quote [ Reporters need new tools to hold Trump accountable
Trump's press secretary said today Trump doesn't have to "conform to precedents." NYU journalism prof. Jay Rosen says Trump "cannot be held accountable by normal means" and explains how journalists must handle him. ] Donald Trump is mentally ill Each day that is becoming more and more obvious and the press is dumbfounded and does not know how to deal with it.
We can no longer pretend that what we are seeing is just a new and different sort of American president. His Narcissistic personality disorder has been widely discussed but as time goes on becomes more and more apparent.
His New years eve tweet was illuminating "Happy New Year to all,” Mr. Trump wrote, “including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!” The man is the president elect...still feeling inadequate and vindictive. Even a holiday known for its good cheer, it seems, could not dull Mr. Trump’s penchant for doling out taunts and insults via Twitter The entire Russian denial thing is all about how it reflects baldy on him. It has gotten to the point he is becoming delusional and grandiose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnP2Hjvawmw When Tuesday or Wednesday pass and we hear anything what will the press do? If past is prologue...maybe a slight mention. I don't know I guess I have to give the press some credit they now at least seem to be trying but either out of fear or ignorance seem ill equipped to deal with what is right in front of them. Somebody has to say the man is naked! When is somebody going to ask the tough questions? "‘This is not normal’: Kurt Eichenwald blasts reporters for being afraid of questioning Trump" https://youtu.be/GU_WOmQtWSU?t=44s

"You can't win by making those people more informed. Lack of information is not their issue."
It certainly wasn't a lack of information...They had plenty of information. It was coming in waves...but it wasn't coming from the media....and what was coming from media sources was discounted as fast as it could be written.
"Grabing Pussy" that was a joke...just a story from a long time ago.
Did you hear about the Pizza place?
This is about the media and their inability to be heard or believed About after Trump gains power the job will get tougher and they suck at it already.
Like I said I want to talk about the future but if you wonder why those people didn't vote didn't you hear Clinton help start ISIS, I even heard they had somebody killed. who would for for that?
