And the shovelling begins.. or false news... or well he screwed up.
He seems to be doing that a lot lately.
Well at least this time he mentioned how he screwed up... by watching a Fox program.
But according to his own admission, being president is "hard".

Did you hear his comments on Sweden ?
He never said anything about a terrors attack ,your just repeating the MSM fake news your getting from CNN.
Here's what he actually said and what he was referring to .

Lol. You want to resurrect the same arguments that closed the other thread?
Fine. Yes I heard his blather about Sweden. He talked about Sweden in the same paragraph as the other terrorist issues. Hence the confusion around the world. Maybe if the guy knew how speak in full paragraphs, transition properly from one topic to another, answer without babbling and diversion, he could actually communicate like a national leader. Or at least hire a better speech editor. His "explanation" today is weak damage control and makes him look even funnier.
Rape stats in Sweden high because of refugees? Complete bs. Always been high, long before the Syrian war. Look it up. Fake news comes just as readily from that joker as anywhere else.
Some incidents and posting on Facebook and dumbtube, or by propagandists, whether from the left or alt right, does not equate to "real news".

Very pertinent quote. D Trump and his alt right fanatics should learn from it, as could those on the extreme left.

Funny how nobody on the left seemed to care too much when Obama or the Clinton's were lying to them about major policies, but when Trump fires away from the hip with hyperbolic statements to make a point he's subverting democracy.
Looks like the left is hell bent on securing a second term for Trump.

There is a newish term around, calling political idealogues "snowflakes". I guess it is to highlight their delicate sensibilities and inability to handle the heat, or
respectfully consider other positions.
It has become quickly apparent with his gaffes, inaccuracies, his own "false news" followed by his inability to handle the questions and criticisms that result from them that D Trump is the biggest snowflake of them all.

I agree, I wouldn't count a second term out for him. They have a rather large selection uneducated trailer trash down south that just love him.
No accounting for taste is there ?????

Not without a constitutional amendment, they don't want no furriner president down there. Especially after seeing what the last furriner done them.

I get a kick out of Canadians giggling like school kids over the president the Americans elected when we have Jr. stumbling around up here, who by the way carried the vote in BC's lower mainland...you're right, there is no accounting for taste with the uneducated...

If you don't like what they are saying about Trump on the left news switch to the right news where they love Trump.

I appreciate your research none the less. Keep that hook wet.

I am an American Citizen and its a small majority as you that gets the attention and the news and its the people with weak minds that have nothing to do but sit on their arse sucking up EI benefits. These people that have the time to protest should have something called a job. (Dugh)
President Trump is doing what he promised, and has inherited a mess from Obama.
In stead of condemning him, he is the president of the United States so lets support him on both sides. Its time we have a president who has a back bone. Give the guy a chance.

What do you think the people of the US feel like. Trump got voted by only 19% of the population.

Sorry Knot but a political leader is a lightning rod for attention and criticism. That's life. Did we give our provincial and federal leaders a break from criticism on this board when they were just elected? They are just doing their job according to their platforms/what they promised (and they even had a stronger mandate than Trump since they at least had the majority of the popular vote compared to their rivals).

I'm assuming by the term "shiny pony" you are talking about Trudeau? Actually I voted for Harper.....again, but it wasn't to be. It was unlike Alberta where Notley got in because too many people can't do simple math.....and THAT may well happen again

your close but not really, there are approx 220,000,000 eligible voters, of which only approx 136,500,000 actually voted...
so more like ~46% of people voted for him
but popular vote is not used so that % does not even matter other then just being a statistic
bottom line is he won 306 to 232 on the votes that actually matter
he won by a large margin, not a total blow out, but still a large margin
if people dont like it they should be protesting for election reform.. but anyone can promise that, right JT??

I think it just just the fact that it is so much easier to tell when Trump is lying..
