if attendance numbers at his inauguration will be the biggest problem during his presidency then we are good to go
Well quite. And you'd think then that Spicer wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it and Conway would've not tried to create an alternate reality to explain his comments.Ok for a second let's give him the benefit of the doubt going forward, but why would he do such a thing on his very first day? Wouldn't he have hundreds of people begging him not to? No advisors got through to him?!
I don't see how he thought he could just try and tell people their eyes were not working when the whole world saw it?
It's genuinely baffling.

Hahahahah highly unlikely (just to clarify for the trumpists the carrot topped blunder boy will not make america great again nor will it be beautiful,wonderful or super)
I struggle to understand how anyone can make the only true world super power and arguably the richest nation on earth great again?
maybe if trump stops the top one percent sucking up all the profit the ordinary forgotten american might think its beautiful chances of that happening ..... well don4l has a better chance of achieving man powered flight.
WOW.....I struggle to understand how anyone can make the only true world super power and arguably the richest nation on earth great again?

Apart from the missing capitalisation of America on two occasions - It's a really odd day!

I've explained this earlier, only to be attacked for making the point.
He is clearly trying to set the ground rules for how the media cover his presidency, where if he sees them misrepresenting the facts, he will take them to task.
That is no me commenting on what the facts are, that's me explaining his mind set.
The Press have done themselves no favours in the last few years, they constantly tell lies or half truths, which has left them exposed to what we see now.
My hope is that real journalism is rejuvenated as a result of this mess.

Trouble is, if he says they're bull-stting, thats true.
He's arranged it that any criticism must be viewed as a conspiracy.
So he won't be challenged by the media when he cocks up. Quite frightening...
That's why they must do their job properly and professionally.tting, thats true.He's arranged it that any criticism must be viewed as a conspiracy.

If they don't, then he will tear them to pieces and not be accountable.
Its up to the Press to up their game.

You really aren't. Bizarre how you pretend to temper your evangelism like this.The fact that you think I am a Trump supporter is also no surprise. Snowflakes are a binary folk.

Trump makes a lot of noise but if he doesn't deliver he is going to be ripped apart. The next 4 years are going to be a fun ride.
Funny that people are getting all excited about politicians manipulating things to suit their agenda. Like that is news...
Well he's got two years before he gets congratulated or smacked in the nose.Funny that people are getting all excited about politicians manipulating things to suit their agenda. Like that is news...

Except they didn't misrepresent the facts. They presented the facts contrary to the outright lies he published. As Dr Murdoch has said above any deviation from the party line is viewed as a conspiracy. I guess he's learning pretty quickly from Putin how to run an authoritarian regime.He is clearly trying to set the ground rules for how the media cover his presidency, where if he sees them misrepresenting the facts, he will take them to task.
