He should release them, I said that months ago on this thread and again recently, I also said he wouldn't. The time to release them was before the primaries. He's probably used loopholes to avoid paying taxes. The longer he went without revealing them the more the media built it up.

10k posts, woop.

Congrats.

Definitely not a supporter and it is indeed very worrying but the people of the USA know their own electorally system and accept it. They wanted Trump and they got what they wanted.

Them being up in arms about it is disengenuous.

In fairness, Trump lost the popular vote. Americans do not want Trump.

Don't lie Hank, you're hitting 'protest Trump' in the youtube search bar and throwing all the good results in here, just so you can go "ooohh look <insert stupid gob****es in here> hate Trump, therefore we should all support him".

It's actually "SAD!"

More likely whatever is front page of r/the_donald. They would be in damage control mode.

And that's a fact that many are disputing because it went against their desires.
Pick-n-mix rules don't really happen in the real world.

The global elites being the exception of course, they have the real power to select the rules that they like and ignore the rest!

Yeah, you really don't know how to analyse a source do you?

Conway spoke on ABC this morning, not Vox, and Vox just reported it, it's not an editorial or opinion piece ffs.

When they complain about the source and not what's actually being said by his representative then you know they're deluded.

Trump won 85% of the counties in America against a campaign run by a dishonest media. He was the clear winner.

He did well in large parts of the rural US that are relatively sparsely populated, just like most Republican candidates. That map means little in that context. Here's a county level map adjusted for population.

Looks like he won a dishonest campaign if he isn't going to release his tax returns?

So are you comfortable with this man being in power and not having confirmation that he isn't compromised?

Surely if he is honest about "draining the swamp" of corruption he should lead by example and show he isn't corrupt himself?

At this rate SNL should just fire the writers and use the transcripts of the Tangerine Tantrum and his entourage and it still would be comedy gold.

You'd think someone from Ireland would know the dangers of relying on that kind of statistic. Don't they teach about gerrymandering in NI anymore?

Plus he won all the big swing states and won traditional Democratic states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

And yet couldn't get more people to vote for him than his opponent and has low approval ratings. Get over it.

Trump is a loser. Bigly. Even when he wins he still shows himself up to a be a loser. And his fanboys, with hardons they can't explain, don't know how to deal with it. Sad!

The popular vote doesnt matter! but look how we can change it with numbers that matter less! If we count cars more cars voted for Trump!

He won, his now president, and yet what? The controlled mainstream media was against him all of the way, Clinton had massive money to spend, Trump did remarkably well overall.

Yes a minority of those who voted. Trump won the presidency. He lost the popular vote. He enters office with appallingly low approval ratings which have declined since his election, in contrast to almost every other incoming administration. A lot less people attended his inauguration than attended Obama's.

All these things are true. Its clear that it really burns a narcissist Trump that he is not popular.

In any case its incorrect to say Americans got what they wanted - most of them voted for Clinton, they got Trump.

He has the lowest approval ratings of any new president. There are presidents who had to really **** up to get approval ratings in comparison to him. The majority of the country is against him!

I think Trump needs to worry less about the media and worry more about the GOP. They don't like him. They didn't want him. They're just biding their time until they can remove him without alienating the majority of his voters.

Given Trumps car-crash of a weekend, they may not need to wait all that long.

Nevada is a great example of how unbalanced that map is. It's one of the biggest states and it looks like trump massively won that state when in reality Clinton won the only populated areas of the state, Clark county which includes Vegas and has a population of over 2 million and Washoe county where Reno is and has a population of 421,000. The counties trump won in Nevada range from Lyon county the largest which has a population of 51,000 through eureka which has 1,900 people and Esmeralda which has just 783 people in an area of 3,600 square miles..County cork is 2,900 sq miles for comparison

The media haven't been remotely dishonest, there is no plot by the Rotschilds. Trump is a massive liar with a massive ego and continues to be. Trump already looks to be a potential danger as he couldn't even hack day one without doing something insane over nothing. I'm happy to say that I do not believe he will last 4 years.

He is one of the most negative received presidents at this stage in their presidency. He has managed to create a protest movement around him as he continues to be a divisive idiot.

When you have a controlled mainstream media telling lies against Trump 24/7 there will be alot of naive people especially young that automatically believe what the media is telling them. He won't get high approval ratings when those who control the media corporations are against him. It's part of the struggle he has to fight against.

Spanish Eyes · 22-01-2017 10:49PM

Ah would ya all get over yourselves already.

Trump is playing a bit of a game here. Get all the bad news out first, make me look like an eejit in charge of the US version of North Korea etc.

Then gobsmack us all by being the best POTUS for a long time.

Could happen. Who knows? Give it more than a day or two anyway. We don't have a choice really, that's the thing.

What have they said that was false? How could he get elected if the mainstream media mind controls everyone? One second he is loved, the next people are tricked into disliking him.

His biggest controversy so far is simply as a result of reporting the ridiculous statements of his press secretary. You're resorting to pretty ancient conspiracy theories and ignoring reality. :pac:

TBH he is his own worst enemy. Most of the issues he has had with the media have been self inflicted. The latest ones like the pathetic toys out of the pram moment with his strop about the media accurately reporting the lacklustre numbers who attended his inauguration. Now we hear he holds the US public in such disdain that he won't release his tax returns and will leave his integrity and impartiality open to question. Any proper media organisation has to go after him, they aren't doing their job if they don't.

Bill Clinton was a pro establishment president. He had multiple sexual assualts against women, one of which was a 12yr old which the mainstream media didn't cover. During the recent campaign the media said everything against him, said he was a racist, sexist, homophobic which is not true, refused to turn the cameras around at his rallies to show the thousands turning up to hear him speak and continues to attack him non stop. He has every right to fight back.
