All Americans? Of course not. Only those snowflakes who never learned how to get over losing. Suck it up citizens. I survived several decades with LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and Obama without retreating to a corner in a sniveling mass. I didn't wail and moan ceaselessly. Sure, I criticized. but I also prayed for each and every one of them, hoping against hope that they would do something, anything right. A couple did. Obama never did. (No, he didn't get Bin Laden. In fact, as Senator, he fought President Bush's initiative to hunt him down. And when it came time to pull the trigger, Obama sat in the corner, a sniveling mass, while others directed the operation for him) So, take this mass of propaganda from NPR with a grain, no, a boxcar load of salt, and bury it in a pit where it belongs. Meanwhile, I'll celebrate the pain of the Left, the growing economy, the generation of new jobs, and the growing discomfort of our enemies as they realize that the giant is stirring if not yet awake.

CPT Jack Durish - Do you think that it's only the enemies of the US that are concerned about our current state of governmental leadership? It's very evident that our allies are also concerned.

CPT (Anonymous) - I have no problem with anyone criticizing any President. I'm just tired of the snowflakes running around like their hair is on fire, crying and bemoaning the very sight of President Trump, making lame jokes about him, and crying for his downfall. Of course, they don't give a damn that his failure would be our failure. They're too self-centered to be aware of the consequences of their words and acts. In other words, they're acting like immature children. (BTW, I'm qualifying that because I've known many children who are far more mature than they)

Discrimination occurs 24/7/365 to everybody. That's life. Did NPR write a similar article a year into Pres. Obama's term? Or an year into other president's term? Article failed to compare the same data with each of Pres. Obama's or Bush's years in office. I fail to understand how the world got so bad in one year. I didn't realize how great we all had it before Pres. Trump moved to Washington.

Cpl Tou Lee Yang - List them. Not exaggerations, or "New York" bluster, or minor differences in numbers, but statements that Pres. Trump has made that he knew the facts were untrue and he said them in order to deceive.

Cpl Tou Lee Yang - That's only what you know; you know what the propagandist tell you. Previously Presidents were protected. When they got caught lying, one of their staff would fall ton their sword and take the blame. The Secret Service would protect them from public scrutiny. And the press didn't make a field day out of exposing them. It started getting this way in the 60's and has gotten worse ever since. And it is the worst now because he has openly challenged and offended them.

I was in public service and one time I called them out on publishing blatant crap at a press conference and I was handily chastised by the media for suggesting that it was their responsibility to check the facts. They told me it was my responsibility to give them my version and let the public decide which "set of facts" were true...the other person wasn't using facts, he was making crap up. When they got offended and started to bristle, the Mayor, my boss, stepped in and told them I didn't understand and that I would be talked to about speaking that way to the media. All I did was share the real facts and tell them they needed to do their homework and decide whether the crap this guy was selling them and they were publishing for the public to read as if it was fact, was actually "news" worthy. I had to apologize to the media for telling the truth.

So no offense, but talk on. I am not at the whim of an opinion when I have experienced it. He has not done himself any favors by picking a fight with everybody. He will be taught, cruelly, that you don't mess with the media, or mainstream politics. They will eventually gut him in the public eye and the opposing public will eat it up...Roman coliseum style.

Sgt Martin Querin - Martin, when someone make a promise that a great wall he wants to built will be paid by the same people he's building the wall to keep out, then changing his tone that it will be funded by the tax payer. I do have some interest in it because it will be my money that is being spent on a project to elevate his bigotry.
