   @DCPatriot There was no sarcasm meant or implied in my post above, I am able to appreciate 'some' of the things My President is doing for me AND my Country, in spite of what @LegalAmerican and @Frank Cannon say about me I am neither a 'Lefty' or a Communist.

LOL!  Not gonna get laid hanging with that crowd.

So he should stop holding to rallies. Start "paying attention to his critics and try to convince them he's not the danger that Democrats say he is", stop tweeting. Stop defending himself, just allow the insane press coverage he's suffering go unanswered. Or worse, depend upon the GOP to defend him.

The actual results he's delivering don't matter.

What an effed up political environment we have today.

Well said and that is EXACTLY what got us to this point.  IMHO he needs to keep doing what he's been doing only more of it.

Au contraire! 

He's got over 80,000,000 followers on twitter.  Get serious.   

A direct conduit around the media to anybody on the planet who's interested.

Step back and look at this man's accomplishments in the face of what he has to deal with 24/7?

I don't want him to change a single thing he's doing...except to ask Rush Limbaugh to write him a timely speech to share with America on the merits of Conservatism and Free-Market Capitalism.    :laugh:
@aligncare @DCPatriot

That 80 million figure might be the single most significant fact, period.

Has anybody in history ever, let alone the President, had that communication channel?

There are plenty of POSITIVES to talk about, AND plenty of WARNINGS, to be issued, over open borders, etc.

Don't you think with the recent culling, his adjusted number would be announced?

They didn't touch it.

Are there any real people on Twitter?   Or is it just an illusion.

Let me remind you that President George W. Bush's 6 year 'strategy' of not responding to negative attacks means that it's been 16 years the media have been this way toward Conservatives.

...an ENTIRE voting generation from that bloc has matured and...this shit is all they know.

I have never in my life seen the media kind or fair to any Conservative. And my first vote was for Reagan.

Good point...but it could be Twitter is not interested in the shitstorm that would surely follow if they did.

No, a good chunk of them are bots.  It's not unusual---the same is true of Obama and Lord knows how many others.  It's not hard to buy Twitter followers and a lot of famous people do it.

I don't know where the 80 million figure came from; Trump's twitter currently says he has 53.4M followers.  According to Twitter Audit, about 7M are fake, with a total of around 46M followers.

You're absolutely right, @roamer_1 but the point I was trying to make was in this age of a biased Twitter, Facebook and Google added to the pot, that if not for Donald Trump, we'd be in the 2nd year in our sprint toward 'Venezuela'.

Someday sir, you're going to learn to appreciate him.  :laugh:

PS:  kudos on the homosexual deviancy thread.  You hit for the cycle.

46M is still a pretty good number....There are still a lot of people who don't have Twitter.  Like me, for instance.

Maybe it's 46 million Americans and the rest sprinkled around the globe?

But you're right.  80M seems inflated.

Figuring what?...20% of his 46M...approx 9M of them are not necessarily fans, but on the fence or the 'NT' variety?

How many of that 9M have to know by now that they're probably on the wrong side of the battle?

I was actually disappointed in that thread... It wasn't about homo deviancy. It was about the Church and its fall from grace in the states. That is the topic I was trying to sustain. Great thread though, all the same.

I remember you wayyy back on FR. We don't always disagree, and it's always been generally amicable.
