[Hoot Gibson]

I challenge you to get another poster on here to agree with you that I have ever portrayed the President as any kind of victim, whether that be powerless, hapless, helpless or otherwise. Being in the slim minority regarding pending political issues, is no rare place to find one's self when he has right on his side. And frankly, 63 million others would, agree with that.

He came to Washington to do a job because he was elected by normal work-a-day folks who'd had enough of the lies. His election was no fluke, and it was certainly not attributable to some grand Russian plot to deceive the people. As the mountains of revealed evidence clearly show; 'The resistance,' as it is referred to by his political enemies, is a united front which I believe includes the Deepstate, and is not limited to but certainly includes all the afore mentioned entities.

As to the rest of whatever you were saying. I said, from the list of Presidents YOU put up, TV only existed for Ronald Reagan. You don't get to co-op the one I mentioned in order to make your point. I will readily venture my agreement with you on Lincoln and FDR. Although I believe Trump is very highly and selflessly motivated, those two men likely carried a heavier burden than does Trump. Presently at least. I said 'presently,' because I am convinced beyond question that war is coming. And with it the burden that all wartime Presidents must shoulder. Who really knows how much longer things will seem normal in this land? No President has ever faced existential opposition from those within state and federal government anything close to what Trump has.

But from among the other things said resistance is for example, well funded, (your and my tax dollars hard at work.) Additionally, resistance adherents are almost impervious to being fired or being prosecuted. Nor are they it would seem, subject to any sort of oversight from the Congress of the United States and therefore, the very people by whom they are employed. Taxpayers. And as I have pointed out, unlike in Lincoln, FDR and Reagan's times, (who were limited to snail mail, dial up phones, cables and written notes) thanks to texts and email, said resistance of today can communicate amongst themselves front to back in nearly real time. And that is important for the 24/7 news loop if the resistance is to maintain orderly talking points, and any appearance of credibility before the American people. No president other than MR Trump has ever faced anything like it.

The people did receive news via electronic media as you say, but not in Lincoln's case. And FDR was limited mostly to radio, almost NOBODY had a TV in 1941. By 1939 homes fortunate enough to have a radio had become commonplace, but certainly not universal. Heck, electricity wasn't even common place until the 1930's. Even then I do not agree with you that the media were united in their bias until at least the days of the Bill Clinton administration. Before those days the media tried to lay suggestion between the lines and used inflection and tone in an attempt to convey things subliminally. Since then the media have progressively gotten more brazen, today achieving rabid nirvana. But in returning to your comment regarding your campaign posts about DJT. You slammed him then, and you're slamming him now. Other than Trump, you can't name one other person in government (before or during his campaign) not afraid to publicly take on political correctness, immigration reality, trade/intellectual property theft, NATO, NAFTA, and the economic "new normal."

Your reaction to criticism of Trump has consisted of one lame excuse after another. And, if you review my post, you will find that I did mention JFK and that I was not referring to John F. Kerry, who fortunately never served as POTUS. I will give you the benefit of doubt and assume that you did not read my post carefully before accusing me of injecting Kennedy into the discussion to win a debate point.

I will concede that the media has become more blatantly biased against Republicans in recent years, but in the days of three national TV and radio networks, the liberal bias was there and the conservative media to refute their propaganda was almost non-existent.

Cronkite, Huntley, Brinkley, Reasoner, Smith - where were the conservative anchors during the Vietnam War? Liberal media helped the North Vietnamese and their Viet Cong allies win the war with their very biased and very selective reporting. Liberals have controlled the media for a very long time. Donald Trump is not the first Republican who has faced a very hostile media but he has been very ineffective in dealing with them.
