    Day one and the lunacy is starting. Sean Spicer straight up lying and pretending that the crowd for Trump's inauguration was the biggest crowd ever seen at any inauguration.

    You just know that the small crowd is eating away at Trump.

    He must be seriously insecure.

    It looks like more people came out to protest today in US cities than were at his inauguration. That's pretty damning to say the least.

    Outright lies by Spicer and Trump at the CIA. Spicer refuses to take questions about the Women's marches. Trump claims the media made the feud with the intelligence agencies. Ignoring his own public condemnation of them. Claims the media lied about numbers at his inauguration. The guy is nuts. There is a lunatic in charge of the White House.

    Events won't stand still and this guy is unstable. How long before the GOP have to move?

    It's actually mad. Literally his first day on the job and he runs in the door all guns blazing about two, TWO examples of "false reporting" on twitter.

    I guarantee the correspondents there weren't even gonna mention anything about crowds or that speech yet this just eats at him inside. Trump has a severe narcissistic personality disorder..


    'the crowds were back at the Monument... God stopped the rain just for me' :pac:

    Ah, that must be why we got a rise of the China model of government opposition crowd.

    4chan must have made a fake video showing the crowds. There was no way they were that small.

    That's what I love to see!

    The press has got some balls now.

    And they absolutely have to proceed with facts, constantly facts against these trolling, lying, anti democratic fools.

    Wasn't even in the gaff also!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 778 ✭✭✭BabyCheeses


    What was the differences between the two areas? Look very similar in the pictures.
    EDIT: Looks like post was deleted, guess it was even too much to believe for a Trumpski.

    Not just any facts, they need to be about his popularity and how he compares with other presidents, especially Obama.

    It eats him inside. I guarantee he went to bed last night, looked at the news and went mad about the pictures of the crowds and what commentators thought of the speech. He said himself today he looked at it this morning.

    He's obsessed with his image, and the more the press reports on how much people hate him, the angrier he'll become. It's ****ing brilliant.

    This is looking more and more like a despot "regime" with each passing day. Or am I giving too much credit?

    what was it he referenced to defend Melania's speech at the RNC, I think it was a nursery rhyme or childrens story - Snow White?

    It's bizarre to tell reporters not just what's going on but exactly how they should report it.

    His narcissistic character precludes him from realizing what a dumb f*cker he's being.

    Because he has the best words.

    But not the biggest words. Since his vocabulary and grammar are at the same level as an 11 year old.

    Been drinking tonight, does it exude me for posting this?


    Go ahead, beats listening to your excuses about how the numbers from the media are lies.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds Trumps excessive saturation of the media to be an extremely troubling sign. Even ignoring the nature of whatever is being reported, it is worrying that his name is in bold and everpresent.

    The idea of 'fake news' is a concept I actually agree with him on, in the sense that he and his exploits draw so much media coverage, that over time it will become increasingly difficult to piece together any semblance of a narrative that even comes close to the reality of what is actually going on in the world.

    What do people even want to hear about anymore?
    Some secret trade agreement that will affect the lives of millions? Or Trump having a freak out on twitter with some A-list celebrities?

    Media is an extremely dangerous tool, and as much as I dislike the man I believe his manipulation of it to be somewhat impressive.

    Clearly taking a leaf out of Vladislav Surkov's book.

    It would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that credulous gobsh*tes will be on here regurgitating his lies as though they were facts next week.
    2 million people attended the inauguration, 5 million Mexicans voted illegally and we've always been at way with Eastasia.

    It's best to think of the protests not as an attempt to effect immediate change, but as a display of strength and solidarity in the face of the far-right gaining power in the most powerful country in the world.

    What is clear to me is that the right don't really protest but the left do, I suppose the latter are made up of people who can take the time to show up to these things, while others are busy working and taking care of their families.

    If you were to judge power and popularity with protests then the left would never ever lose an election or a policy fight, yet they lost both houses and the presidency in the US, and are on the retreat in Europe.

    Hence why people should take these protests with a grain of salt. The media are of course at the centre of it, whipping it up. If people are not outraged or pissed off then people will not turn to the media for their daily dose.

    Great point. I wonder will these protests start going on about the debt as they did with Bush. Conveniently forgotten about when Obama came to power though. :)

    Trumo rallies: Wow, look how many support him!

    Anything else: Well they don't have jobs to do so it is easy for them!

    I'm sure you can provide statistic for how many of them didn't have a job? It is even better because one of the main reasons for voting Trump was for ****ing jobs!

    You must have forgotten the early years of Obama presidency.
