If the media reported fairly on Trump and not make personal attacks on him and also members of his administration, then maybe they wouldn't get flack.

They constantly call him mentally unstable and unhinged which is unprofessional at best and personal abuse at worst.

In April’s White House Correspondents Dinner, comedienne Michelle Wolf took personal attacks at press secretary Sarah Hukerbee Sanders, taking the piss out of her appearance and Southern roots.

Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Jennifer Rubin said Sanders should be harassed publicly as a 'life sentence.'

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace suggested that Sanders should be choked. It goes on...

The rhetoric against her ramped up by the media means she is the first ever US press secretary to have Secret Service protection.

The media promotes the narrative from the Democrats that Republican politicians should be hounded in restauramts, gas stations and other public places.

There's nothing mentioned in the BBC article about CNN's false Russia stories and other real fake news and nothing about the personal attacks by journalists. Hardly balanced reporting.

CNN, the channel that had p*** star Stormy Daniels on for weeks on end, is now so bad that even Nickelodeon gets higher viewing figures.

In the run-up to the election, Hillary Clinton got the support of more than 240 editorial boards, while Donald Trump got 19.

All the 300 outlets did was make a political stunt and actually proved Trump right.

I really hope he has an effect on a British politician who may eventually look out for British people.

The Boston Globe, the instigator of this (pathetic) 'War on Trump', happened to be in collusion with the Clinton campaign to boost Hillarys 'presence'.

I wonder what else they're crap at.

Buy Litecoin.

Growth of our economy here is due to the tax bill passed last year which was stimulus late in the business cycle.

Factor in that the effect is more corporate... leading to additional buybacks and dividends, nothing for the equity market to do but go up. Inflation still remains moderate, but the Fed has a tough job to do in threading the needle.

There are a lot of signs here in the US that the consumer is getting free with money again, look at retail sales and corporate earnings within the discretionary sector.

As a lifelong Republican, I can fairly say Trump is an idiot and is disgusting all at the same time. He lucked out to get a Republican Congress at the same time...any other Republican would've passed a tax bill in that scenario, too.

It doesn't make up for any of the other ridiculousness of his administration.

I dunno, I look at the world I live in and I dont like much of what I see.
I was born in 1942 in the UK grew up there and migrated to OZ in 1980 with my wife and three boys and I have retired and look back and say I have done OK.

I just find the US self centered and too inward looking, but then so is Europe.

By comparison, there is an upheaval everywhere else in the world, which troubles me.

The unstoppable migration of people from Africa particularly ,where kids are dying from hunger and disease every second of the day, contrasting with fat,overweight people in first world countries entering disgusting eating competitions.

This is not right, so forget analysing these global fat cat pollies.
The silent majority has spoken!

I said relative to the previous years.

There is what the left predicted and there is what has happened.
