That. Is. Dangerous.
You really don't get it do you? The media colors its reporting to a degree that it is basically rhetorical lying. That's the view of many in the US.
Oh I'm entirely aware that's their view, and Trump is doing everything in his power to stoke that fire.
Back that claim up with facts.
Trump just went full "LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!!!" on the media for reporting a ridiculously obviously true thing. And you don't appear to give a crap and just want to keep trying to say the media is dishonest. You are Trump's target audience.
Trump is simply calling them out on it.
THEY REPORTED THE TRUTH!!!!!!!
There is no disputing the crowd size reporting. None. We are in "water is wet" territory that Trump's crowd size was significantly smaller than Obama's. He didn't call them on anything. They have to have done what he accused them of for him to have "called them on" anything.
And I find it telling that your problem is with the people who are concerned about the leader of their nation bragging about committing sexual assault with multiple independent reports of sexual misconduct more than the fact that the leader of the country bragged about committing sexual assault.
"Spoiled children" indeed...
Is this new? Hello Bill Clinton.
You find the Bill Clinton quote bragging about committing sexual assault, I'll concede your point.
Fooling around with an intern is skeezy, but you do understand the difference between consensual and non consensual sexual activity do you not?
I'll wait.
I don't recall the TEA Party being nearly as destructive or hateful and they were equally incensed 8 years ago.
Oh yeah, the Tea Party was *incredibly temperate" in their response when Obama won by over 10 million votes. They didn't question his legitimacy at all!
What planet were you living on in 2009?
