Trump To Address The Nation Tonight


Recommended Posts

You really think his disinformation campaign will work again? Fool me once...

 

Trump's base is only 1/3 of the country, that won't win another election. This nonsense of a national security crisis at the border only feeds the base. 

 

* Julia Ainsley reports that the actual number of suspected terrorists stopped at the southern border in 2018 was 6, which is one-seventh the number stopped at the Canadian border. Looks like we’ll need two walls!

The narrative has been handed out to the lemmings to spread........................you cannot say "lies" enough..........lol........:w00t:

 

That's fine...................let them .................as another poster would say.............."greatest meltdown ever"

 

 

 

“Fact-checkers are eating their Wheaties and getting extra rest since they will be working overtime tonight to separate fact from fiction on this border situation,” Alisyn Camerota says ahead of President Trump’s prime-time address on border security https://cnn.it/2FgzDSI 

 

They should be pretty well "rested" after that eight year nap............

 

 

They genuinely still have zero understanding about why people elected a loose cannon like Trump.

 

If you want to fact check him live, great.

 

But you wouldn’t dream of doing it for the last guy & it will all cease with the next one

 

& everybody knows it.

 

 

 

 

 

NBC will broadcast the Dem response to Trump’s Oval Office speech but so far the MSM don’t seem as interested in organizing a fact-checking posse for that one.

Well, I'm glad that the lefties and the media (redundant as that may be) have already determined that Trump's entire address will be lies. We don't need to watch it now, just make sure you tune in for their "fact checking" and "analysis" afterwards, so that we know what we missed.

Gator's ignorance on full display today...............

 

It is the dems and the media who are attempting a "socialist" solution of limiting what the people hear

 

Only the approved narrative should be out there.

 

 

The funny part is that, of the (unfortunately) few citizens who are interested to watch, how many do you think are going to hang around for Chuck and Nancy ?

 

 

 

He’s LOST it! Don Lemon wants Trump’s speech delayed for ‘editing’ and the look on Chris Cuomo’s face is PRICELESS (watch)

Chuck Todd was on the radio this morning, and had a brilliantly subtle contradiction: the networks gave much thought to whether or not to give Trump air time, and reluctantly decided it was necessary (in order to refute his lies - apparently, NBC has something "special" planned for coverage).  But when asked if Pelosi and Schumer should be given time as well, his answer was an immediate and energetic "Of course!"

Are you promoting a false equivalency? Those two are not liars anywhere near the level of Trump.

Just to be clear, because some of the posters here lack basic reading/logic skills.

 

The media (see; liberals) don't mind the amount of Trump coverage they do, and clips of him speaking that average Americans see (it's good for business)

 

It is when President Trump speaks live, directly to the public, that they get their panties bunched, because as a TV president he knows how to hit the right buttons and talk to the voters.  We can't have anyone getting an "unapproved' message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fourth Estate? Forget about it. Joe Lockhart wants to make the media the First Estate, with the right to rule on the veracity of presidential statements before the peons are permitted to hear them.

 

On this morning's New Day, Lockhart, a CNN political commentator and former spokesman for President Clinton, recommended that the networks not provide live coverage this evening of President Trump's Oval Office address about the situation at the border. Instead, Lockhart said Trump should give the networks the text in advance, "and let us decide in advance what's true."

It's interesting that the media wants to fact check Trump's veracity (after already determining that his speech will be nothing but lies before hearing it), but don't you dare mention all the times they've been caught lying about his administration.

Don't chase the ?️?️?️ D.R.

 

 

 

 

 

It's great news -- in fact high time -- that Donald Trump will be making a formal speech on immigration to the country Tuesday night. As the political heat reaches a boil in our country, the key to resolving difficult issues, not to mention enhancing the president's 2020 potential, will be more such speeches and less reliance on Twitter to communicate with the public.

 

That some networks were unsure whether to air his address is a sure sign it is indeed a good idea. Did these broadcasters actually fear "partisanship," as they said, or the truth?  Or was it just their own version of partisanship?

 

Whatever the case, fewer tweets and more formal speeches is the better path. Twitter can be fun (or war games for ideologues -- if you prefer), but it doesn't do much to enlighten us or move the needle and is, to say the least, short on details. Further, its telegraphic style leaves it wide open to misconstruals --often, in fact usually, deliberate.

 

And no one, as Selena Zito explained long ago, is misconstrued as often and as deliberately as Trump.

 

Immigration isn't the only subject on which the people have been misinformed and/or misled and on which the president might benefit by addressing the public directly. The trade negotiations with China deserve public discussion as do the issues of taxation and economics now that socialism is enjoying something of a fad among millennials.  (Who's to blame them when that's all they hear in their college courses? Venezuela is so far away.) There are others.

 

But the issue du jour that is keeping our government closed -- in case you haven't noticed (ha!) -- is immigration. The discussion of this topic has been over-heated in the extreme.  Indeed, it has hardly been about immigration and the border at all, but largely about power.  Who wins? Who's responsible for the government shutdown?  Which party profits?  (Yawn.)  The immigrants, legal and otherwise, are pawns in a far greater game few of them have heard of and even fewer understand.

 

Given that situation, the president has all the more reason to address the public directly without the filter of the media. They will have plenty to say anyway for those who are interested.

 

They and their Democrat semblables have been handed plenty of advance warning of what the president will be proposing to the country. A letter from Russell Vought, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, spells out the administration request that seems entirely reasonable and, in the grand scheme of government spending,  amazingly low cost.  If every government program were as cheap as Trump's wall, the deficit would be gone in minutes.

 

But speaking of walls, as many have heard, the wall for which the president is requesting $5.7 billion is now a "steel barrier." I suppose the change is to make the Democrats happy, but in an adult society the choice of materials would be left to those who know better -- engineers. (But we live in a world where politicians who couldn't pass a high school physics test opine on "climate science," so what do you expect?)
