Trump and Truth

Not surprised that Trump has an issue with the new advertisement which will be aired during the oscars.

The NYT is an excellent example of the Establishment that Trump hates. Trump now has the Bully Pulpit and is using it to wreck his revenge and have what for him qualifies for a good time. As President the rules of this fight are pretty much set by him unless the Supreme Court or Congress says otherwise. Trump is a person who lives by his own rules and being the one whose setting the rules for this fight must fill him with glee.

Have to get a lot of other stuff out of the way first.

President Donald Trump couldn’t hold back anymore.

After a weekend of thorny questions and barbed Democratic criticism surrounding ties between his campaign and Moscow, Trump took to his favorite platform Sunday to fight back.

“Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!” the president tweeted.

The tweet marked a departure in tone from the Democratic trolling he had done just a day earlier, mocking the opposing party’s newly elected chairman and attempting to sow discord by speculating that the Democratic National Committee had rigged the election against Bernie Sanders’ preferred candidate.

The White House, however, would have been hard-pressed not to weigh in on the subject of Trump associates' contacts with Russia. Republicans on Sunday faced endless questions about the ongoing investigation into Russia's role in the presidential election — especially what role, if any, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should play in overseeing it.

I could meet Trump wearing my white new balance sneakers. He would tell me I was wearing brown loafers and expect me to believe him.

This is Trumps reality

Trump & Co. have now topped 100 lies in their first 36 days.

He's basically created an alternate reality readily embraced by his avid followers.

The Trump effect of unintended consequences.

New York Times executive editor: Trump is the best thing to happen to our subscriptions
Quote:
“Trump is the best thing to happen to the Times’ subscription strategy,” Dean Baquet said in an interview with CNN’s "Reliable Sources." “Every time he tweets it drives subscriptions wildly.”
Best feature for me about NYT is that now as I am traveling, I can download the entire paper on to my iPad and immerse myself in fake news throughout the day without needing WiFi.
