Trump's Oz Appearance Dominated the News Cycle. It Distracted From the Bribery/Foundation Scandals!

The whole week was all about Trump's impending appearance on Oz and whether or not Trump would release a medical report. (Will he? He will! He won't! He did!!!)

The MSM fell for it. The MSM were consumed with the anticipation, and the Trump scandals were pushed aside.

Well done, Donald.

The media need to take to start looking in the mirror. They are responsible for his improving poll numbers, because they have sustained the Republican narrative with their one-sided biased reporting.

The MSM are a bunch of morons and cowards. News has become entertainment versus any kind of substance. And so many people/sheeple follow it like the gospel.

Trump is awful, but the media is worse. Ratings, ratings, ratings with no sense of moral conscience.

He's been pushing the GOP narrative.

Just today he said:

"Hillary's campaign is taking on water."

"Hillary is limping."

He enthusiastically put up an electoral map showing Trump winning New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina and Iowa and Maine’s second district, putting Trump at 270.

What the hell??????

9. Today was his third Economic Speech and they carried the entire thing live.

The first two economic speeches consisted of: 1) him discussing his tax plan. 2) him revising his tax plan in its entirety and replacing his tax plan with Ryan and the GOP's Tax Plan. 3) Today he talked about how wonderful his tax oplan will be and how the government will grow at a rate of 4% a year even though none of the Finance experts believe it. Also he has yet to say how he will pay for it.. That doesn't matter. He's using a teleprompter and he's not calling people names so he looks presidential. It doesn't matter that the emperor has no clothes.

The most hypocritical part of his speech is that he said that Ford is sending manufacturing of it's small car line to Mexico. He says that will not happen when he's president. But he's still manufacturing his clothing line in 12 different countries. So there is one standard for him and one standard for Ford. What a hypocrite. At least Ford is still manufacturing cars in Michigan. Whether you agree with Ford or not, Ford says they cannot manufacture their compact cars in the US and make a profit. Trump and Ivanka are not manufacturing anything in this country. But they aren't cutting their prices either. They sell their clothing line at Macy's at very high prices, when clothing manufacturers have said that they can produce clothing here in America for them and they still be profitable. So when Trump and Ivanka start making their clothes here in America, they can talk about Ford. Until then, they are no better than Ford.
