government; but they're not protected, constitutionally or otherwise, from criticism by the President or anyone else. Donald Trump has just as much right to call them a bunch of lying assholes as you or I do.

#9 The First Amendment was ratified when there was no social institution known as the 'Press'. They were referring to the technology of information dissemination. Today that function and protection falls on the internet (why do you think they so desperately want to control that).

Just as the same a-holes conflate legal immigration with illegal immigration and natural/historical climate change with man made global warming, they also conflate their self identity with the technology.

#10 Inquisitors? Gone. And confessors.
And pity poor part-time professors.
The schwerpunkt: Some bumpkin
With bad hair debunking
Our near-defunct adjunct suppressors.

#12 Excelling at quelling the wellborn,
"Trump's Peasants Rebelling at Melbourne!"
Yell newshounds, like Luther,
"Uncouth, and a truther,"
Their chivalrous warnings so well-worn.

#13 This is what does best and after a trying week I believe he needed to be re-energized.

#15 Tzsenator, that is a scenario straight out of Tom Clancy when Jack Ryan finds himself President.
