    Unfortunately, with the number of lies the President has told, it's hard to know what is and isn't true.

    This topic is clearly more important than the fact that our president appears to be a lying, unhinged, unquallifed buffoon.

    Let me bump this back to the top.

    Its time Democrats quit talking like he is running the country in the ground.

    At this point that's the false narrative

    And yet it's still unfair to associate him with a Grand Dragon when they CLEARLY aren't and his statements proving him to know of him are denoucing Duke

    Trump doesn't even say negative things about blacks. It's a totally made up narrative

    Its time Trumpfans/Neo-Conservatives quit talking like the only thing that's important in this country is the stock market, corporate profits, and every American able to work a shi%y job.

    The fact is Trump has not made the lives of average Americans any better unless you were lucky enough to work in the select areas that lobbied the GOP last fall.

    And in the process, Trump has eroded the very foundations that hold up our Democracy while IN OUR FACES attempting to extend the powers of the presidency into authoritarianism. Nobody can dispute this with a straight face. He is fundamentally changing, and trying to further change the understood powers of the presidency right in front of our eyes.

    Its not a "false narrative"... its reality, and FoxNews talking points wont be able to waive a magic wand to brainwash the 60% of Americans that don't indulge in right wing propaganda.

    trump is unqualified, a pathological liar, unhinged often is true and is a shared view across the political spectrum. Even some of his supporters agree (they just don’t care).

    On the housing stuff, that was an attempt by the government to integrate northern cities.

    They went after Trump because he is high profile. Trump would not turn down your money if you had credit to rent from him.

    The birther stuff is bad. Not gonna make an excuse other it's just red meat for his support

    He has made their lives worse? We are enjoying a good economy.

    Money is all that matters

    Money is all that matters to who???... to you? Did you get more wealthy by Trump getting elected?

    I'm actually earning less this year because of health insurance costs, which even Trumps former HHS has said has to do with GOP policies on healthcare, and did not get a dime from the Tax Cut. My company just announced a week ago that the corporate cut they got went to pay down debt to to the banks on wallstreet that essentially own us & lobbied for that tax cut.

    Yes... the economy is humming along, and we all should thank our deity every night that we are lucky enough to live in America.

    However.... the economy & the legacy of American economic infrastructure should not be the only thing we care about in our lives. We need to make sure that we can continue to earn more in the future to pay for increasing costs to keep up, put away for our families to make sure our kids can go to college, not cut corners on healthcare & take unnecessary risks to our health & safety, and be confident & proud that we live in a democracy that isn't under the rule of a man-baby tyrant who can change your personal fortune with the stroke of a wand.

    You make up a lot of excuses for his behaviors.

    These are hardly the only two things.

    Red meat for himself. He wasn’t running or part of government when he push the birther conspiracy.

    Personally, the health and happiness of my grandkids matters so much more than money it's not even close.

    So now Trump makes people unhealthy?

    If he makes them unhappy they can stop watching MSNBC. Next time demand Democrats run a better candidate

    I would be unhappy too if I was stupid enough to believe collusion stupidity

    Trump did lie and said he doesn't know David Duke. However, there was proof of Trump speaking or mentioning Duke prior to that. So Trump was a liar. As a journalist, it is acceptable and welcome to cover a politician's lies to the public.

    Trump also dehumanizes individuals and groups all the time. It is fine to not watch or follow Joy Reid because she does that, but I asked if you were going to do the same thing for Trump?

    You said money was all that matters. I wasn't commenting on anything the President did or didn't do with that post. I was simply commenting on the fact that you (not the President) said money was all that matters.

    I am completely perplexed how you turned my comment that money was not all that matters into some Trump comment when I did nothing of the kind.

    And Trump isn't making your kids unhealthy and unhappy. If that's what matters to you I. You brought it up so I'm perplexed why you brought it up and then wrote this in my response to your response

    Edit: don't wanna argue if you aren't on your memory meds

    They are associating them. You and I know who Duke is more than we know each other. Are we associated with Duke
