I will not allow our great country to be sold out': Trump says

[h=2]'I will not allow our great country to be sold out': Trump says the 'unpatriotic' press is 'driven insane by Trump Derangement Syndrome', insisting 90% of the coverage of him is negative[/h]

Trump went on another anti-media tirade shortly after revealing on Sunday that he had met with New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger. While Trump said they spoke at length about 'fake news', Sulzberger clarified that he met with the president because he was worried that Trump's 'dangerous' rhetoric against the media was putting journalists' lives at risk. Trump then attacked the press again on Sunday afternoon, blaming the media for putting 'the lives of many at risk' by revealing 'internal' government deliberations. The president has repeatedly called the media the 'enemy of the people', even shortly after five journalists were murdered at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland.

[h=3]READ THE NEW YORK TIMES' STATEMENT IN FULL[/h]Earlier this month, A.G. received a request from the White House to meet with President Trump. This was not unusual; there has been a long tradition of New York Times publishers holding such meetings with presidents and other public figures who have concerns about coverage.
On July 20th, A.G. went to the White House, accompanied by James Bennet, who oversees the editorial page of The Times. Mr. Trump's aides requested that the meeting be off the record, which has also been the practice for such meetings in the past.
But with Mr. Trump's tweet this morning, he has put the meeting on the record, so A.G. has decided to respond to the president's characterization of their conversation, based on detailed notes A.G. and James took.
Statement of A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher, The New York Times:
My main purpose for accepting the meeting was to raise concerns about the president's deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric.
I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous.
I told him that although the phrase 'fake news' is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists 'the enemy of the people.' I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.
I repeatedly stressed that this is particularly true abroad, where the president's rhetoric is being used by some regimes to justify sweeping crackdowns on journalists. I warned that it was putting lives at risk, that it was undermining the democratic ideals of our nation, and that it was eroding one of our country's greatest exports: a commitment to free speech and a free press.
Throughout the conversation I emphasized that if President Trump, like previous presidents, was upset with coverage of his administration he was of course free to tell the world. I made clear repeatedly that I was not asking for him to soften his attacks on The Times if he felt our coverage was unfair. Instead, I implored him to reconsider his broader attacks on journalism, which I believe are dangerous and harmful to our country.

Trump needs to grow up and stop being such a fucking pussy crying about all this. Just do your fucking job and don’t give a shit what people say about you. I know none of the righties will believe it but this is the kind of thing that makes him look bad to many independent voters. If a person truly believes what they are doing is right, then it should not matter what others say or think. He needs to shut his fucking mouth about all this crap or he WILL lose votes!!

How does open borders look to independent voters?

We're in year 3 of the Trump thing, if anyone is getting turned off by his personality right now as a deciding factor in how they vote then they're as low info as it gets.

Pats, I think you are one of the most intelligent guys on this forum and I always value your opinions on here. Having said that, it’s obvious you have a very low opinion of me and think I’m a low info voter and that’s fine with me. But the bottom line is I actually base my opinions on what I hear from people in the real world and not from the ones who spend their lives posting on an Internet forum 10 hours a day like most here do. I’m 62 and spend much of my life now around older white males who are mostly Republicans and Independents and trust me, they don’t like how Trump acts and agree he needs to shut his mouth. I don’t care one way or another because my life will go on as usual either way. I’m just telling it like it really is. And by the way, I may be the low info voter here, but at least I know it’s Trumps 2nd year in office not 3rd.

It means lying in a more professional, more traditional manner

"You can keep your health insurance if you like it", even when you know that's not possible and you're about to fuck up tens of millions of American families

"Benghazi was the result of a YouTube video", even threatening to charge the producer with a crime, just because you don't want Americans to know you're an EPIC FAILURE

WINNING, GROWING THE ECONOMY, CREATING JOBS, DEFEATING ISIS, BRING PEACE TO THE WORLD

THAT'S PRESIDENTIAL IN MY WORLD. The fucking idiots prefer to growth in food stamps and celebrities visiting the White House

They're fucked in the head

1. I said we're in year 3 of "the Trump thing", obviously I meant when he took that elevator down in Trump tower and announced he was running for President. That is the point at which he began his scorched earth, highly polarizing/controversial political career. So yes, I also know it is his 2nd year in office.

2. I didn't say people won't like how Trump acts, I said at this point most people have already made the decision of whether that is important to them or not. I.e. I don't think anyone is waking up today and saying "Man, Trump is a dick, I was in before but now I'm out..Fuck it, I hope Joe Biden runs!" I don't think that's happening to anyone that could pass a basic civic tests. So yeah, I'd say those voters are low info.

And yes, I would say for anyone that is just now in Trump's 3rd year deciding if they're voting for him or not based on tweets still is probably not the most well versed on issues.

Apologies on the year thing as I misinterpreted what you meant. And I agree especially with your final statement. It’s something I have said on here in the past. And I never said those voters already made up their minds, just that they don’t like Trumps actions and it could cause them not to vote for him. Independent voters will be the most important voters in the next election. I have no idea who I will vote for in 2020, unlike the sheep on here who will suck Trumps dick and already decided they will vote for him no matter what. I may vote for Trump again in 2020, but if his actions continue for another 2 1/2 years it’s very possible I won’t. And all I’m saying is there are many out there who feel the same way.

For me, it means stop acting like an internet bully and act like a President. It means stop being a hypocrite talking about fake news when every other statement out of his mouth is fake as well. It means stop being disrespectful to someone just because you disagree with them. I could go on but why bother. He could be a great President if he would just learn to act like one instead of acting like you guys.

That would be the sensible thing to do but your pompous arrogance won't allow it.
