NorthSideSox72 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 11:19 AM) Stephen Miller’s authoritarian declaration: Trump’s national security actions ‘will not be questioned’   "Will not be questioned." That is an incredible claim to executive authority -- and one we can expect to hear plenty more about. Trump has beaten around this bush plenty, yes. But Miller just came out and said it: that the White House doesn't recognize judges' authority to review things such as his travel ban. Miller and Bannon are scarier than Trump himself, and they obviously have Trump's ear. I mean, Miller was this/close to just calling him Supreme Leader. It's insane.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Today, according to Gallop: Â The daily tracking poll found that just 40% of Americans approve of President Trump's job as president so far, compared to 55% who say the disapprove. The negative 15-point spread is the highest recorded in the poll since Trump took office January 20. Â He might have a 53% approval rating if you polled his offspring.

Since last Monday (Feb. 6), Real Clear Politics identified 8 polls on Trump's job approval rating. Those polls ranged from a low of 40% (Gallup from today) to a high of 52% (Rasmussen from today). And Rasmussen was the only poll to find the President's approval rating about 50%. You have to go all the way back to February 1 to find Trump at 53% (also Rasmussen - Gallup was at 43% on that same date).

Soxbadger Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Any poll that Trump isnt leading is fake news. So each week we have to tune into #Fakenews to find out which news is #RealNews and which news is #Fakenews.

southsider2k5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Honestly it would have been nice if the left hadn't started screaming about fake news during the election cycle, as it has just given Trump the easy out for any news he doesn't like. Oh, it is just fake news. The left literally simplified it enough that a Trump voter could take it and run with it in two words, and invalidate anything they don't agree with it.

StrangeSox Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 There was actual "fake news" and the widespread consumption of it during the election was and is an issue. That Trumpists took what is an actual thing and changed it to be a (crappy) deflection for anything they don't like doesn't make the original concept bad. Â Trump was whining about the "lying" and "unfair" media long before 'fake news' became a phrase, and the conservative media sphere as a whole has been trumpeting "DON'T TRUST THE LIBERAL MEDIA!" literally for decades. It's not the left's fault that there are a large number of Americans primed to immediately dismiss anything that doesn't bolster their own worldview.

Â "Fake news" was coined to describe news stories that were literally made up in order to generate clicks and spread nonsense. The term was appropriate. You can't blame "the left" for Donald Trump taking the phrase and using it in an entirely different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
