The gym that I work out in has two televisions, one set to CNN and the other to MSNBC. I work in Cambridge, MA, so go figure. My experience is somewhat anecdotal, but it seems to me that every single second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day is dedicated to destroying Trump. Every time I look at these televisions, there is a story or panel bashing Trump. You can't tell me that these media outlets do not have an agenda. It is clear they don't like Trump and want to see him destroyed. It is also clear that seemingly, Trump sells and is good for business!

He gives the media more ammunition than any other president ever has. They do it because they know it's going to get a rise and response out of him.
They love the fact that he Tweets ridiculous crap every day because that feeds another story.

I don't think that Don meant by moving it here, that talking politics is OK so I will stay out of that discussion!

I will weigh in on the potential causes of our next 2 economic downturns: unfunded pension liabilities and student debt defaults. These are both huge issues that must be solved.

This sounds like my neighbor, whose sentences (and opinion) run-on without taking a breath:

"I refuse to talk about politics...have you seen Trump's latest lie?"
Her beliefs are supposed to stay apolitical, but arrived from North Carolina with a family stoked by deep memories of the KKK, whose donkey-party history goes back to the Civil War!

It's needed—should those who are ignorant of history try to shift blame to the wrong people—"those people" who saved The Union in 1865. (And who are today trying to save The Republic from those living burdened with saving Democracy).

In a lesser context, part of my answer was needed to show the hypocrisy of those who "know" exactly how we should be governed.

But, like many big-city Governments, are wrong!
