And I really cannot believe that so many people here believe the bullshit written by the media about him. If you watch his speeches or conferences and read the news afterwards you will see that they are outright lying or making things up. They not only put things out of context, they often make things up and provide extremely negative headlines about things he never said or meant this way.

Prove it. This is a dictator in the making, and if you keep denying it you're in for a surprise.

I believe Trump is the change USA needed. In the sense that they'd realize how stupid it was to vote for an authoritarian extremist with no political background and experience whatsoever and will never do it again.

CNN became the FOX news of the democrats but on even lower standards. They openly promote his assassination all day long and should be closed. And the other media are owned by people that wand to get rid of Trump at all cost and whatever it takes, they force their writers to wite extremely negative articles and to make up stories to take him down.

Unfortunately independent or neutral media does not exist anymore which makes it almost impossible to make an informed decision. Because Breitbart and Infowars provide a great contrast but they are not neutral either. So you have to do all the journalistic work youself because you cannot trust the media any longer.

Show me proof that they openly promote his assassination. Come on, CNN are a pro-establishment news source, they're not going to promote the complete destruction of the American government.

The press has gone too far with their campaign against Trump. If they purposely lie to the public and disobey to journalistic standards (like the so called fact checkers that claim one-sided, unproven and ideologically colored opinions to be facts) they should be held accountable because they threaten democracy.

I am a fan of free and critical press if it stays truthful, fair and honest. But here they want to destroy him and his family with whatever it takes and this goes way too far.

The press should let him do his work and criticize the results where necessary instead of spreading pure hate. He really and honestly plans to make life better and safer for everyone and this should be honored instead of being sabotaged.

Instead of attacking Trump on a personal level and writing 99,9% negative artickles about him, the media should do their job and report abput the massive immigrant riots in France https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJXvHRsjzBQ , but they want to hide the truth and bring along their own political agenda.

They are banned for a reason. The media is encuraged to write negative artickles if they are true but not if they are completely made up in violation of journalistic standards.

I made a comment on another thread about how this type of thing reminds me of a parent disciplining a child, and this just proves it even more so.
If you've been watching a lot of the big news corps, especially CNN, its becoming so clearly obvious the bias against Trump. Anytime anyone sides with Trump in anyway, for any reason, they are immediately cut off and/or discredited.

Trump has just simply moved onto the next phase. He told the kids to stop it, then they threw a tantrum, so then he warned them, but they didn't listen, and now he's taking away the toys/grounding them as a lesson. Trump is just being a principal who's gotten massive complaints from the teachers (Republican voters) and is making the rules clear and laying down the law to the troublemakers. It's that simple. You either listen and follow the rules or you pay the price.

Trump isn't stopping the press from reporting, he's just making sure the news tells the truth. You don't watch a cooking show and expect to see animal documentaries. You don't watch a comedy show and expect serious political debate. So why let the news tell nothing but jokes? If its ok for the news to say and do what they want, well why not let all the teachers say and teach whatever and however they want? Imagine if hydro decided they wanted to sell DC power instead of AC, but still called it AC, and just went ahead and made the changes without telling anyone, leading to a bunch of your appliances and electronics burnt out do to improper voltages etc wreaking havoc. Sure some people would say, well my new equipment didn't get fried so what are you all complaining about? Does that make this scenario ok? No. So why is it ok for the news to do or say whatever they want? It's basically a public service in reality.

If this is what the big news corps want to do, for ratings or whatever, then you need to start something new. Like reality tv. Call it reality news then, whatever. You can't take the news and just turn it into whatever you want. This isn't some new start up t-shirt business that isn't going so great, so change the direction to try and get some sales. Its THE NEWS!

I seriously hope they make an Anchorman 3 movie and make fun of this very situation we are in right now.

One link is just some guy talking, the YouTube search doesn't show any CNN videos advocating assassinating Trump.
