CNN is garbage but the President writing off legitimate national security concerns as fake just because CNN reported on it first sets a bad precedent.

Wouldnt surprise me at all if the story is fabricated, and I would expect any politician to deny their truthfulness, regardless.
But Trump's word choice gets him into trouble.
"These are entirely unproven allegations which I vehemently deny," is a lot more convincing and presidential than "nope. Fake news."

Pablo escobar was rich, look what he lead.
Trump was given $200 million. I say he's a trust fund faggot.
Trump's rich daddy gave him a leg up on life, why do you think Webster identifies with him so much?

I love that if you're poor and criticize trust fund billionaires you're jealous. If you're rich and you do it, you're a hypocrite.

Why should anyone be criticized for inheriting wealth?
They can be criticized for what they do with it after the fact, that's fair game in my opinion.
Why? You know exactly why.

Good points.
It seems to me that Obama saw his election as a mandate for social justice. The economics fell by the wayside, and we see what happens when you ignore such a glaring issue for a decade.
The real question is what is Trump's plan for inequality? He wants to kick 30 million people off their health insurance, and then tax them so he can build a wall which will accomplish zero of its intended goals.
Honestly, whats his plan for this? Is there one? Some vague infrastructure plan?

Being totally honest, I can't stand Trump and find him personally repulsive. Having said that, I don't think he truly wants to kick everyone off their health insurance. I think he really believes that he can single handedly negotiate better prices and bring the overall cost down. Trump IS NOT a big corporation kind of guy. He's more of a small FAMILY BUSINESS kind of person. He has always kept his company privately owned and has been critical of people that make money off of money. He's a builder ... He makes stuff ... real stuff and the stock / debt game is not really his schtick. I think, deep down, he believes the publicly traded corporate game is a big scam and although he can't say it, he thinks he's smarter than they are.
He wants to BUILD STUFF and put a lot of people to work doing it. I think he's a lot more like Ike than any other President in terms of his thinking and goals.
Obviously, not in temperment.
Truth be told, I'm much more wary of an emboldened GOP legislature than I am Trump. Its been my concern from day one. Its why I argued for the complete shithead of a person Hillary during the general. The country is much better served under a Democratic Congress and Senate. That won't be a reality until 2020 at the very least, barring some complete GOP meltdown. But yeah, I'm not too worried about Trump himself. Dog whistle rhetoric aside, he's a pretty liberal GOP president-elect.
